Slow Cooker Rosemary Beef Tips Recipe – On the Monday after New Years, I successfully got Dan off for work, made breakfast and lunch for the kids and dropped them off at school.  I was able to shower and somehow make it to work on time myself.  I thought that I was doing pretty well until later that morning I realized that I did not have anything planned or thawed out for supper.  Thus, on my lunch hour, I literally  ran to the grocery store and did a mad dash throwing things into the cart hoping that I could come up with something passable for dinner.  What came from this lunchtime jog was nothing less than delicious, our Slow Cooker Rosemary Beef Tips Recipe.

About ths

I guess that I got a bit lazy because of the holidays.  We had several long weekends and some extra time off. During that time, my mom was in town and we were able to prepare and plan out meals.  During the New Year weekend, I even planned out our entire long weekend of meals so that we would not have to go to the store at all.  While I was successful, I forgot that Monday we were in a different game.  Both Dan and I were back to work and the boys had to be back at school.  I took not having anything prepared as a challenge, and I think that I rose to the occasion with my Slow Cooker Rosemary Beef Tips Recipe.

Because I had limited time and had to be back to work in an hour, I had to be quick in the grocery store.  I also knew that I would be using the crock pot to cook the majority of this meal as well.  Autopilot kicked in and I came up with a plan to make some sort of beef tips.  I would have enough time to brown the beef tips in a skillet with some onion that I had left over from the weekend.  The sauce could be assembled in the crock pot and all of the ingredients could get to know each other a little better in the crock pot while I was finishing the rest of my work day.  The addition of fresh rosemary sprigs, elevated the dish and added an additional level of flavor which made Slow Cooker Rosemary Beef Tips Recipe special.

With a sauté here, and a stir there, this dish went together in a snap.  I was even able to get 8 servings for around $11.00, which included fresh green beans and biscuits that my boys just love.  So a win all around. Do yourself a favor and give this one a try, even if you do have a lot of time.  It is big on flavor, low on cost and time.  Enjoy. -Scott

    I made this recipe, and it turned out well. The meat was tender and the flavor was delicious. There was a ton of liquid after the 3 hours cooking time on high, but the sour cream helped to thicken it up a little. I removed the rosemary from the stems and chopped it beforehand instead of leaving it in whole. I didn’t see where to add the fresh mushrooms or whether to sauté them first, so I put them into the slow cooker raw. That seemed to work okay. I used 1 1/2 lbs of stew beef, but I think you could easily double the quantity, as there’s not enough meat compared to all of the sauce at the end. It might also benefit from slower, gentler cooking, maybe 8 hours on low. Next time, I will brown the meat first (before the onion and garlic). Doing it the other way around didn’t allow the meat to sear properly while over-browning the onion garlic mixture. Will make it again with some changes but overall a nice, tasty recipe. Thank you, Platter Talk

    This is how my perfect weeknight dinner looks like. Slow cooker + beef = I’m happy. The addition of mushrooms makes it only better!
