How To Make crock pot beef tips

• Step 1
  Combine the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Dredge the beef pieces through the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
• Step 2
  Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy pot or skillet over medium heat. Brown the beef on both sides. Work in batches so as not to overcrowd the pot. Add more oil when needed.
• Step 3
  Add the seared beef, beef broth, French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaves to the Crock Pot. Cover and cook over high heat. Do not wash the pot.
• Step 4
  Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until the onions are soft and the mushrooms are browned. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook for 1 minute while stirring.
• Step 5
  Scrape the bottom of the pot to remove most of the brown bits. If needed, use 1-2 tablespoons of beef broth to loosen the bits and deglaze the pan.
• Step 6
  Add the vegetables to the Crock Pot. Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-5 hours.
• Step 7
  Mix the corn starch with the remainder of the beef broth and stir it into the crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes or until the gravy thickens.
