  • Whisk flour, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and seasoned salt in a large bowl until smooth, and toss beef tips in flour mixture to coat. Remove beef with a slotted spoon.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy pan or Dutch oven over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms and 1 small chopped onion in oil until onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Stir in seasoned beef tips and cook and stir until beef is browned and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.
  • Pour in beef broth and whisk dry brown gravy mix into beef mixture until smooth; stir in 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf, parsley, and Merlot. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat; simmer until gravy has thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a slow cooker, cover, and cook on Low for 8 hours.
