Ingredients
2 pounds beef stew meat or sirloin tips
1 packet onion soup mix
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10.5 ounces) beef consommé or beef broth
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (optional, for extra mushroom flavor)
Instructions
Place the beef stew meat in the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and beef consommé until smooth.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms, if using.
Pour the mixture evenly over the beef, making sure all the meat is well coated.
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
Stir gently before serving to coat the beef in the rich gravy.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these savory beef tips over:
Creamy mashed potatoes
Buttered egg noodles
Steamed white rice
Pair with buttered green beans, sweet corn, or a crisp garden salad. Don’t forget warm dinner rolls or thick slices of bread for soaking up every last bit of that delicious gravy.
Tips for Success
For an even thicker gravy, stir in a slurry made from 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
For extra depth of flavor, brown the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker.
Leftovers taste even better the next day and reheat beautifully.
Storage

Freeze for up to 3 months.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
