Tender beef cooked in a deliciously rich gravy, served over rice, mashed potatoes or egg noodles – a satisfying, filling meal the whole family will love. Simple to make comfort food that’s easy to adapt to your taste!
If I have red wine in the house, I will replace water with 1/4 to 1/3 cup, and pour the rest in a glass. 😀 Fresh garlic is best, but garlic powder works well too. Mushrooms are also a wonderful addition. Serve the beef tips over rice, mashed potatoes or eggs noodles. Add a side salad and your favorite veggie and you have yourself a satisfying meal the whole family will enjoy.

Best-Ever Beef Tips
- 2 lbs cubed beef stew meat
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 package brown gravy mix
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups water
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or canola)
- 1 teaspoon garlic (I use fresh)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1 cup water
TIPS: For lower sodium, leave out the teaspoon of salt and use reduced sodium soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce and brown gravy mix.
Omg this was the best I’ve ever had, the meat turned out very tender. My boyfriend owns a restaurant and he said it was amazing, he is my best critic. I did add a little more garlic, did use the red wine, added mushrooms and a little bit of gravy Master.
Any ideas to substitute the gravy mix? I am unable to use processed type foods due to food allergies.
You could make your own Brown Gravy Mix, Yelitza.

When do you substitute the red wine for the water, the 2cups or the 1
We made this with 1/3 cup red wine and mushrooms. We also used sirloin.. The sauce was really good. We thickened it a bit with gravy flour. Next time I would use a much better cut of meat as the sirloin tasted, and had the texture, of a somewhat dry pot roast. But again, the sauce was very flavorful and I will make it again. Thank you.
Crockpots require less water because it doesn't reduce. However, the longer cooking does make meat more tender. Meats need to be seared before being put into the pot. A couple minutes on each side at high temperature.
Yes you can make it in a insta pot. I would saute the beef tips in the pot take out nd saute the onions, then I would use the liquid to get everything off the inside bottom of the pot. Add the meat and other ingredients pressure cook for 15 – 20 mins. If you need to thicken do it on saute after you let the meat cook.
This can easily be made in the slow cooker – just be sure to brown the beef first for the added layer of flavor.
