Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) beef stew meat
Liquid and Sauce Components:
- 1 (10.75-ounce / 305 grams) can cream of mushroom soup
- 2 (0.87-ounce / 25 grams) packets brown gravy mix
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) water
Aromatics:
- 1 small onion (chopped)
Instructions
- Blend beef, mushroom soup, and onion soup mix thoroughly in the slow cooker basin, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Pour beef broth and worcestershire sauce over the mixture, gently stirring to integrate all components without disrupting the initial blend.
- Cover and set slow cooker to low temperature, allowing the meat to tenderize and flavors to meld completely over 7-8 hours.
- When cooking completes, carefully stir the beef tips to break apart any larger pieces and create a rich, cohesive sauce.
- Prepare white rice separately, ensuring fluffy and light texture.
- Ladle the succulent beef tips and savory sauce directly over the steamed rice, creating an inviting and hearty meal presentation.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or green onions for added color and subtle herb notes.
Notes
- Opt for well-marbled chuck roast or stew meat to ensure tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef tips with rich flavor.
- Sear the meat briefly before adding to the slow cooker to develop a deeper, caramelized exterior that enhances overall taste.
- For a gluten-free version, use cornstarch instead of flour to thicken the sauce and ensure the dish is safe for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary during the last hour of cooking to boost the aromatic profile and create a more complex flavor profile.
