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

Add the beef tips to the bottom of your slow cooker, spreading them out in an even layer so they cook evenly.

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the Asian sesame dressing and beef broth until well combined.

Pour the dressing mixture over the beef tips, making sure the meat is mostly submerged. Stir gently if needed to coat.

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the beef tips are very tender and easily pulled apart with a fork.

Once cooked, give everything a good stir. If you’d like a slightly thicker sauce, you can remove the lid and let it cook on HIGH for an additional 15–20 minutes, or stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water) and cook until thickened.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (some dressings are saltier than others). Serve the beef tips with plenty of sauce over rice, noodles, or your favorite side.

To stretch this recipe or sneak in more veggies, add sliced onions, bell peppers, or carrots to the slow cooker along with the beef tips—just know that technically makes it more than 3 ingredients, but it’s worth it on busy weeks. If you prefer a little heat, stir in a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha with the dressing and broth. For a sweeter, more teriyaki-style vibe, add 1–2 tablespoons of brown sugar or honey. You can also swap beef tips for thinly sliced flank steak or even boneless, skinless chicken thighs; just keep an eye on cook time, as thinner cuts may be done a bit sooner. To make this feel more “takeout night,” garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds right before serving. And for meal prep, portion the beef and sauce over rice in individual containers—they reheat really well for easy lunches during the week.
