How to Make Melt In Your Mouth Beef Tips with Mushroom Gravy:

Step 1: Season and Sear the Beef

Start by seasoning the beef tips with salt and pepper, then toss them in flour to coat. In a large skillet over medium-high heat (or in your Instant Pot if you’re using it), melt the butter. Add the beef in batches, searing it on all sides until golden and crusty. Once done, remove the beef to a plate and continue searing until all the beef is cooked.

Step 2: Cook the Onions and Scrape the Pan

Add the diced onions to the skillet and cook them for about 2 minutes, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. This step adds extra flavor to the gravy!

Slow Cooker Method:

  1. Transfer the Beef and Onions: Move the seared beef and onions to your slow cooker.

  2. Add the Remaining Ingredients: Add the mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, rosemary, bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, pepperoncinis, and 2 cups beef stock.

  3. Cook: Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 6-7 hours.

  4. Thicken the Gravy: 30 minutes before the cooking time is up, whisk cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water and add it to the slow cooker. Cover and cook for the remaining 30 minutes.

  5. Season and Serve: Season to taste with salt and pepper, and enjoy your mouthwatering beef tips! 🤤

Instant Pot Method:

  1. Add Ingredients to the Instant Pot: Return the beef and onions to the Instant Pot, then add the mushrooms, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, rosemary, bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, pepperoncinis, and 1 1/2 cups beef stock.

  2. Cook: Cover the Instant Pot and select the “Meat/Stew” setting. Cook on high pressure for 35 minutes.

  3. Release the Pressure: After the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before switching the valve to “venting” to release any remaining pressure.

  4. Thicken the Gravy: Turn on the “Sauté” setting. Stir cornstarch into 3 tablespoons of water, then add it to the cooking liquid in the Instant Pot. Let it simmer until the gravy thickens.

  5. Season and Serve: Season to taste with salt and pepper, and your delicious dish is ready to serve! 🍽️
