- Close the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, whisk together the cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water in a small bowl until smooth. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the slow cooker. 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 3 tablespoons water,
- Cover and cook on high for an additional 30 minutes, until the gravy has thickened.

Notes
- Searing the beef before slow cooking adds depth of flavor, but if you're short on time, you can skip this step. Additionally, to save time, you can just whisk the gravy ingredients in a bowl and pour it over the beef. Exclude the cornstarch until later.
- Add chopped carrots, mushrooms, or bell peppers to the slow cooker for extra veggies and to add more flavor to the gravy.
- If you would like a deeper and richer flavor, substitute 1/2 of beef broth for a dry red wine.
- For this recipe you can use stew meat, sirloin tips or any other sturdy cut of meat.
