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.

Special thanks to my reader and Facebook friend, Ticha for this quote!
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.
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…
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!
( sorry I am new to commenting here and I think I stuck it in the wrong spot before) hehehe Here is my post:
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
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!
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.
What a wonderful trip.
Thanks for sharing.
