1 average sized piece of steak per person
1.5-2 potatoes per person
1 carrot per person (optional)
mushrooms (as many as you like to taste - optional)
1 can of chopped tomatoes
splash of red wine
teaspoon of gravy granules
cornflour to thicken
1 . Shred the raw steak into nice bite sized pieces and chop all of the veg and potatoes into chunks
2. Put all steak and veg into the crock pot
3. Add the can of chopped tomatoes and the red wine
4. Sprinkle over the gravy granules and salt and pepper if desired
5. Mix together in the crock pot
6. Cook on High for approximately 3 to 4 hours
7. Add cornflour to thicken to taste
Prep: 10 min., Cook: 4 hr.
Yield: Makes 6 servings
2 pounds beef sirloin tips, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 (8-oz.) package sliced fresh baby portobello mushrooms or your favorite sliced mushrooms
1 (10 3/4-oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup dry red wine
1 (1-oz.) envelope dry onion soup mix
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1. Stir together beef tips and remaining ingredients in a lightly greased 5-qt. slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on HIGH 4 hours or until beef is tender, stirring once after 2 hours. Serve the beef tips over hot cooked egg noodles or rice tossed with parsley.
Note: Though we love the hands-off advantage of the slow cooker, this recipe works better when you can stay close by to stir it occasionally. Stirring prevents sticking and distributes ingredients evenly.
