Instructions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat.
Add the beef tips in batches, searing each side until deeply browned, about 2‑3 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned meat to the crockpot.,In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrot rounds, and celery slices.
Sauté for 4‑5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion turns translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.,Stir the tomato paste into the vegetables, letting it caramelize for 1‑2 minutes.
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then pour it over the meat in the crockpot.,Season the entire mixture with dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.
Cover the crockpot and set it to low for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork‑tender.,When the cooking time is complete, check the consistency of the gravy.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk the cornstarch slurry into the crockpot, stir well, and let it cook on high for 15‑20 minutes until the gravy thickens.,Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve the beef tips hot, spooning generous amounts of gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
