Liquids and Seasonings
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 tsp thyme or rosemary
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Thoroughly chop the potatoes, slice the carrot, chop the onion, and mince the garlic to have all vegetables ready for cooking.
- Layer Ingredients: Place the beef tips into the slow cooker, followed by adding the diced potatoes, sliced carrot, chopped onion, and minced garlic evenly over the beef.
