Slow Cooker Beef Tips with Cream Gravy: This easy slow cooker beef tips recipe is the kind of meal you’ll want to make again and again, especially on nights when you need something filling but don’t want to fuss over the stove. Using cubed ranch steak makes prep quick and simple, and with just three ingredients, you get a rich, creamy gravy that tastes like it took a lot more work than it really did. It’s a true Midwestern-style comfort dinner — simple, filling, and perfect for busy weekends when you’re craving soft beef and a gravy that’s just begging to be poured over potatoes or noodles.
Spoon these beef tips over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or fluffy white rice so nothing goes to waste and every drop of gravy gets used. To balance the meal, add a simple green veggie like steamed green beans, peas, or roasted broccoli. If you want to make it feel like a full comfort-food dinner, a warm biscuit or a slice of crusty bread goes perfectly on the side.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 pounds cubed ranch steak
- 1 packet dry brown gravy mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
Slow Cooker Beef Tips with Cream Gravy: Directions
- Add the beef. Place the cubed ranch steak into the slow cooker. Spread the pieces out into one even layer across the bottom so the meat cooks evenly and every piece gets covered in sauce.
- Add the soup and gravy mix. Spoon the condensed cream of mushroom soup right over the top of the beef, spreading it out so it covers most of the meat. Then sprinkle the dry brown gravy mix evenly over everything, making sure it’s not all bunched up in one spot.
- Cover and cook. Put the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. You’ll know it’s ready when the beef is soft and tender, and the sauce is hot and bubbling around the edges.
- Stir and serve. Take the lid off and stir everything together well, mixing the soup and gravy mix into one smooth, creamy sauce. Give it a taste to check the flavor, then serve it hot right away, spooned over your favorite side dish.
