Dump this premade Asian sesame dressing and just 2 more ingredients over beef tips in the slow cooker for a sweet-savory bowl that beats takeout on busy days.This 3-ingredient

This 3-ingredient slow cooker Asian sesame beef tips recipe is one of those weeknight heroes that feels a little fancy but takes almost no effort. It leans on bottled Asian sesame dressing for that sweet-savory, slightly nutty flavor you’d normally get from a long list of pantry ingredients—soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger—without you actually measuring any of them. Beef tips are perfect for this because they get incredibly tender and soak up all that flavor while you’re at work, running kids to practice, or just trying to keep up with life. If you love takeout-style beef dishes but want something you can toss in the slow cooker and forget about, this is a great go-to.

These Asian sesame beef tips are super versatile. I love serving them over a bed of jasmine or brown rice to soak up all the extra sauce, but they’re also great over cauliflower rice if you’re keeping things lighter. Steamed or roasted veggies like broccoli, snap peas, or green beans pair really well with the sesame flavor, and a simple side salad with an Asian-style vinaigrette makes it feel like a complete meal. If you’re feeding a crowd, you can set this out with a pot of rice, some shredded carrots, sliced green onions, and sesame seeds so everyone can build their own bowl.

2 pounds beef tips (or stew meat)
1 cup Asian sesame dressing (bottled, your favorite brand)
1/2 cup beef broth (or water)
