Slow Cooker Beef Tips Recipe In a Rich, Savory Gravy Is the Ultimate Comfort Food (9 Ingredients) Beef Slow Cooker Low Sugar Recipes Budget Recipes Dinner

It is cold here and a bunch of snow just dumped on us. I was looking for a hearty, good-for-the-soul dinner and this beef tips in gravy recipe did the trick. The tender slow-cooked beef tips are very rich in flavor and easy to make with simple ingredients. 

To make this slow-cooker recipe you only need eight ingredients and some water. Here is your shopping list: lean beef stew meat, beef broth (you can use low-sodium beef broth), condensed French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, a packet of brown gravy mix, fresh garlic, ketchup and cornstarch. The meal cooks up on low heat in a slow cooker in about six to eight hours.

There's no need to buy a higher cut of beef like sirloin since you are cooking low and slow, so this is what I consider a budget recipe. Serve the tender chunks of beef for dinner on a bed of medium egg noodles or some mashed potatoes and you will want take a nap afterwards. Rolls or bread are highly recommended by my wife to sop up the delicious brown gravy.

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 to 8 hours
Total Time: 10 minutes plus 6 to 8 hours
Servings: 6

Ingredients

• 2 pounds lean beef stew meat
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 10.5 ounces (1 can) condensed French onion soup  
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• .87 ounces (1 envelope) brown gravy mix
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons water

Here's how to make it: 

1. Combine the beef broth, French onion soup, Worcestershire sauce, gravy mix, garlic and ketchup in the slow cooker. Whisk together.
2. Add the stew meat and stir to combine with the liquid.
3. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. (Cook on low to ensure the lean meat comes out tender. Unlike my old Rival slow cooker, my Ninja Multicooker does not give a soft boil on low. After about four hours, I switched to high for about 20 minutes to get good soft boil. This will help the gravy mix thicken and it enhances the flavor.)
4. About 15 minutes before serving, combine the cornstarch and water and add to the slow cooker while stirring. Serve over noodles or potatoes.
