CROCK POT BEEF TIPS AND GRAVY
Crock Pot Beef Tips and Gravy is a simple slow cooker recipe that is made with chuck roast, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix and a special seasoning. Want to make your own onion soup mix? Be sure to try my HOMEMADE DRY ONION SOUP MIX. It works wonderful in this meal!
WHAT CAN I SERVE WITH BEEF TIPS?
I like serving beef tips over rice to take advantage of all that yummy gravy! You can also serve with my MILLION DOLLAR MASHED POTATOES or just some simple egg noodles. Also, we really love these MAPLE GLAZED CARROTS as a veggie side dish!
INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
- beef chuck roast
- lemon pepper seasoning
- dry onion soup mix
- cream of mushroom soup (lower sodium)
- beef broth (low sodium)
- butter
- flour
Note: I am using a Flat Iron cut of Beef Chuck Roast. Any chuck roast will work. I got a great deal at Kroger on this so that's why I went with this particular cut. Also, you can purchase pre-cut stew meat (like the picture below) to save on time.
HOW TO MAKE CROCK POT BEEF TIPS WITH GRAVY:
In a 5 quart slow cooker, combine dry onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. Whisk to combine (don't worry if there are lumps, they will come out as it cooks.)
Cut beef into about 1 ½-inch cubes. Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning on beef.
Add meat to crock pot and give it all a good stir.
Cover and cook on low for at least 6-8 hours.
Once it's ready, you can work on the gravy. Now, you can serve this up just as it is when it is ready. But I know some folks like a thicker gravy and it couldn't be easier to make. In a medium pot, melt two tablespoons of butter. Once it is melted, add in about 3 heaping tablespoons of flour. Whisk it together until smooth. In French cooking terminology, this is called a "roux" (pronounced "roo".)
Pour in 2 cups of the beef broth mixture into the butter/flour mixture. What I like to do is scoop all the beef tips out of the crock pot and put them in a bowl or on a plate. Then pour 2 cups of the beef broth mixture into a measuring cup.
Whisk it together until smooth, then bring the heat up to high (while whisking briskly the whole time.) It should quickly begin to thicken. Once it gets to your desired thickness, take it off the heat and pour it back into your crock pot. Then add the beef tips back in and stir well.
Serve over rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles!
Cook’s note: If you don’t have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute cream of chicken. But I will tell you that neither my husband and I enjoy mushrooms and we enjoy this. You don't taste any mushrooms as an ingredient in this.

Can I pour the egg noodles in with the beef tips & gravy
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Cooked egg noodles? Yes. I wouldn’t do uncooked or they’ll soak up most of the liquid and it won’t turn out.
Catherine
Sounds yummy ! Looks great! I'm trying this recipe for dinner tonight! I got everything going in the crock pot now!! Can't wait to enjoy n see how it turns out! Thanks for posting this easy n simple recipe! I will update.
Jay
Love it !!!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thanks Jay!
Ramon Ayre
Thank you for your great comfort food recipe! Made it with a 3 lb. blade roast cut into 2" cubes and served it over egg noodles. Definitely will get into our crockpot meal rotation!
Georgia
Great!
Terri
Made this doubling the ingredients, added a small onion, chopped and a 16oz. Pkg of sliced mushrooms.
It was excellent. Thickened the gravy as instructed. Wonderful flavor in the gravy.
My only question is there was way too much gravy. I think I could’ve kept as the recipe stated and used the 3:lbs. of meat...I used sirloin.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
So happy you loved it Terri! Thanks so much for taking the time to come back and comment! Love the addition of mushrooms. You are right about the gravy. I tend to use a lot of the gravy to serve over mashed potatoes or rice. 🙂
Cheryl
I freeze leftover gravy or meat/gravy.
Denise
This is delicious. The second time I made it I left out the lemon pepper and I thought it taste better. I added a large sliced onion and some garlic to it too.
Brandie thanks so much for all these Delicious recipes you post!!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thanks so much for coming back to leave feedback Denise! I appreciate it!
Gina DeMarco
I am soooo glad I found this recipe!!
It is very flavorful and delicious, and my husband loves it too!! Thank you for sharing it! ????
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thank you for coming back to comment Gina! Always love hearing that a recipe turned out well!!
Tammy
omg this is so yummy we added mushrooms to ours and it's so easy to make
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thank you so much Tammy!! 🙂
Gina DeMarco
I made this with egg noodles and it came out perfect!!
Had a delay taste to it. I used chuck roast instead of flat iron.
Will definitely be making this alot!!
Carolyn Tedeschi
I have been making this for years on the stove. So glad to have a Crock recipe! So much better than cooking on the stove for 2-3 hours. I add sauteed mushrooms because we like a lot of mushrooms
Nancy
Could fresh sliced mushrooms be added to the recipe along with all of the other ingredients.
Thank you.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
I don't see why not!
Jess
Wow - this was SO easy but SO good. We all loved it!! Wouldn't change a thing!
Bill
Looks very good! If I want to double the recipe should I completely double it all? It seems like using my crock pot, a little liquid goes a long way. Thanks for any suggestions and advice.
Jamie Taylor
I am looking forward to making this. I just find it a little strange to use lemon pepper seasoning on the beef.
Sandra J Garner
I fixed the Crock Pot Beef Tips for supper tonight! Delicious and the meat was so tender and the gravy so yummy! My husband had seconds. 🙂 The only thing I did difference is: for the gravy, I used cornstarch & water mixture to thicken it up a little. I made the Crock Pot Lasagna the nigh before. It turned out awesome! My husband loved it and had seconds there too. and Lasagna isn't a fav of his but it is mine so we have it here & there..Thank you for the awesome recipes.. Going to look to see what is next....
Kristie
This was easy and good. I used stew beef and regular cream of mushroom soup. It was a tad bit salty, so I'll use the lower sodium soup as recommended next time My family ate it all, so I'll make it again.
Heather
Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU for this recipe!
I have made this 4 times now, and I am again today. My entire family LOVES it; and my daughter is probably one of the most pickiest eaters ever!
Just FYI: *(If you don’t like mushrooms or are allergic - I have friends who are)* Growing up, my mom would use Cream of Mushroom Soup in SO MANY different recipes & neither her nor myself liked mushrooms! So, a tip my mom taught me when she was teaching me to cook is to simply take the Cream of Mushroom Soup & work thru a strainer with a large spoon over a bowl. The de-mushroomed soup will come out the bottom side of the strainer (into the bowl) leaving the mushrooms in the strainer. Just make sure to break up & strain the can of Soup into 3rds so you can scoop out the mushrooms from within the strainer and into the trash so the process is easier. Do note: your hand will be tired (even cramp maybe) from working the spoon back-&-forth-&-back-&-forth-&-back-&-forth (& so on...) so if you want, get the kid(s) involved in the prep process and have them help (I even have my husband help with this sometimes as well!)
Heather
Also - you can use the strainer idea to strain the onions out of the soup mix (just shake it slightly- don’t use a spoon or the onions will break and go thru the strainer). I am severely allergic to onions so I have to do this all the time with many different foods!
Kristi
I made this recently in my Instant Pot and it was delicious! Tasted like it cooked all day in the crock pot but it didn't take near as long! Love this recipe!
Ally
Yum! I'm (impatiently) waiting for this to cook right now. I'm doing it on high for 4-5 hours instead of low for 8 because it's already 6 pm here. I added in a handful of chopped onions and plan on making the gravy fairly thick. I'm pouring it over mashed potatoes and a thick slice of texas toast to make open-faced beef sandwiches (my latest pregnancy craving!) Serving with a side of either peas or mixed veggies and ending with a dessert of chunky banana pudding and vanilla wafers. My mouth is watering just typing this. Thanks so much for this recipe!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Oh my goodness! Now you're making me hungry! ????Congratulations on your pregnancy! Yay! I'm a firm believer that pregnancy cravings must be indulged!
Pam Elkin
Thia is delicious and so easy. The roux was easy and turned out well. A new try for me! This goes into my repeat file, for sure! Thank you for sharing. I love your posts.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Yay Pam! Thanks so much for coming back to let me know!
Sindee Hernandez
Made this tonight for dinner!!! It's actually one of my favorite dishes to make, but rarely have the time to do it on the stovetop, this is hands down my new favorite slowcooker meal, put it in before I left for work this morning, and came home to a delicious meal, with very little more to do before dinner was on the table!!!! And the kiddos LOVED it too, thanks for sharing your recipe!!!!
Brandie
I am so glad you and the family enjoyed it. It is one of my crews favorites.
sue
This was delicious you can't taste any mushroom and hubby who doesn't like mushroom had no idea and couldn't devour it fast enough. This one is a keeper.
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Sue, that is always what I tell folks. It adds flavor but you don't taste it as a separate ingredient I don't like mushrooms either. LOL! Thank you for letting me know you liked it!
Peggy
I was reading all the comments so had to comment myself. Y'all - there is this thing called the internet. You can google substitutions. Seriously. Someone gives you a recipe and you want a million substitutions just go to Google and see what is available. Do you think Brandie has made this in all the ways possible? I doubt it. Or else she would've given you all the substitution options. If your "hubby" doesn't like onions then tell him to make his own darn meal or how about you just don't make this recipe and move along? Your "hubby" doesn't like mushrooms. Again, tell your dearest to make his own darn meals if he is so dang picky or better yet, make something else. Again - GOOGLE is your friend! This was wonderful - AS IS - and I made it for myself just as written!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Peggy, your comment made me giggle. I will say that you are right in that I have only made it this one way. We like it so I have not tried any substitutions so I honestly cannot speak to any changes. Glad you enjoyed it!
Patricia
We love this recipe at my house! The itty bitty mushrooms in the cream of mushroom soup are ridiculously tiny. So you don't taste or even see them really. Don't sweat the cream of mushroom soup - it really makes this dish. For those with allergies, there are TONS of internet recipes to make your own cream soups. Brandie - don't stop sharing recipes like this. We love them. I work two jobs and so does my husband. I *need* more recipes like this so I can feel good about cooking for my family and not always picking up fast food. Bless you!
Linda King
I bet you could, Janice. If you're only adding a few potatoes and carrots, it'll probably be fine. If you're adding a lot, maybe double the soupy ingredients to ensure you have enough gravy?
janice
Is it possible to put in potatoes and carrots to make a beef stew. It looks wonderful and I'm dying to try it.....
Almostriley
I have a kid who really does not like mushrooms. Not the taste - the texture. I ignored it for years but he's so good about eating other things, I decided it really was an aversion. I don't like some food stuffs either. I mixed the broth in the mushroom soup and strained it. It was easy. He loved the beef tips and was grateful I took the extra time.
Glo lautzenhiser
Instead of straining try blending , more flavor
Em Anne
My husband hates onions of any form. Can you suggest a substitution for the onion soup mix??
Angie H
Looks so warm and inviting and delicious! Putting the ingredients on my shopping list right now! Thank you for sharing!
Theresa
This was great! I just have to echo what everyone else said about the Cream of Mushroom. Don't switch it out with something else. Husband and I do not like mushrooms but I always make a recipe as it is written the first time so I can properly judge. I would not change a thing on this. It was SO good. I was skeptical but it was AWESOME!!
SJerZGirl
I am not a fan of mushrooms at all, but this is one way I will use the soup. Love this! Five stars all the way! Thank you for thinking of us busy parents!!
Christy Zornes
I ran across this recipe yesterday and it is in my crock pot today! Thank you so much for your recipes! I have been looking for some good crock pot recipes since I work night shift and my husband works days. I can put dinner on when I get home in the morning and he can eat a good dinner when he gets home at night!! Thanks again for sharing!!!

I use this same basic recipe with pork chops and venison. It would probably work with chicken too.
Rob
David Blackwell
can you do it on high for say 4 hrs?
Melissa @ My Recent Favorite Books
This really looks and sounds delicious! Pinned! =)
Wendy
Wonderful! Wonderful! I've made it with Chuck Roast, london broil and sirloin tips I think it was called. I'm going to make it ahead and freeze to take on an RV trip. I'll just make noodles fresh at the campsite and pull the beef out of the freezer! EASY! Thanks for sharing!
Kim Honeycutt
This is the type dish I love to make in the crock pot. Thanks! I pinned it!
juju
Tried this a few weeks ago and my boyfriend asked for it again yesterday... Thank you for your awesome recepies 🙂
Anonymous
Brandie -- This is going in my crock pot as we speak. I had the tail end of a London Broil that I cut up bite sized and used. The smell alone is enough to send anybody into hunger spasms. It smells wonderful. I think I'll serve over egg noodles, but potatoes sound good too.. At any rate, I'll let you know how Hubs likes it....Also there's a little joint down the road that serves beef tips and gravy with get this, Steak Fries.
Laurie Reed
I made these tonight. I used 3 pounds of stew meat and browned it before adding it to the crock pot. I doubled everything else and it came out so delicious. I'm sending the leftovers over to my in-laws house in the morning, I'm sure they will love it, too.
Kristen
I'm soooo happy I found this blog! I made these beef tips last night and they were fabulous! My husband hates mushrooms but I decided to sneak in cream of mushroom soup anyway. I held my breath for his first bite and he loved it!!! He still has no idea it has mushrooms! I'm making your chicken nuggets tonight!! Thank you 🙂
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Kristen, my husband didn't know either until he saw the recipe posted later on this blog. Haaa! He does not like anything mushroom but he had no clue! Your comment made me giggle. So happy you loved this one! I hope you find lots more recipes that you love!
Lauren
In the slow cooker right now! Thanks again for dinner tonight! <3
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Hope you loved it!
Leanne
I couldnt find sirloin tips after looking at two stores so I bought sirloin steaks and cut them up into pieces. This is one of my favorite recipes I've ever made. Just as delicious the next day.
C. Hughes
I used the cream of chicken tonight since we're not big on mushrooms. I also used beefy onion lipton soup mix. It is AWESOME! Definitely a keeper for a regular dinner option! Thanks so much!
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know how it turned out for ya!
Linda
I was wondering the same thing about using cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom. I'm so glad to hear you like it!!Thanks!!
Miracle09
What size cans of beef broth and cream of mushroom should I use?
Brandie @ The Country Cook
Sorry I didn't include that. Just use the standard size can sizes (not the larger ones). I believe they are a 10 or 11 oz?
CHAD AHLERS
Has anyone used the cream of chicken soup? If you have, how did it turn out?

Campbell's Beefy Mushroom also works very well
MoraSue
We had this a few weeks ago and now we are having it again. It is so easy and delicious! Thank you!

Going to try this tomorrow!
Sandy Struble
Thank so much for the recipe. I doubled the recipe and and it was gone! Came out perfect! Will be making this again.
Ruth Sopata
I just finished up dinner and I used this recipe. To describe it in one word...WOW. one of the best slow cooker beef roast recipes I have ever made!! I used sirloin tip roast meat. I served with red skin mashed potatoes, peas and dinner rolls. Finished off with strawberry pound cake.
DELICIOUS
The Country Cook
Hi Ruth! So happy this was a winner for ya! Thank you so much for coming back to let me know how it turned out. This is definitely a regular favorite in our house. Good idea about seasoning the meat too! 🙂 ~Brandie
cook beef tips
yeah its look delicious.
Jennifer
This is one of my favorite things to cook in my slow cooker. Actually I don't have all that many recipes that I make in my slow cooker so I am always on the lookout for good ones. Slow cookers sure do make life easier on those busy weeknights.
Thanks for sharing your recipe. I've been looking through some of your recent posts and am enjoying the recipes. Glad I found your blog today. I'm adding myself to your list of followers 🙂
Til Next Time,

Oh my goodness girl...I just love beef tips and gravy. Your recipe looks delicious. Thank you so much for sharing it with us here at Full Plate Thursday!
thecountrycook
Patsy - I really don't think it will be a problem. I will say that I haven't ever let it go that long but I just can't see how it would hurt. If your beef tips are fairly small to begin with, they will tend to shrink up quite a bit during the cooking process. You may just want to put in a tad more beef broth. Also, just give it a good stir when you get home, before serving. Hope this helps, let me know how it goes!
Patsyk
This was SO good. I don't like mushrooms or mushroom soup but you honestly can't tell at all. It just deepens the flavor. So, so good! Hubby and family raved over it!
Cakewhiz
I only make lentil soups in my slow cooker. I really need to broaden my horizons and try some meat dishes like this beef one you shared. It truly does look like a hearty meal!

Sounds and looks delicious!

I have a turkey breast, potatoes, carrots, and onions cooking away in my slow cooker, as I type:)
slow cookers are great for hearty winter meals.
Your beef tips look very good. We do use low sodium, everything, broth, soy sauce, soup, etc.
Tracy
Made the recipe exactly as written and I did thicken the gravy as you suggested. We all loved it. And as other people have said, you don't taste the mushroom as a separate ingredient. I hate mushrooms but LOVED this!!
Erika
I am making this tonight, I wanted to thicken up the gravy.. (after it has cooked in crock pot for 8 hours) when do I take out the beef tips?? In recipe it says to “add beef tips back in to crock pot” but I wasn’t sure when they come out! Thank you!

What a great meal! I am sure this is just so nice on a cold night
