How To Make Crock Pot No Peek Beef Tips

1. Optional: Brown the beef: If you have time, sear the cubed beef in a hot skillet for added flavor. Skip this step if you’re short on time.
2. Mix the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown gravy mix, cream of mushroom soup, onion soup mix, and beef broth until smooth.
3. Add beef to slow cooker: Place the beef in the Crock Pot and pour the sauce over it. Stir to coat all pieces evenly.
4. Cook the beef tips: Cover and cook on HIGH for 3½ hours or on LOW for 7 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender.
5. Serve: Spoon the beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Add mushrooms if using.

Recipe Tips

• Do I need to brown the beef first?
  Not at all—this recipe is still delicious even if you skip browning.
• Can I use wine instead of broth?
  Yes! Swap up to ½ cup of beef broth with red or white wine for deeper flavor.
• How to reduce the sodium:
  Use low-sodium broth, low-sodium soup mixes, or water in place of some broth.
• Can I add mushrooms?
  Absolutely. Baby portabellas add great texture and flavor, but they’re totally optional.
• What if I don’t have brown gravy mix?
  You can use any beef gravy packet you have on hand or make your own mix with cornstarch and bouillon.
