Ingredients

For the Beef Tips:

2 pounds beef stew meat (chuck roast, cut into 1.5-inch cubes)
1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (1 oz) packet dry onion soup mix
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon black pepper

For Serving:

Cooked white or brown rice
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Combine Ingredients: Place the beef stew meat in the bowl of your slow cooker. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, dry onion soup mix, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, tomato paste, and black pepper until well combined.
Slow Cook: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the beef tips in the slow cooker and stir to coat all the pieces. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef is extremely tender.
Thicken the Gravy (Optional): For a thicker gravy, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking, allowing the sauce to bubble and thicken.
Serve and Enjoy: When the beef is tender, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the beef tips and generous amounts of gravy over a bed of fluffy cooked rice, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
