If you’re looking for an easy, filling and comforting meal the whole family will enjoy, look no further than this Crock Pot Beef Tips and Gravy. A longtime southern favorite, this meal is full of tender, fall apart chunks of beef, coated in a thick gravy, and served over rice.
How To Serve Crock Pot Beef Tips with Gravy
I like to throw some peas on the side or a small side salad to round out the meal. Beef Tips and Gravy is also delicious served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
An Easy Prep Recipe
This recipe is totally simple. There’s no need to precook anything and about 5 minutes of prep time is all you need. I like a super thick gravy so I do spend a few minutes at the end thickening the gravy. I follow Brandy’s (The Country Cook) method of thickening gravy for Crock Pot Beef Tips. She makes a roux using 2 tablespoons of butter and 3 heaping tablespoons of flour. Then 2 cups of the liquid from the crock pot is added. It makes a super thick and tasty gravy. You can always add extra cooking liquid if you want a thinner gravy.
Type Of Beef To Use
We don’t eat a ton of red meat, but this is one of my favorite beef recipes. It makes a hearty meal and doesn’t break the bank. I usually make it when chuck roast goes on sale. You can use other types of meat too- anything labeled beef tips or stew meat and round steak works as well.

Looked good so I made it,but why make gravy? I used mushroom soup with roasted garlic,I already had it and didn’t have to add garlic wich I wuold have done anyway. Used one 7oz. can of diced green chiles cuz I didn’t have a bell pepper, and one can of mushrooms,and 8.25 of beef broth as I felt larger ammount was too much,turns out 4.5-5 oz. would have been better along with 2 pkgs. of soup mix. Since I used rice,just cooked 2 cups in a large pot and mixed beef and liquid in,hence no gravy. Great receipie to mess with!
Going to try this. It looks so good.
Hope you enjoy it Sarah!
