🛒 What You’ll Need
🥩 2 lbs beef stew meat or sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
🍄 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
🧅 1 medium onion, diced
🥣 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
🥩 1 cup beef broth
🌿 1 packet dry onion soup mix
🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
🧂 ½ teaspoon black pepper
🧈 2 tablespoons butter or oil
Optional: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra savory kick.
👩🍳 How to Make It
1️⃣ Brown the Beef
Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef with black pepper and brown it in batches for a few minutes on each side.
You don't need to cook it through—the slow cooker will handle that.
Don't overcrowd the pan. Browning in batches gives the beef better color and flavor. 🥩✨
2️⃣ Build the Slow Cooker
Place the browned beef into your slow cooker.
Add the sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and minced garlic.
3️⃣ Make the Gravy
In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and onion soup mix.
Pour the mixture over the beef and mushrooms.
If using Worcestershire sauce, add a splash now.
4️⃣ Let the Slow Cooker Work
Cover and cook on:
🐢 LOW for 6–8 hours
or
🔥 HIGH for 3–4 hours
The beef should be tender and the gravy rich and flavorful.
5️⃣ Serve It Up
Give everything a gentle stir before serving.
Spoon those tender beef tips and mushrooms over:
🥔 Mashed potatoes
🍜 Egg noodles
🍚 Steamed rice
Then pour plenty of that delicious gravy over the top.
Because gravy is not a garnish—it is part of the meal. 😂❤️
✨ Easy Ways to Make It Your Own
🍄 Use a mixture of baby bella and white mushrooms.
🧅 Add extra onions for a sweeter, richer flavor.
🥕 Toss in sliced carrots for a complete one-pot meal.
🌿 Add fresh parsley before serving for a little freshness.
🧄 Love garlic? Add another clove or two.
💡 A Little Tip
For the most tender beef, don't rush the slow-cooking process.
If you're using a cut that benefits from long cooking, the low-and-slow method gives the connective tissue time to break down and the beef time to become wonderfully tender.
And if the gravy seems too thick at the end, stir in a small splash of warm beef broth until it reaches the consistency you like.
