Steak Tips Over Rice (and the significance of a doughnut shop)
Hang on to your hats for the mother of all tangents. You can bypass it to the recipe below if you like 
.
We just got back from a trip to Nashville with the kids. We had a great weekend, visiting the Nashville Zoo and staying overnight with my Cousin Cindy’s family. My kids had a ball playing with their daughter Claire and gallivanting around the Zoo where we picnicked and saw everything from meerkats to giraffes. It was a relaxing and fun weekend and I’m so glad we got to do it.
This got me thinking about another trip, the first vacation we ever went on when I was a little girl. My daddy had a brand new truck, a 1979 silver Chevy Silverado, with a camper shell on back. He customized it with a special air horn that played “Dixieland” when you pressed this little black button under the dash and us kids thought that was really something.
I remember so many details about that trip, it is hard to believe its been over thirty years ago. What is funny is that I remember every single meal we ate out while we were gone, all three of them. You see, at home we didn’t eat out. Mama always cooked every meal. Even on this trip we stayed at those little roadside hotels where you left a deposit and they gave you a bag of pots and pans to use. Mama brought groceries and a cooler.
We drove all night to get there, Mama and Daddy sitting in the front and my brother, sister and myself riding in the back of the truck, an air mattress squeezed in for comfort. It seemed like we stayed up all night but it was likely only until ten or eleven. We laughed and told stories and my sister put all three of our inflatable swimming rings on and pretended she was a hula girl. It was so funny to us then that I still laugh now just thinking about it. My brother told us silly jokes and the giddy excitement of the trip had everyone in fits until we finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
In the morning we took turns climbing through the window to the cab so Mama could get us all dressed and after that was done we pulled over and stopped at a gas station for breakfast. Daddy let us pick out a snack cake, any one we wanted. It was the first time I had ever had raspberry zingers (they are kind of like a twinkie) and I got two of them in my package and to this day I think that was the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever ate.
Another morning during that trip we ate at a restaurant that put a smiley face on your pancake with whipped cream -cherries for eyes and a sprinkled trail of chocolate chips for the mouth. I swear I remember every bite of that pancake.
We spent a few days in Disney World (eating all of our meals at the hotel) and from there drove on to Daytona so we could see the ocean for the first time. I had a lime green swimsuit with a big yellow flower on the front and my head hurt when Mama made my ponytails that morning because I already had a red stripe sunburned into my part. I hardly slept the night before. It had been dark when we arrived but i could hear the ocean so loud outside the window and I kept trying to imagine how it made so much noise.
I was so proud to be playing in the waves as I danced in and out of the receding waters and staked my claim on the biggest sandbox I had ever seen.
That trip to a young child wasn’t like they are to adults, where they seem to pass by so quickly it feels you are arriving back home the day after you left. For me, that trip seemed to go on forever, each day filled with new wonders and excitement. On the long drive home, the last day, Daddy pulled into a doughnut shop for breakfast. It was a national chain and I’d never been to one because we didn’t have them in Alabama at the time. We went in and our eyes were met with cases and cases of brightly iced doughnuts, flavors and sprinkles of all kinds. He let us pick out whichever one we wanted and I got one with pink icing and rainbow sprinkles. I have no idea what my brother or sister or anyone else got, I was far too enthralled with my prize.
The icing even tasted like strawberries.
We still don’t have this doughnut chain where I am but I spotted one in Nashville this past weekend and told my husband I wanted to stop there on the way home and let the kids go in. We looked it up and found directions to the one nearest my cousin’s house and set off, even though we had eaten a full breakfast courtesy of their hospitality. We weren’t going because we were hungry for food anyway, I wanted to share this experience with my own kids.
As we were pulling in, I started telling them the story about how I ate there when I was a little girl and all about my doughnut with the pink icing and rainbow sprinkles and how it was so special because we didn’t get to just go to a doughnut shop, we didn’t have money for things like that. Katy looked as if she heard “blah blah blah doughnut with pink icing, blah blah blah” and Brady looked at me as if to say “It’s a doughnut Ma, get a grip”.
They have no idea what it is like for a simple trip to a doughnut shop to be so special that you remember the colors of the sprinkles and the flavor of the icing three decades later.
They’re used to chicken nugget kids meals out and pantries filled to the brim, brand name shoes and $40 video games. They haven’t a clue what its like to be handed a pink iced doughnut and feel as if you’ve been given the tiara, magic wand, and pixie dust all at the same time.
So here I am, walking my kids into a doughnut shop and feeling gratitude for everything my parents have ever done for us. For how hard they worked and for how insistent they were on us doing well in school. For my dad holding down three jobs so Mama could stay home and look after us rather than having to leave us in daycare or with a sitter. For them being at every school event we ever had and making it a point to brag on each report card we brought home.
I look at the case and there they are, pink iced doughnuts with rainbow sprinkles, and I can almost feel what it was like for my mother and father to be able to give us such a treat that day.
And now, thanks to them, my kids are oblivious to that kind of life.
And I’m pretty grateful for that, too.
~takes a deep breath~
Alright, lets get to cooking.
This is one of my husband’s favorite meals and it is shamefully easy and incredibly cheap. You see, my “steak tips” over gravy is nothing more than clearanced stew meat slow cooked all day inthe crock pot. Stew meat is easy to find on clearance. I usually pick up a few trays of it every few weeks and freeze it that day for this meal. Normally I use a tray half this size but I made a little extra today. Sometimes I do this with a roast as well, cutting it up into smaller pieces similar to how stew meat is cut.
A slow cooker is invaluable when it comes to cooking inexpensive cuts of meat. Meat that normally would yield tough results becomes fall apart tender through this method of cooking. The important thing to note is that tough meat needs fat in order to become tender. This is why roasts cooked in water are tougher than those cooked in gravy. You only need one can, even if you are making an entire roast, as it melds with the meat juices as they cook out as well and produce plenty of liquid.
Place “steak tips” in crock pot and cover with one can of beef gravy. I often pop these suckers in frozen and just break them up a bit as they thaw and begin to cook. You don’t have to use beef gravy, you can use a packet of brown gravy mix, prepared according to package directions, and that will be fine, too.
Cook that on low all day for seven to eight hours or on high for three to four. That is the general cooking time for all crock pot meals in case you wanted to know .
Prepare rice according to package directions and spoon out steak tips and gravy to serve!

Christy…I can not wait to try this. It looks so good.
This story brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for sharing it, and this is one of those recipes that I see and think “Now why didn’t I think of that?”. It sounds soo good! I am sure I will be trying it soon! awwwwwwwwwww and I seen my quote from facebook. You’re too sweet! have a great day! Ticha
I have been doing this for quite awhile. To kick it up a notch put a package of dry Lipton Onion soup in the mixture. Have a great day.
I was so touched by your story. It is amazing what we remember!
Looking forward to trying it!
This is the first recipe I made from your cookbook! Husband hunts, and we have most of our venison ground, and some made into stew meat. We’ll be having more cut into stew meat going forward because of this recipe. We’ve got a new preacher at church, and of course will be inviting him and his wife home to eat with us one Sunday. I’ve already decided this is on the menu.
OK, so technically, your cookbook recipe is beef broth & the onion soup mix over the meat in the crockpot. Even though it differs, it’s still great. My childhood memory is getting grape slushes at Sonic where you drive up to the little speaker boxes and order … of course they’re still all over the place today. I clearly remember getting little plastic animal figurines that would fit in the palm of your hand along with the slush, and mine was a little mouse. I’m pretty sure this was before Happy Meals, of course now you get a toy with every kid’s meal.
Oh Christy I know the sound of that horn. My parents had one also and it was the coolest thing back in the day..
Yum Yum one of my favorite dinners. I forget about the crock pot so I cook mine in a pressure cooker for 15 min with a can of french onion soup. I will try the brown gravy next time.
I am glad you enjoyed your trip to Nashville. I am jealous!!!
Throw some mushrooms in there too
Wow! I am so touched by your story. That brought back so many memories of the summer trips my parents would scrimp and save all year to take us on. I too am grateful my kids are oblivious. I am going to make this recipe tomorrow and tell them stories about my dad. He would have loved this recipe! Thanks Christy!
Aww… what a sweet story! I remember going out to eat on trips so well, too, because we never did it at home either. We didn’t really have vacations. Just trips to visit family. I remember the Hardee’s in Wetumpka and the Arby’s in Montgomery! We stopped at a small doughnut shop around Birmingham one time and I remember getting creme-filled spirals that probably weren’t really that good, but were so exciting to me at the time! There was something so novel about eating food from paper and cardboard! LOL!
Thanks for the recipe! It looks good and simple. My parents and I have gone in on part of a cow a couple of times. I did it the first time and got an assortment of meat. My mother was in charge the second time and got mostly hamburger! I was so disappointed. No stew meat! Now we have a deep freeze so if I do it again, I’ll probably get the whole quarter to myself and have it split up into all the parts.
I love ALL your stories.
Sounds good. I often buy chuck roast on sale and will cut them up into chunks for stew, soup and now your beef tips. I will threw in a pkg. of Lipton beefy onion soup because hubby loves onions.
Oh how I remember those few precious family vacations. I remember occasionally stopping at gas stations and being allowed to pick out one soda….it was from one of those large meal chest-type coolers that had the sliding door on the top and the bottle-cap opener on the front. Oh what a hard decision it was to choose from all those bottles. After making our choices and getting back in the backseat of the car, I remember savoring each and every delicious swallow. A soft drink of any type was a treat as we only had milk, juice and tap water at home. If someone in the house had a tummy ache, mom would buy one, only one, 6 oz bottle of either 7-up or coca cola and that was only for whoever had the tummy ache!
Thanks for the memories.
Christy, I had tears filling my eyes reading your story! Although we have the money, I try to make things like McDonalds, donuts and vacations special for my kids just like they were for me. My 4-year-old daughter was shocked the other day when she got a toy (Happy Meal toy) just like her friend at school. Little did she know that most kids have tons of these trinkets at home. To her it was so special that she’s been carrying it around in her backpack–so proud of it.
Thanks for reminding me why family time at home makes little things so much more special!
Oh and by the way–love Steak Tips–that’ll be our Crockpot Monday meal for next week!
Such a wonderful story about your trip. As a mother who would appreciate knowing my child felt so much gratitude I sincerely hope your parents are aware of these feelings you expressed in your post.
Keep up the recipes and showing that good cooking does not have to be real expensive.
Sweet story Christy! Kids today have had so much and most of it so instantly that they have no idea what it is to experience this kinds of simple things. Sad, really.
Enjoyed the recipe, and loved the story! We also had a camper on our pickup truck when I was young. We took many a glorious vacation and saw wonderful things. There was a refrigerator in it, a two burner stove, and cabinets. We ate practically every meal in there, and never really thought much about it . . that’s just the way it was. I remember helping Mom fix Dad’s “topless” sandwiches and crawling through the window to take them to him, along with some pickles of course LOL. He would one time a trip, usually stop at a Stucky’s, where we were allowed to get a pecan roll!!! YUM!!! What a treat, and still my favorite candy! The first time I stayed in a motel, was on my honeymoon — when I was 18 years old. He thought it wasn’t a very nice place, but I loved everything about it!!! It’s true, we spoil our kids, but so happy that we can. Thanks for the wonderful memories.
Hey Christy…
My Daddy loved beef tips over rice…. I know he would have really enjoyed this recipe. Truth is…. Daddy was a Meat and Potatoes kind of guy. He never had much rice growing up…. born in 1917,moved to California from the East Coast as a child…. but when he was in the Army… he was stationed in Arkansas and that is where he first experienced Beans over rice!! He loved that dish until the day he passed away.
Thanks for this recipe Christy… as always…
Blessings to you and your family.
Linda in Louisiana
Are you sure you aren’t my long lost sister? This story described my family exacting! Even the mattress in the back of the truck! Maybe its because I grew up in Limestone Co. too?! I’m so glad I’ve found this blog. Its like a walk down memory lane.
Reading this made me smile as the memories flooded. I remember one vacation where my parents took us to Colorado and Wyoming. We stayed at Estes Park and I had potato donuts and dill pickle ice cream. I had not thought about that in years. Thank you for bringing back the memories
Awe Christy, you went and made me cry. I lost my daddy when I was 15 yrs old and my momma got very,very depressed so I pretty much lost both my parent at the young age of 15 we never had a vacation I didn’t know it then but daddy was dieing of cancer since I was 10 or so. To this day I have never seen the ocean I’m now 43 but I’m thankful for all my parents gave up so we could have them small (life time) special treats.
Thanks for the great memories
Mellany
I think this recipe will make “one Texan” very satisfied!!!
Loved the story…
Frankie
You are an excellent story-teller Christy. I love taking walks down your “memory lane”.
It always makes me think of something from my own life.
And the “Grass is greener” quote – that is too funny because we were saying almost the same thing the other day. LOL!
We do something similar, but we just buy the cans of roast beef… This looks so much better!
I so enjoyed your story…it took me back to my travels with my parents. There was always a loaf of bread and a pack of bologna while we were on the road. One time Daddy had this canister type burner..,it was shaped like an oatmeal box….with a screw lid on the side of it…and when you took the top lid off… it had a metal grate on top that folded out in order to accomodate the ‘pan’ that the lid turned into. It also had a …for lack of a better word…a slide that Daddy would pump in and out forcing air into the gas compartment. I remember Daddy saying you had to put “white gas” in it….I spect kerosene. On that trip Mama had packed chili beans too and they were so good!!!! Most of the time though…Mama just laid a towel over her lap and she would make sandwiches as we went down the road and hand them into the back seat to my sister, brother and me….we thought they were grand too…as we never had sandwich meat to eat at home….as Mama always cooked our meals. Oh the great memories……………..
Christy,
I absolutely love your attitude. It’s so positive and I always feel better about things after reading your blog. Thanks so much and please keep up the good work.
Pat
Christy — Thanks so much for that great story. It sent me down my own memory lane. When I was little my dad went to Rotary on Thursday nights, so in celebration of not having to cook supper my mom would maybe once a month or so take my brother and I to the newly opened Cracker Barrel in our hometown of Manchester, Tennessee. I believe this was one of the very first Cracker Barrels opened. It sold gas out front and inside the menu included two items that I thought were the height of sophistication: Homemade peanut butter with crackers and slices of hoop cheddar cheese with crackers. It was always hard to choose!
Your strawberry pink donut with sprinkles story was sooooo touching…brought a little tear to my eye! My husband has a camper story that is similar. A cross country trip to CA and him and his brother sleeping in the top of it.
That recipe almost sounds too easy! I’ve got to try it sometime!
Have a great evening!☺
Wow! Talk about memories. I remember going to Yellowstone when I was four. My folks had a huge Black Packard (now you know how old this story is…) and while they slept in a tent, I slept on the ledge of the back window. It was sooooo big and very roomy for a 4 year old. Looking at the stars, etc. Watching for Bears. Unfortunately now Yellowstone is so crowded that it isn’t the same anymore. Thanks for reminding us of those great times as kids.
Yes, Christy brought back great memories of road trips with my mom and dad, too. My dad worked at various jobs in the fifties, and one he had was building a high line (electrical) across Wyoming. We lived in Shoshoni and went to Yellowstone a few times. I remember the bears coming to our car, and my mother was screaming, “Roll your window up!” and Dad was laughing at her until one came to his side of the car, and boy, did he roll up that window fast! My brother and I could wander around just a short distance from the car, and we found wild strawberries growing. What a find for two little kids! We picked every one we could find and went running back to our picnic with a great dessert, we thought. There were only a few, because we ate most of them! Margaret, I laughed at you sleeping over the back seat of your car, because I used to do that, too, I was told. Thanks for the memory!
You tell the best stories Christy, now I know what I can make for dinner one night this week, except I will serve mine over egg noodles, this kind of reminds me of the sirloin tips and noodles they used to have at Denny’s when I was little, that was a treat for us whenever we traveled, and Mom and I both ordered the same thing. We also didnt have a lot of money (who has that when you are raising nine kids?) but Mom and Dad made sure to save up for vacations and we always got to go to interesting places. Dont stop tellin your stories. We all love em
What a wonderful trip.
Thanks for sharing.
We only went away twice on car trips when I was a kid, but my mum cooked the food as well! She brought her own cooking items with her; her electrical pot and I remember making instant noodles in it!
But like you I remember all the little things that made such an impression of you as a child. I remember pulling over to the little store on the side of the road and being able to buy lollies! I was never bought lollies when we were home. And my brother had an ice cream with chocolate on the outside. And I remember we hit a bird with the car!
Christy I read this post again and reading it reminded me of this exact little trip away. I was remembering it in my mind as I read. We stayed in a caravan park, trailers if you’re not familiar with the term caravan. It was a huge novelty for me as the caravans had bunk beds. I remember going into the wrong caravan but seeing some little toys out the front before I went and thinking “oh so nice someone has toys for me to play with” and in I walk onto another family! We never ate out much. Even when the yearly show (ie carnival) came to my city I went once and once only as a child, and we took lunch. I think my mum fried chicken and made sandwiches. I think I talked about the show for the next year to all my friends…”oh well at the Royal Show I saw/did…….”
We hardly ever ate out but now I’m always eating out and don’t even give it a second thought. But you know I am lucky. I went from getting home hair cuts (bad hair days for years on end!) and having someone else’s old clothes to now having seen so much of the world and really having the opportunities to really do anything that I want.
Great story Christy.. I see that many of us have similar ones. We only went on one vacation.. to Colorado in my dads’ brand new 68 Oldsmobile 442.. a muscle car. My mom packed a cooler and we had sandwiches all the way there and back. I got car sick and threw up all over the back floorboard.
When we got back my mom wrote a letter to “Hints With Heloise” about it with a tip of how to get the smell out..I still remember it being published in the paper. In the motel, I remember the lights being turned on in the middle of the night.. apparently my brother was dreaming of mountain climbing and was trying to scale “Mount Motel Wall”.
We never went out to eat.. ever. Both my parents grew up dirt poor. My dad’s family once lived in a cave because they didn’t have any money. Neither of them would splurge on restaurants because they grew up in the depression. Thanks for all the stories and memories.. I had not thought about that trip in years!
( sorry I am new to commenting here and I think I stuck it in the wrong spot before) hehehe Here is my post:

Christy,
You have a gift with words. You recount things in a way that people reading your words feel as if they are right there experiencing things with you. I can totally relate to your story. It brings back good memories of my childhood too. Thanks for sharing and I always look forward to your recipes!
Thank you for the memories, thank you for sharing your story with us….and I also look forward to your recipes, they are all great…
I love your stories. For my beef tips and rice, I use stew meat or roast and add a can of cream of mushroom soup with about 1/2 can of water. Cook in the crockpot and have a delicious meal ready in minutes when I come home from work.
gGuess what’s on the menu for my house tomorrow! I just happen to already have the ingredients, so, it’s on for tomorrow! Can’t wait!!
What a wonderful story Christy. Reminds me a bit of my childhood. I remember our yearly trip to the drive-in to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There was a McDonald’s next door and we’d go get supper from there. That was something I looked forward to every summer. Sadly when Disney started releasing movies on VHS they quit releasing movies to the theaters and that killed that tradition. It also reminded me of when we would stop and get breakfast from the doughnut shop on the days my school Christmas plays were. I loved getting Martinelli apple juice in the glass bottles that were shaped like apples. Even now at age 28 my face lights up when I see one from all the memories.
We’re actually having steak tips over rice for supper tonight. They’re called beef tips in our house but it’s the same recipe.
Christy-I enjoyed your story so much. It almost made me cry and brought to mind something I hadn’t thought about in years. Mom and Dad were hardworking but poor first generation Americans. They struggled to keep going but, it was hard. Once Mom was invited to visitwith her at the family cabin “in the country”. We were city people and although it was only two days and one night-it was heaven to my sister and me. I was probably seven years old and remember the huge rocks and towering trees and being able to run anywhere on the property. Thanks for the memories.
Steak tips will be on my menu next week.
Love your blog and I’m only Southern in attitude.
Your Yankee friend,
Ann Marie
Sorry-I deleted a word. The cabin belonged to Mom’s friend.
We tried it tonight and it was just as good as those $3.00 a can roast beefs I used to buy. I did what you said about buying the meat discounted and you are so right about the crock pot! I loved the meal!
Oh by the way, I found a crockpot in my cabinets, I didn’t even remember that I had! We got it 4 years ago back when Hamburger Helper was my specialty. I had no clue how to use it. Its been used once or twice by someone else.
I still want a bigger one its only 2.75 Qts. I showed DH the pic of yours… I told him it would be a great easter/bday/Mothers day present.
I made this for dinner last night and it was a huge hit! I still cannot believe how easy it was and how tender the meat turned out!!! DELICIOUS!
[...] 7, 2009 by crystalmaness Several days ago I saw this post on SouthernPlate.com (click here) for steak tips over rice. Well, I love steak tips but have never cooked them. I’ve never [...]
I made this last night. Oh My Gosh! It was go good, even the kids loved it, now that is amazing!
We too had a camper with a crawl thru window! I loved our camping trips!
Thanks for the great recipes! Everything I have tried so far has been wonderful.
Made the taco pizza. They lovvvvvvvvved it. Going to make the chocolate frosting tomorrow. Looking through recipes for dinner today also.
Thank you so much for that story! It brought tears to my eyes. I grew up the same way and I am so blessed that my children won’t have to. Thank you again! *tear*
I just fixed this for my family and dumped some canned mushrooms and about a tablespoon of corvoisier cooked it on high for about 4 hours and the meat turned out tender and delicious, even the one who only likes to eat the part of the chicken called the nugget liked it. Thanks for this cheap and delicious recipe.
It’s raining here in Florida today so I decided to make this for dinner today.
This is the first time I have ever commented on a recipe, but this one is so easy and good I just had to say something. I had a pkg. of reduced priced stew meat I was racking my brain on what to do with. I knew I wanted to cook it in the crock pot so the meat would be tender. Then I stumbled across this recipe and thought…this is toooo easy. Will it really be that good? Well, I fixed it for supper tonight and asked by sister and brother-in-law over (both are pretty picky eaters – pretty dull palates). Girlfriend, this was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!! My sister had 2 helpings and my brother-in-law had THREE! He even said this was the best beef tips he’d ever had. That is enormous coming from him. I still cannot believe how something with only 2 ingredients could be soooo good. My sister commented that she now has another dish she can add to her very limited repertiore. We were all amazed how tender the meat was and the wonderful flavor it had. I started to make egg noodles to serve it over (which would be another wonderful way to serve it), but opted to follow the recipe as is. I cannot stop praising this recipe enough, not to mention the versitility of it (add veggies and you get beef stew or mushrooms and sour cream for beef stroganoff and on and on). Sorry to be so wordy, but this is toooo good not to expound on. This was the first of many, many more times I’ll be making this recipe. Everyone needs to try it. You WILL be amazed. Thanks so much for such wonderful down to earth, easy and delicious recipes you give us. Your website is now on my favorites list and I check it out daily. Going to make your chicken stew next week. Can hardly wait!!!! Keep those wonderful recipes coming!!!
I made this last week for my family. I couldn’t wait to try it over rice. Next time my family wants it over mashed taters so I may try it with texas toast/taters/meat w/gravy over it. Me I loved the rice and will enjoy it everytime that way. I’m the only rice fan in my home.
I didn’t have canned gravy so I used “Tony Chachere’s) Creole Brown gravy mix and made that up and put in. The gravy is very good and easy to make I purchase it at the Bass Pro Shops here in Vegas.
Thanks so much for sharing your recipes and family history with us. I’m am really enjoying this site!
I like to pour beef tips over noodles. Yummy!!!!!
put this in the crock pot this morning ….. my whole house smells heavenly!!!!! can’t wait to taste!!!!
