Key Ingredients & Flavor Notes
The star of this dish is the tender sirloin steak tips, which are perfectly complemented by the crisp green beans and tender potatoes.

Chef’s Tips for Foolproof Slow Cooking
The key to a great Crockpot dish is patience. Allow the ingredients to cook slowly and evenly, and resist the urge to open the lid and check on it too often. This will help ensure that the flavors meld together beautifully and that the beef and vegetables cook evenly. The beef is done when it is tender and easily pierced with a fork, and the green beans and potatoes should be tender.
