Crockpot Beef Tips

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds stew beef
• 1 packet Au Jus Gravy mix
• 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
• 1 packet ranch dressing mix
• 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
• Mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crockpot:
   • Place the stew meat in the crockpot, ensuring an even layer.
2. Season the Meat:
   • In a small bowl, combine the Au Jus Gravy mix, Lipton Onion Soup mix, and ranch dressing mix. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
3. Coat the Meat:
   • Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the stew meat in the crockpot, covering the meat on all sides.
4. Add Butter:
   • Place the stick of butter on top of the seasoned meat to add richness and enhance flavor.
5. Cover and Cook:
   • Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld, and the meat becomes tender.
6. Stir Occasionally (Optional):
   • If available, stir the meat occasionally during the cooking process to ensure even coating of the seasoning and butter.
7. Serve Over Mashed Potatoes:
   • Once the beef tips are cooked to perfection, serve them over a bed of mashed potatoes. The savory sauce created during cooking complements the creamy mashed potatoes.
8. Garnish (Optional):
   • Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
9. Enjoy:
   • Serve the Slow Cooker Savory Beef Tips hot and enjoy a delicious, comforting meal
