Notes

Searing the beef is optional but recommended. If your slow cooker offers a sauté function, you can sear the beef directly in the slow cooker.
You can replace the onion powder, garlic powder, and dried thyme with one package of onion soup mix, if preferred.
Store leftover slow cooker beef tips and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat thoroughly on the stove or in the microwave.
