SLOW COOKER BEEF TIPS RECIPE
I bet my family has beef tips at least once per month. It is one of my go-t0 favorites, and not only is it delicious, but it also only takes a handful of ingredients. If I am not making Crock Pot beef tips I will use my pressure cooker for Instant Pot Beef Tips.

HOW TO MAKE SLOW COOKER BEEF TIPS
This recipe is so easy and it’s a perfect beginner recipe. My college student loves to make these and impress her friends with this delicious meal. It tastes as if you’ve slaved over a stove, and in reality, you spent just a few moments adding the ingredients to your slow cooker.
WHAT KIND OF SEASONING SHOULD I USE FOR BEEF TIPS
About 90% of the time I will use Dale’s Seasoning. If you’re unable to purchase it locally and want something similar, I would use Worcestershire sauce, garlic and onion powder, black pepper, and a little oregano to my taste.
I also have a substitution for the cream of mushroom soup in the recipe card below.
HOW LONG DO I COOK SLOW COOKER BEEF TIPS IN THE CROCK POT
I recommend cooking the beef tips on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours. If you sear the beef tips in a skillet before placing them in the slow cooker, you can shorten that time. For instance, I will sear in the flavors with my skillet and brown the beef tips before placing them into the Crock Pot. I then cook them on high for 3 hours before serving. If I want them to cook all day after searing them, I will place them in the Crock Pot on low for 6 hours.
HOW DO I STORE SLOW COOKER BEEF TIPS
You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze these beef tips in an airtight container for up to a month.

I’ve never heard of Dale’s… but I love my slow cooker too, so I’m going to see if I can find it!
It is soooo good! I hop you can find it!
Ooh, Dale’s! I’ll have to investigate. This look delicious, as usual. Slow cookers are a fantastic invention.
Hopefully you can find it at a local store, if not, I would totally order it online!
