Slow Cooker Beef Tips & Gravy is a classic comfort food dish—tender chunks of beef in a rich, flavorful gravy, perfect over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles. It’s essentially “set it and forget it” deliciousness.
🥘 Ingredients:
- 2–3 lbs beef stew meat (chuck roast cut into cubes works)
- 1 packet brown gravy mix or 1/4 cup flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional: mushrooms, carrots, or potatoes
🔥 Instructions:
- Prep beef
- Season beef with salt and pepper.
- Optional: sear in a skillet for extra flavor (not required).
- Add to slow cooker
- Place beef, onion, garlic, and optional veggies in the crockpot.
- Mix gravy
- Combine gravy mix with beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
- Pour over beef.
- Cook
- Low: 6–8 hours
- High: 3–4 hours
- Finish
- Beef should be tender and gravy thick.
- Adjust seasoning to taste.
🍽️ How to Serve:
- Over mashed potatoes
- Over egg noodles
- With a side of green beans or dinner rolls
💡 Tips:
- For thicker gravy, stir in a little cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) near the end.
- Using stew meat with some fat makes the gravy richer.
- Add a splash of red wine for extra depth of flavor.
If you want, I can give a shortcut 3-ingredient version that’s even faster and still super tender 😄
