A savory symphony of tender beef and rich, caramelized onions that transforms an ordinary weeknight into something extraordinary.
Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds Beef tips (chuck or sirloin)
3 large Onions (yellow or sweet), thinly sliced
3 cups Beef broth
1 cup Dry white wine (optional)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon Thyme (fresh or dried)
2 Bay leaves
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
1 cup Cheese (Gruyère or Swiss, optional), shredded
Instructions
Prepare the beef by trimming any excess fat and cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef tips in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch.
Transfer the seared beef to the crockpot. In the same skillet, add a bit of olive oil if needed and sauté the onions until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Then, deglaze the skillet with white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Pour the onion mixture over the beef in the crockpot. Add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If desired, sprinkle with shredded cheese and allow it to melt before serving.
