My “steak tips” over rice is a delicious slow cooker recipe cooked all day in the crock pot to create tender juicy meat for a flavorful dinner.
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 stew meat slow cooked all day in the 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. 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.

How to Make Steak Tips over Rice:
Place “steak tips” in crock pot.
**If you have frozen meat you can just put the meat in the slow cooker and break them up a bit as they begin to cook.
Cover with one can of beef gravy.
**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. If you would like a recipe for steak with homemade gravy there is one right here.
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 🙂

I do the exact same thing with mushroom gravy over noodles. Ummm…..I’m getting hungry.
I make this all the time when the weather starts getting colder. Just seems to warm ya from the inside out. I use your recipe plus I add a package of Lipton Onion Soup Mix and a large can of sliced mushrooms. the hubby LOVES mushrooms. =)
Just wondering how much stew beef you used (pounds) and how many people it fed b/c I’m planning to make this recipe for 8 adults and several children and wanted to know how much to adapt it. If I do use more stew meat do you think I would still only need one can of gravy? Thanks for your help and time in answering! =)
I make at LEAST 3 pounds of meat for my family of 5 (4 adults and one child) and there are really not many leftovers. Maybe enough for a child size portion. The meat really cookes down a lot in the slow cooker.I would definitely use 2 cans of gravy to the 6 pounds you may need for that big of a group.Try adding s package of lipton onion soup mix to the slow cooker as well. And a little pepper. So yummy!
This has been one of my favorite main dishes for years!
I am so glad to hear you like this one Debbie!!! I hope you are having a great day!!
Christy, I love my crock pot too. This sounds yummy and too easy. Was the donut chain Shipley’s by chance? It may be heresy, but I prefer them to a Krispy Kreme. Not that I would turn those down either, lol. Your vacation memory reminded me of my own. My family rarely took them so the 2 or 3 we did take stand out. A trip to ST Louis when I had just turned 9 is a great memory. The meals out were treat and so was staying in a motel. The stand out meal for me was breakfast in a German restaurant. We had sour cream waffles and they were amazing. We went to the zoo and had such fun. That trip was 40 years ago and I remember almost every detail. Thanks for sharing your memories with us, your adoring public!
You would love the simple recipe of 1 pkg dry onion soup mix and a can of cream of onion (mushroom or whatever) soup and soup can of water and stew meat. Cook in crock pot for about 4 hours on high — so so good. Serve over rice…..
