Ingredients
Scale
Beef Tips
- 1 lb stew meat
- 1 packet Lipton onion soup mix (about 1.25 oz)
- 1 packet brown gravy mix (about 1 oz)
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 cup water
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Noodles
- 8 oz egg noodles
Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Tips: In a slow cooker, combine the stew meat, Lipton onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, beef broth, and water. Stir everything well to mix the seasoning evenly with the liquids and meat.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing the beef to become tender and the gravy to thicken to a rich consistency.
- Cook the Noodles: About 20 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles thoroughly and set aside.
- Combine and Serve: Season the beef tips with salt and pepper to your taste. Serve the tender beef and gravy over the cooked egg noodles. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, you can mix an additional tablespoon of brown gravy mix with a small amount of water and stir it into the slow cooker 30 minutes before serving.
- Leftover beef tips and gravy can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
- You can substitute stew meat with beef chuck roast cut into chunks if you prefer.
- Adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce can deepen the flavor if desired.
- If you want to make this recipe gluten free, use gluten-free gravy mix and substitute the egg noodles with gluten-free pasta.
