How to Make Gravy in So Cooker With Beef

Slow Cooker Beef Tips and Gravy, a heavenly tender, flavourful and rich meal to make dinner the best time of the day. Melt-in-your-mouth beef, smooth gravy, all served over creamy mashed potatoes and a handful of peas. The best ever comfort food!

This is a dish after my own heart! It's filling, it's packed with rich flavours, and it's the perfect comfort food in winter. Slow cookers must have been invented for cooking beef, really. If you want the beef cooked to perfection, so tender that it melts in your mouth, this recipe is for you.

And that gravy! Forget about gravy granules and other store-bought cheap-quality gravy pots, this is the real deal. Apart from searing the beef before adding it to the slow cooker, everything else is cooked in one pot, thus saving you time and energy.

And no dishes to wash afterwards. I do like one pot meals, don't you?

Now, quality meat will always bring the best and most delicious results. You can use any good beef, already diced or steak that you cut into cubes yourself.

Searing the beef, although optional, does add more flavour to the dish. If you really are short of time, you can just dump everything in the slow cooker and still get a yummy meal. But, if you want to take this dish to the very next level, sear the beef chunks, and you'll get the best possible beef and gravy.

• lightly coat the beef chunks with flour, making sure you shake off the excess flour
• heat up the oil in a pan, and fry the beef until lightly brown

Make sure you don't overcrowd the pan, if you cook for a larger meal, sear the beef in batches.

• add the beef to the slow cooker together with the beef stock (broth), Worcestershire sauce, Italian herbs and chopped onion
• Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8-9 hours

When the beef is tender, use a spatula to remove it. Pass the beef broth through a sieve, so that all bits can discarded. We'll be left with a clear broth.

Transfer it back to the slow cooker, mix the cornflour (corn starch) with water, add it to the broth, and mix well. Leave to cook for high for 15-20 minutes until the gravy thickens to the desired consistency, then add the beef back in.

What do you serve with beef and gravy

Mashed potatoes and peas are my favourite sides for this delicious dish. You get a great range of flavours and textures, and a complete meal with protein, carbs and veggies. Basmati riceis another great side dish which goes well with pretty much any meat. Serve some greens on the side, and you have one delicious dinner.

Some good old roast potatoes are another great side to go with this delicious slow cooker beef tips and gravy.
