Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef stew meat
- 10.75 oz can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- .88 oz packet brown gravy mix - some packets range to 1 oz, and that's still ok to use
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 small onion diced ( about 1/3 cup)
- 1-2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 Tablespoon water (you can also use 2TB of flour with 1/4 cup water)
- Optional:
- Egg noodles or mashed potatoes prepared.
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, gravy mix, beef broth, onion and garlic. Whisk together. It's ok if it's a little lumpy, while it's cooking in the slow cooker, the lumps will mix in.
- Place your stew meat into a 4 quart crockpot. Pour gravy mixture over beef and gently stir to combine. Cook covered on LOW for 7 hours. Once done cooking, remove beef with a slotted spoon and set aside. Stir in cornstarch/water mixture (this will thicken up the gravy.) Replace beef back into crockpot and continue cooking for 5 more minutes while gravy thickens.
- Serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Helpful Tips for Slow Cooker Beef Tips
- Cook the beef on LOW when possible. Seven hours gives the stew meat plenty of time to become tender.
- There's no need to brown the beef first when following the recipe as written.
- Don't worry if the gravy mixture looks a little lumpy when it goes into the slow cooker. It will smooth out as it cooks.
- For thicker gravy, stir in the cornstarch and water mixture at the end and let everything cook for another 5 minutes.
- Serve the beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
