This slow cooker beef tips recipe delivers unbelievably tender meat and a rich, savory brown gravy with minimal effort. It is the perfect hands-off dinner for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat (or chuck roast cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 packet onion soup mix
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for searing, optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. If you choose to sear, heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef tips with salt and pepper. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Skip this step if you prefer a true hands-off method.
  2. Place the browned (or raw) beef tips into your slow cooker.
  3. Pour the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce over the beef. Stir gently to combine everything.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender.
  5. Stir the mixture before serving. Taste the gravy and add more salt or pepper if needed.
  6. Serve the tender crockpot beef tips and rich brown gravy over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker gravy without adding flour, remove about 1 cup of the liquid near the end of cooking and whisk it with 2 tablespoons of cornstarch until smooth. Return the mixture to the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  • This recipe works well with sirloin tips or chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces.
  • If you want a garlic butter flavor profile, add 2 cloves of minced garlic along with the other liquids.
