This was literally AMAZING. The beef was so tender and melt in your mouth delicious. My husband said it’s his new favorite recipe. I was wondering if I could add some cut up carrots to it and if so, should I double the broth and/or cream of mushroom? Thank you for a great recipe!!!!!
I’m so glad you both loved it, Nicolette! You can add a little more beef broth for extra sauce. I’d start with ½ cup and see how you like the consistency. I’d keep the cream of mushroom at one can so the gravy doesn’t get too thick.
Made this super easy recipe! Doubled the recipe using onion powder instead of onions as my husband doesn’t like onions. Added a packet of beef gravy mix, and it was wonderful. Will definitely make it again!
Cera, I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Onion powder and a packet of beef gravy mix sound like great ways to make it work for your family. Thank you for sharing what you changed and for the 5-star review!
I’m not a fan of cream of mushroom soup. Can I use something else?
What about gravy packets ? Make 2 of them as per package and add sour cream then add to beef tips or what about a can or 2 of Beef Consumme soup
Either option should work! I would whisk one gravy packet into the beef broth without preparing it separately, then add sour cream at the end. Beef consommé could also be used in place of the broth, but you may want to reduce the added salt.
U cant go wrong with this recipe. Its a no brainer and will satisfy everyone
Thank you so much, Robin! I love how easy and family-friendly this recipe is too!
We don’t like mushrooms. What other type of soup could I use?
You can substitute another condensed cream soup, such as cream of chicken, cream of celery, or cream of onion. The flavor will be slightly different, but it should still be delicious!
