Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef tips or stew meat
Soups and Liquid Base:
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) red wine (optional)
Garnish:
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Assemble a robust Dutch oven or deep baking vessel, positioning the tender beef morsels as the foundational layer.
- Whisk together the umami-rich onion soup powder, velvety mushroom concentrate, hearty beef stock, and robust red wine until a harmonious liquid emerges.
- Lavishly cascade the aromatic liquid over the beef, meticulously ensuring each morsel is thoroughly enrobed in the savory mixture.
- Seal the container completely with a snug-fitting lid or aluminum barrier, preventing any moisture escape during slow cooking.
- Position the sealed vessel into a precisely calibrated 300°F oven, committing to an uninterrupted culinary transformation over three meditative hours.
- Resist all temptation to lift the lid or peek inside during the cooking duration, allowing the low, steady heat to gently tenderize and intensify the meat’s flavor profile.
- After the designated cooking time, extract the vessel and permit the dish to rest quietly for 10 minutes, allowing internal juices to redistribute and flavors to harmonize.
- Conclude the preparation by delicately garnishing with freshly chopped parsley, adding a vibrant herbal accent to the rich, deeply developed dish.
Notes
- Opt for well-marbled beef cuts like chuck roast or sirloin tips to ensure maximum tenderness and rich flavor during slow cooking.
- Reduce sodium by selecting low-sodium soup mixes and broth, which helps control salt intake without sacrificing taste.
- Transform this classic dish into a gluten-free version by using gluten-free cream of mushroom soup and checking soup mix ingredients carefully.
- Enhance meal prep by preparing the beef tips a day ahead, as the flavors deepen and develop more complexity when allowed to rest overnight in the refrigerator.
