• Without actually looking, I’ll confess that cooking this dish in a slow cooker does make it simpler to resist the temptation to check on its progress.

• Following a brief sauté on the stovetop, combine the beef and gravy ingredients in your preferred slow cooker or crock pot arrangement. Return hours later to a succulent beef dinner that still simmers with savory aromas.
• Here are six essential ingredients and straightforward seasoning suggestions that will bring your culinary creations to life: Using a judicious blend of condensed cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix, I expertly infuse the beef with an abundance of rich, savory flavors.

To prepare this effortless no-peek beef tips recipe, you’ll require approximately six essential components. I’ve included some notes below.

• – Choose a good stew beef. My favorite is chuck roast. For a rich and tender stew, consider using top round steak (London Broil), short ribs, or the fattier “point cut” of brisket. For a tender and flavorful stir-fry, you’ll want to cut the beef into uniform 1-inch cubes or purchase them pre-cubed from your local market.
• A blend of aromatic seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• – For high-heat searing, consider using a mild-flavored oil with a moderate smoke point, such as avocado or canola oil. 
• Select your go-to brand for a savory and satisfying beefy onion soup mix experience.
• Using a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup simplifies the cooking process and provides a rich, savory flavor to your dish.
• While chicken broth can be used as a substitute, the resulting flavor will be less robust.

The key to success lies in the unyielding commitment to non-interference: No peeking! As you place the beef tips and ingredients into the slow cooker, make every effort to resist the temptation of lifting the lid until the specified cooking time has elapsed. This trust-building activity truly surpasses expectations in terms of flavor and effectiveness.

Here are the straightforward steps, allowing you to quickly get started.

• The secret to perfectly seared beef lies in this crucial step? Dependent on the size of your cooking vessel, you might need to cook the beef in two separate batches to ensure even browning. As the final batch of browned beef is cooked, transfer the now perfectly caramelized beef to the slow cooker to begin its journey in tenderizing bliss?
• Here’s a revised version: The key to tender, succulent slow-cooked beef tips is a crucial reminder: always brown them before simmering. Don’t surrender to the urge to lift the lid and take a sneak peek at the tantalizing aromas wafting up from beneath the surface. The steam that’s carefully trapped within the meat during cooking is precisely what gives it an unforgettably tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
• To add an extra dimension of depth, consider swapping out 1 cup of the beef broth for a dry red wine such as Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon.
• To elevate the richness of your sauce, add a spoonful of heavy cream or a dollop of softened cream cheese towards the end of the cooking process after turning off the slow cooker. 

I savor the tender flavor of my slow-cooked beef tips served atop a rich canvas of creamy mashed potatoes, smothered in savory mushroom gravy that’s been lovingly spooned on top. Is there anything cozier than snuggling up with a warm cup of cocoa and a good book on a frigid winter’s night? Combining the tender beef tips with egg noodles creates a satisfying dinner reminiscent of beef stroganoff, while serving it over rice or creamy risotto offers equally enticing alternatives. Consider pairing this dish with a side of asparagus or roasted carrots to add a pop of colour and a touch of earthy sweetness, alongside beer bread or biscuits perfectly suited for mopping up every last drop of that delectable gravy.

• Store any leftover beef tips and gravy in airtight containers and refrigerate for up to four days.  
• Warming the beef and sauce to a consistent temperature, either in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave, ensures they’re piping hot from start to finish.
• Store any leftovers in airtight freezer bags or containers, and keep them frozen for up to two months. Before reheating and serving, thaw the beef in the refrigerator to ensure food safety and optimal flavor.
