Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef stew meat with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the seasoned beef and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 3

Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the all-purpose flour, stir well to coat the vegetables, and cook for 1 minute.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, deglazing the skillet by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then pour it over the beef in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or until the beef is tender.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Step 8

To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker 10 minutes before serving and cook until the sauce has thickened.

Step 9

Serve the creamy beef tips over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
