Marinated Beef Tips With Arugula Salad

• 1 1/2 lbs beef tips, cut into bite-size pieces
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 - 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/2 cup ruby port (or ruby marsala)
• 6 ounces portabella mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
• 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and halved and cut into 1/4 inch strips
• 1/2 sweet onion, sliced
• 5 ounces arugula leaves, fresh
• 6 ounces mixed greens
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped

1. Add beef to a medium size bowl; set aside.
2. In separate bowl mix together the olive oil, garlic, steak seasoning, 1 tablespoon basil, salt and pepper. Pour over beef tips, and stir to evenly coat beef pieces with the marinade. Cover and let beef marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours, turning often.
3. Add marinated beef tips to slow cooker. Pour water and wine over beef. Cover with lid, and slow cook for 6 hours.
4. After the first 3 hours of cooking, place the sliced mushrooms, bell pepper strips and onion slices over beef (but don't stir). Cover, and continue cooking for the remaining 3 hours, or until beef is thoroughly cooked and fork-tender.
5. Toss together the arugula leaves, mixed greens and the remaining 1 tbsp chopped basil.
6. To serve, place a serving of the arugula salad on each plate. Spoon beef and vegetables over each salad serving, letting some of the beef/wine sauce drizzle over the greens.
7. Serve immediately.
