Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Mushroom Beef Tips
Tender beef tips slow cooked in a rich mushroom gravy — only four ingredients and your slow cooker required.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces
- 8 ounces fresh mushrooms sliced
- 1 packet 1 ounce dry onion soup mix
- 1 can 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
Instructions
- Place the beef tips in the bottom of your slow cooker in an even layer.
- Add the sliced mushrooms on top of the beef.
- Sprinkle the onion soup mix evenly over the beef and mushrooms.
- Spoon the cream of mushroom soup over the top. Do not stir.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Stir everything together gently to combine the gravy with the beef and mushrooms.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Notes
- Do not add water or broth. The cream of mushroom soup provides all the liquid this recipe needs.
- Browning the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker is optional but adds deeper flavor.
- For a thicker gravy, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons cold water) and cook uncovered on high for 15 minutes at the end.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
