Description
No Peek Beef Tips are tender, slow-cooked pieces of beef simmered in a rich, savory mushroom gravy with onion soup and beef gravy mix. This easy comfort-food dinner requires minimal preparation and cooks without needing to lift the lid.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lb beef tips, stew meat, or sirloin tips, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet (1 oz) dry onion soup mix
- 1 packet (0.87–1 oz) beef gravy mix
- 1 cup beef broth or water
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms, optional
- ½ cup chopped onion, optional
Instructions
- Optional: Sear the beef tips in a hot skillet for 2–3 minutes per side to add extra flavor.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, beef gravy mix, beef broth, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
- Place the beef tips in a slow cooker. Add the optional mushrooms and onion if using.
- Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the beef.
- Cover the slow cooker securely and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for about 4 hours, without lifting the lid during cooking.
- When the beef is fork-tender, gently stir the mixture and check the consistency of the gravy.
- Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Notes
- The “no peek” rule helps maintain a steady cooking temperature and keeps moisture trapped inside the slow cooker.
- Chuck, stew meat, or sirloin tips can be used depending on your preference.
- For extra flavor, add mushrooms, onions, garlic, thyme, or rosemary.
- For an oven version, place everything in a covered oven-safe dish and bake at 300°F (150°C) for 2½–3 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
- For a lower-sodium version, use low-sodium cream of mushroom soup, gravy mix, and beef broth.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3–4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Nutrition values are estimates and may vary depending on the beef cut and brands of soup and gravy mix used.
