Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat (or sirloin tips, cubed)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups dry red wine (like Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
• 1 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper, then sear it in the skillet in batches. Cook until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onion and sliced carrots, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir for 1 minute to coat, ensuring the flour is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Slowly pour the red wine into the skillet while stirring to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Allow the mixture to simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Add the beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Stir until the tomato paste is fully dissolved, then pour the mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 8

Add the chopped thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Step 9

Cover and cook on LOW for 7 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well blended.

Step 10

In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker in the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaf and serve the Burgundy Beef Tips over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
