How To Make This Delicious Sirloin Beef Tips Recipe!

When you begin to make this slow cooker recipe, make sure to spray your slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.

Then, in a medium mixing bowl, mix together the flour, salt, garlic powder, and ground pepper.

Using this spice mixture, dredge the meat tips through the flour being sure to coat all the sides of each piece.

Beef dredged in flour

Now, in a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and then brown the tips for a couple of minutes and then place them into the slow cooker. You are not trying to cook them all the way through at this point.

Next, dump the onions and mushrooms on top of the browned sirloin in the slow cooker.

Onions and mushrooms mixed with beef tips in the slow cooker

In a small mixing bowl, mix together the broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, red wine vinegar, and water.

Once that is done, pour the mixture over top of the meat in the slow cooker.

Pouring broth mixture on top of beef tips

Finish this portion off by sprinkling a little Italian seasoning over top and turning the slow cooker on low for 7-8 hours.

After the meat is done cooking, mix together the cornstarch with water in a separate bowl.

Corn starch and water mixed with a spoon

Strain the meat out of the slow cooker and hold it in a small bowl while you are making the gravy.

Strainer with beef tips and drippings

Pour the cornstarch mix into the juices at the bottom of the slow cooker and mix everything together well with a whisk.

Once the gravy has formed, add the sirloin tips back into the slow cooker and turn it on high for another 10 minutes to allow the gravy to thicken.

Now, just serve with your favorite sides and dig in. (We suggest some delicious mashed potatoes!)

After simmering in your slow cooker all day, the beef tips literally fall apart when you touch them! Serve over mashed potatoes for a perfect and hearty meal.
Prep Time 10 mins
Cook Time 8 hrs
Total Time 8 hrs 10 mins
Print Pin

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 pounds beef tips or stew meat cubed
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 cup fresh mushrooms
  • 10.5 ounces beef broth condensed
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 Tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 Tablespoons cold water

Instructions

  • Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Dredge meat tips in the flour mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat, then brown tips for a couple of minutes (you aren't cooking them all the way through, just browning the edges). Place beef tips in slow cooker.
  • Dump onions and mushrooms on top of meat in slow cooker.
  • Mix broth, Worcestershire, ketchup, red wine vinegar, water in a bowl. Pour on top of meat in slow cooker.
  • Sprinkle Italian seasoning on top of everything and cook on low for 7-8 hours.
  • After meat is finished cooking, mix cornstarch together with water in a separate bowl. Using a strainer, remove beef tips from slow cooker and place in a separate bowl. Pour cornstarch mixture into remaining liquid in the crock pot and mix well. Add the beef tips back into the slow cooker and cook on high for about 10 minutes or until the liquid starts to thicken and turns into a gravy.
  • Serve over hot mashed potatoes.

Notes

*You can purchase a sirloin roast and cut it into 1-2″ pieces if you store does not carry the tips already. You can also substitute beef stew cubes, which you can find in in the meat department of most grocery stores.
If you are short on time, you can skip the 3rd step where you brown the meat in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. Browning the meat will help to lock in the moisture, giving you extra tender and juicy meat, but it will still taste great even if you don’t brown it.

    Hi there! This sounds like something my husband would love! Help me out, though- what are sirloin roast tips? I have never seen that in any of the meat sections of grocery stores in my area. Since we don't seem to have that, any suggestions on a substitution? Thanks!

      Heidi- so sorry about that! You can actually just buy a sirloin roast and cut it into 1-2" pieces and it will work perfectly. :) Another thing that you can do is buy beef stew cubes (they usually have them all cut into pieces for beef stew in the meat section of the grocery store) and it will work!

    Made this and it is great! I cheated though...I had cube steak thawed out and had to use it, so I cut it into 1" pieces and used it. Hubby loved it! If it was that good using cube steak, I can only imagine how good it is with roast tips! ;) This recipe is a keeper! But then again, what recipe on this site isn't!? Thanks again!

      March 17, 2016
      You need 3 to 4 pounds of sirloin tips, so if using a roast you would want it to be about that same weight. Any sliced mushrooms in the produce section will work great.

      Just double everything for feeding a larger crowd. You may need to use more than one slow cooker if it's more than 2/3 full after doubling. Campbell's makes a condensed beef broth. But here is how you can substitute regular beef broth - About Condensed beef broth Beef broth which has been reduced down so it is stronger than regular strength broth. Campbell's makes condensed chicken and beef broth and it can be found in the soup isle of most grocery stores. Substitute for Condensed beef broth For 1 cup of condensed broth, simmer 1 1/2 cups regular strength broth and reduce to 1 cup. So you would need to adjust accordingly to your measurements if you are doubling the recipe.

    I made this recipe today, I follow all the steps and did a reduction in the beef both since my store don't carry it, I loved the taste, but it was very soggy, the last step when I'm supposed to add the corn starch, the meet had no water or juice to drain it was dry! What did I do wrong?

    Would the beef tenderloin be a better cut than the sirloin roast? Or is the sirloin roast a better choice for slow cooking? What is the purpose of the red wine vinegar? I don't have any, but could I use dry red wine?

          Hi Connie, I did some searching and reading on the internet. Where this recipe only calls for 2 Tablespoons of Red Wine Vinegar you should be fine substituting. Here is what I found for you..... Substituting vinegar does not alter the taste of the dish substantially. However, this is true only if the recipe demands a little use of vinegar. Balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar can all be substituted for red wine vinegar.

      You could totally leave out the onions if you don't like them. You could also add in an envelope of onion soup mix for flavor. The cornstarch and water at the end thickens up the liquid to make a gravy. You could skip that last step if you don't want your liquid to be thick.

      Hi Lori. I made this last Sunday for dinner. It really is so easy to make and the slow cooker basically does all the work. I didn't even do step #3 in the instructions. I put the floured meat tips directly into the slow cooker. (So I didn't use any olive oil since I didn't brown the tips.) Let it cook all day on low and it was amazing. You should be fine making this recipe! Let us know if you have any other questions.

      January 25, 2022
      The temperature of the slow cooker depends on the model. The slow cooker has a temperature of 190 - 200 degrees F. while on the low setting. The temperature ranging between 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimum cooking temperature on your slow cooker. So your oven would need to be at that temp and follow the instructions as directed in the recipe. You would want to use a good pan too.
