Crockpot Beef Tips And Gravy

These Crockpot Beef Tips and Gravy are an easy slow cooker dinner made with beef stew meat, sliced onion, brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Everything cooks together until the beef is tender and coated in a smooth, savory gravy.

You can add everything straight to the crockpot for a simple dump-and-go meal, or sear the beef first if you have a few extra minutes and want more flavor. Serve the beef tips and gravy over mashed potatoes or egg noodles for an easy comfort-food dinner.

How to Make Crockpot Beef Tips and Gravy

  1. Make the gravy mixture. Add the cream of mushroom soup to a bowl, then slowly whisk in the cold beef broth until mostly smooth. Stir in the brown gravy mix, cornstarch, and Worcestershire sauce. A few small lumps are fine.
  2. Add the beef and onion. Place the beef stew meat and sliced yellow onion directly into the crockpot.
  3. Pour in the gravy. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the beef and onions.
  4. Slow cook until tender. Cover and cook on high for 5–6 hours or low for 7–8 hours, until the beef is tender. Use tenderness as the real doneness test rather than relying only on the clock.
  5. Stir and serve. Give everything a good stir before serving so the beef is evenly coated in the gravy. Taste before adding any salt because the gravy mix, broth, and soup already provide plenty of seasoning.

Tips for the Best Crockpot Beef Tips and Gravy

Sear the beef if you have time. The recipe works as a dump-and-go meal, but browning the stew meat in a little oil over medium-high heat adds another layer of beef flavor before it goes into the crockpot.

Use cold ingredients when mixing the gravy. Stirring the cornstarch into the cold broth and soup mixture helps it blend in more smoothly before cooking.

Skip the extra salt at the beginning. Brown gravy mix, beef broth, and cream of mushroom soup already bring plenty of seasoning. Taste the finished gravy before deciding whether it needs anything else.

Cook for tenderness, not just time. The beef may be ready anywhere within the suggested range. Once the pieces are tender, the beef tips are done.

Either heat setting works. Cook on high when you need dinner sooner or use low for a longer, hands-off cook. Both methods give you tender beef and thick gravy.

What to Serve with Crockpot Beef Tips and Gravy

Crockpot beef tips and gravy are especially good over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, which both hold onto the thick gravy well.

You can also serve them with rice, biscuits, or a simple vegetable on the side for an easy comfort-food dinner.

How to Store and Reheat

Store leftover beef tips and gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm the beef and gravy gently on the stovetop over low heat until heated through.

  1. 5 stars
    This was so easy and the meat was so tender! This one will definitely be added to our meal rotations. As a note and maybe because everything I used was low sodium, I did have to add salt and I also added a little bit of red pepper flakes.

  2. Well it provides flavor along with thickening. You could swap it by using a combination of cornstarch, beef broth and a beef bouillon cube. Granted I haven’t tested this but those are the things the gravy packet simplifies if you’d like to omit it.
