My hubby can never get enough of this sauce! He says it’s his fave!

– 2 pounds beef tips or stew meat, trimmed of excess fat
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
– 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 onion, diced
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 tablespoon if using fresh)
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons cornstarch
– 3 tablespoons cold water

1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef tips and brown them on all sides, which will give your dish a richer flavor. Transfer them into the slow cooker.

2. To the same skillet, add the diced onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, just until fragrant. Spoon this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

3. In the slow cooker, pour in beef broth, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Stir in the rosemary, black pepper, and salt.

4. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.

5. About 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.

6. Let it cook for another 25-30 minutes. Then, give everything a good stir, adjust the seasoning to your taste, and serve warm.
