Beef Tips

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

• Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring a golden crust on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.

2. Sauté the Aromatics:

• In the same skillet, add chopped onions and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant.
• Add the tomato paste and cook for an additional 2 minutes to deepen the flavors.
• Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens.

3. Deglaze with Red Wine:

• Pour the red wine into the skillet, scraping the bottom to release any flavorful bits. Allow the wine to simmer for a few minutes, reducing slightly.

4. Assemble in the Slow Cooker:

• Transfer the wine and onion mixture to the slow cooker with the browned beef.
• Add the carrots, mushrooms, thyme, and rosemary to the slow cooker.
• Pour in the beef broth, ensuring it covers the ingredients. Stir gently to combine.
