4-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef Tips

The Instructions

1. Prep the Beef: Place your beef cubes directly into the bottom of a 4 to 6-quart slow cooker. There is no need to brown them first (unless you really want to), as the slow cooking process will develop plenty of depth.

2. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, the dry onion soup mix, and your liquid (water or broth) until mostly smooth.

3. Combine: Pour the mixture over the beef. Give it a gentle stir to ensure every piece of meat is coated in that savory liquid.

4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on Low for 7–8 hours or on High for 4 hours.

   Tip: If you want that true “melt-in-your-mouth” feel, the Low setting for a longer duration is always the winner.

5. Final Touch: About 30 minutes before serving, give it a stir. If you want to add mushrooms (like in the photo), you can toss in a jar of drained sliced mushrooms or sautéed fresh ones at this stage.
