Crockpot Beef Tips!

Fabulous! Ahh, switching it up - ready for a recipe without chicken for once? haha... I usually make this and just toss the beef tips in, but I wanted to thicken up the broth so I floured and pan fried the beef first - not sure it made a huge difference though!

• 1 pound lean beef tips
• 1 pound of baby carrots
• 1 pound of mini potatoes
• 2 cups low sodium beef or vegetable broth
• 1 onion, diced

What you need to do:

1. Optional - heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan. Lightly flour beef tips and quickly brown in the oil
2. Add to crockpot - along with all the above
3. Sprinkle with pepper
4. Cook on low for 6-8 hours!
