5. Cook on high for 5-6 hours or low for 7-8 hours. The longer, the better!
6. Once finished, give everything a good stir. The beef tips and gravy should be perfectly seasoned from the ingredients, but feel free to taste and adjust the salt if needed.

• Feel free to add vegetables like carrots or potatoes for a complete meal in one pot!
• For a twist, try adding a splash of red wine to the gravy mixture for a richer flavor.
