Slow Cooker Beef Tips

1 lb grass fed stew meat

1 cup of flour

2 tsp salt

2 tsp pepper

1 tbsp of olive oil 

½ cup of red wine

2 cloves of garlic

4 cups of beef broth, divided 

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 bay leaf

½ cup onion, sliced

4 tbsp cornstarch

Directions

Using a paper towel, pat dry the stew meat. Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Dredge the stew meat in the flour until completely coated. 

Optional: In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil. Sear stew meat in batches. Stew meat should have brown edges – and will not be fully cooked.

Add stew meat to slow cooker. Add in red wine, garlic, Worcestershire, onion, bay leaf, and 3 cups of beef broth. Set slow cooker on low for 8 hours.

At 6 hours, stir 4 tbsp of cornstarch into 1 cup of beef broth. Add mixture to slow cooker and cook the remaining 2 hours.
