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.

- Red wine is an awesome addition. I use 1/4 to 1/3 cup of wine – replacing an equal amount of water with wine (1/4 cup wine plus 1 3/4 cups water OR 1/3 cup wine with 1 2/3 cups water).
- Mushrooms are a great addition too.

How long would I cook this in an instant pot??
Any way to do that in a crock pot?

I see that it calls for a packet of beef gravy mix and a cup of water, That should do it.
Looking forward to trying this recipe. However I am wondering what the just water combination, with low-sodium soy, whorchester sauce how this becomes a thickened gravy as your recipe doesn’t seem to involve a ” butter/ flour…rue” I have never seen any bottled “gravy” product…by any mfr heinze,etc. To give me a thick gravy…such as your photos suggest. I try it in a small batch incase it flops.

I loved this recipe so much I was wondering if I could use these same ingredients when I make my bottom round roast? Do you think it will work?
Nice
Great recipe just not sure why my brown gravy never thickens up like your pictures.
Ross, if you are having issue with the gravy or just like a thicker gravy, mix 1 Tablespoon cornstarch and 1 Tablespoon water and add it to the gravy. Great to have cornstarch in your pantry.
