Slow Cooker Beef Tips & Gravy (Paleo, Whole30)

This post is sponsored by iHerb. 

Beef tips cook with a homemade gravy in this slow cooker recipe. Comfort food made healthy! This recipe is both paleo and whole30 compliant.

Slow cooker season is in full swing. Anyone else excited? This beef tips and gravy recipe is why I love slow cooker recipes. It’s the ultimate comfort food but that doesn’t mean it has to be unhealthy.

I recently did a little bit of shopping at the online grocery store, iHerb. When I say, ‘a little bit’, what I really mean is I spent a little bit of money but I got a lot of healthy ingredients return. Don’t you love that kind of shopping?!? I also love that iHerb carries over 5,000 healthy grocery products so they’re pretty much a one-stop shop; I got most of the ingredients for this recipe in one purchase. And delivered 2 days later.

This is all about the homemade gravy. I tried to keep it as healthy as possible hence the low-sodium grass-fed bone broth, organic ghee, organic seasonings, and a homemade slurry using arrowroot starch/flour.

Slurries are great ways to thicken up your slow cooker recipes. Most people use cornstarch or white flour however because this is a whole30 & paleo compliant recipe, I used arrowroot. The ratio is 1-part arrowroot, 2 parts water.

How thick do you like your gravy? If you like thicker gravy then use a little more slurry. Don’t worry, this won’t alter the taste.
