The Best beef tips and gravy slow cooker recipe
I love making beef tips and gravy in the slow cooker because it’s one of those meals that feels like a hug in a bowl. My family gets so excited when they walk in the door and smell that rich, savory gravy simmering away. It’s perfect for busy weeknights because you just toss everything in the slow cooker in the morning and by dinner time you have tender, flavorful beef that falls apart. The beef is a great source of protein and iron, and when you serve it over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, it’s a complete, satisfying meal that everyone from my youngest to my husband loves.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Slow Cooker Beef Tips and Gravy
1. Can I use frozen beef tips in the slow cooker?
Yes, you can use frozen beef tips, but it is best to thaw them first for even cooking. If you use them frozen, you may need to add an extra hour or two to the cooking time on low.
2. How can I make the gravy thicker?
If your gravy is too thin, you can make a cornstarch slurry. Mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth, then stir it into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Let it cook until thickened.
3. Can I add vegetables to this recipe?
Absolutely. You can add chopped onions, carrots, or mushrooms to the slow cooker along with the beef. They will become tender and add more flavor to the gravy.
4. What should I serve with beef tips and gravy?
This dish is classic over mashed potatoes, but it is also great over egg noodles, rice, or even with crusty bread to soak up the gravy. A side of steamed green beans or a simple salad works well too.
5. How do I store leftovers?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the beef tips and gravy for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
