A comforting and flavorful dish featuring tender beef tips in a rich sauce served over fluffy rice.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef tips until browned on all sides.
Searing the beef locks in the juices and enhances the flavor of the dish.
Transfer the seared beef tips to a slow cooker.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef to avoid excess oil.
Add the onion, soy sauce, beef broth, garlic, brown sugar, and black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Cook on low heat for 6 hours or until the beef is tender.
Check the beef occasionally to ensure it doesn't overcook.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
Add the slurry to the slow cooker and stir well. Cook for an additional 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir frequently to ensure the sauce thickens evenly.
Cook the rice according to package instructions.
Fluff the rice with a fork after cooking for the best texture.
Serve the beef tips and sauce over the cooked rice.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added flavor.
