Prep the Beef: Start by cutting the beef stew meat (or chuck roast) into bite-sized chunks if you haven’t already. This will ensure they cook evenly and become tender as they slow cook.

Mix the Ingredients: In your crock pot, combine the beef broth, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until well mixed. The beef broth will be the base for the rich gravy, and the onion soup mix adds a lot of flavor without much effort.

Add the Beef: Place your beef chunks into the crock pot with the broth mixture. Stir gently to coat the beef in the flavorful liquid.

Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork. The slow cooking process will turn the beef into melt-in-your-mouth perfection.

Thicken the Gravy: Once the beef is ready, mix the cornstarch with the water in a small bowl to make a slurry. Pour the slurry into the crock pot and stir to combine. Let the mixture cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on high until the gravy thickens to your liking.

Serve: Your crock pot beef tips are now ready! Serve them over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a comforting, satisfying meal.
