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’m going to try this tomorrow. I saw some stew meat on sale last week and put it in the freezer. Thanks for your entertaining blog and great recipes.

Thank you Tammy, I have a feeling you will make sure that comes true!!
– We had one of these same day slideshows (never knew there was a very lgoacil name for them!) at our wedding. We LOVED it and so did the guests. They still talk about it. Love, love, love that idea.December 7, 2009 10:52 am
I have tried this twice using gravy in a jar, adding sliced onions and salt/pepper. The recipe tastes great, but my stew meat is very tough and hard for my children to chew. Last time I even cooked it for less time–4 hours on low. Still tough. I have noticed this on a few other recipes where the meat is smaller pieces (as opposed to a whole roast, for example). Do you think my slow cooker could be getting too hot–is that possible, like how ovens sometimes are off-temp, can slow cookers be that way too? I use a ceramic insert, stainless outside adjustable temp cuisinart slowcooker. Any tips for me?
Slow cooker do vary in temperature. Especially if it is an older model.
Love your different meals.
Can you put the meat in frozen if you aren’t going to be home to break it up as it thaws?
You sure can Leanna!! I have to do that pretty often 🙂
This sounds like an exceptional use for the venison that I have in the freezer!!
Ohhh, that would be fabulous!! Let me know what you think if you try it!!
