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!Easy Crock Pot Beef Tips and Gravy served over rice. Recipe from The Country Cook.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
beef chuck roast
lemon pepper seasoning
dry onion soup mix
cream of mushroom soup (lower sodium)
beef broth (low sodium)
butter
flourchuck roast, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, lemon pepper seasoning, onion soup mixNote: 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:

In your 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.)

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”.)

Then 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.

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.

Enjoy!

    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.

      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. 🙂
