Can I Use A Roast To Make Beef Tips
Of course. If you have a pot roast, feel free to dice it up into your own stew meat. You want cubes of beef so they brown up and are a nice size. Bite-size pieces are what I aim for. You just want the beef to be cut similar in size so they all cook up about the same amount of time.
Beef tips and Gravy are such an easy recipe, especially when you reach for your Crock pot!
Do I Have To Add In The Mushrooms To Slow Cooker Beef Tips
No, if you are not a fan of beef tips totally feel free to leave them out of the recipe. We love mushrooms and they are loaded with nutrients. But, if you prefer just leave them out of the recipe. It will still taste very flavorful without.
What To Serve With Beef Tips
- Rice
- Mashed Potatoes
- Cauliflower Rice
- Steamed or Roasted Vegetables
- Crisp green salad
This beef tips recipe is one you will love to eat.
Instant Pot Beef Stew Recipe
If you want this slow cooker beef tip recipe to be SUPER FAST instead, simple add the meat to your Instant pot with 1 cup of beef broth. Set your Instant pot to MANUAL for 30 minutes. Remove the fork tender beef and set to saute, add the Xanthan gum and whisk. Add the seasonings. Let broth come to a bubbly boil, cancel Instant Pot and continue whisking until mixture thickens. Add beef back in and keep warm until you are ready to eat.
If you wish to turn this into an Instant Pot Beef Stew Recipe simpy add carrots and potatoes. IF ON THE KETO OR LOW CARB DIET- use whole radishes and onions. Maybe even asparagus!
Why Do You Sear The Beef Before Putting In The Slow Cooker
You will want to sear your beef before you put in the slow cooker, to help with texture and flavor. When you brown up the outside it creates a texture that you will really enjoy. It also helps lock in tons of flavor. You will notice a night and day flavor difference from searing meat to not searing the meat. Beef tips always taste so much better with a sear on them!
