3️⃣ Beef Asparagus
🍂Ingredients:
2 pounds beef sirloin tip steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional, for searing)
3/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
1 cup low-sodium beef broth
3 tablespoons minced shallots (about 2 small shallots)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
1 pound fresh asparagus, woody ends trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional, for finishing)
Additional chopped fresh tarragon or parsley, for garnish
🍂Instructions:
1. Pat the beef sirloin tip steak chunks dry with paper towels and season all over with the kosher salt and black pepper. This helps the meat brown better if you choose to sear it and gives it a head start on flavor.
2. Optional but recommended: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches so you don’t crowd the pan, sear the beef chunks for 1 to 2 minutes per side, just until nicely browned. Transfer the browned beef directly into the bottom of your slow cooker. If you’re in a rush, you can skip searing and place the seasoned raw beef chunks straight into the slow cooker.
3. In a medium mixing bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dry white wine, fresh lemon juice, beef broth, minced shallots, chopped fresh tarragon, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey (if using) until everything is well combined. This is your one bright, herby mixture that will season the beef as it cooks.
4. Arrange the raw or browned beef sirloin tip steak chunks in an even layer in the slow cooker, spreading them out so the mixture can drizzle between the pieces. Give the mixture in the bowl a final stir, then slowly drizzle this one mixture evenly over the beef in the slow cooker, making sure the shallots and tarragon are distributed throughout. The liquid should come about halfway up the beef; it will release more juices as it cooks.
5. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is very tender and easily pulls apart with a fork. The exact time can vary depending on your slow cooker and the size of your beef chunks.
6. About 30 minutes before serving, add the asparagus pieces directly to the slow cooker, nestling them down into the cooking liquid and between the beef chunks so they can cook evenly. Cover and continue cooking on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the asparagus is crisp-tender and bright green.
7. Once the asparagus is cooked, taste the cooking liquid and adjust seasoning as needed with a pinch more salt or a squeeze of extra lemon juice if you like it brighter. If you’d like a slightly richer finish, stir in the unsalted butter until melted.
8. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beef and asparagus to serving bowls or a platter. Spoon some of the lemon-tarragon jus from the slow cooker over the top. Garnish with additional chopped fresh tarragon or parsley.
9. Serve hot immediately with steamed rice or your favorite side dish and enjoy.
