What to serve with beef tips?
This recipe is delicious over mashed potatoes, pasta or even rice. Sometimes, I will whip up a bowl of quick and easy Instant Pot Potatoes that can be ready in only 10 minutes!
I also freeze rice so that is so easy to just take out of the freezer on busy nights.
Another option is pasta! We like to serve this over egg noodles but you could use any that you like. Yum!
Truly this meal is so versatile and is fantastic with whatever you choose.
Switch things up and use something different each time and your family will think it’s a new recipe. They won’t know they are eating the same thing. 🙂
It’s good with a side of steamed broccoli or green beans. We also like green peas. They are all very simple to make and taste great with this recipe.
Easy homemade rolls are also amazing with this dish. You can use them to soak up ever last bit of this yummy gravy! Homemade Fluffy Biscuits would be yummy as well.
You’ll need a slow cooker.
If you need a new crock pot for this delicious recipe, there are some nice ones on sale. I love the programmable crock pot for when I am am not at home. You can literally set it and forget it!
It’s especially perfect for those days you will be out of the house. Just set it for the amount you need and it will cut off for when you programmed it. Plus, it will stay warm until you are ready to eat.

How to make slow cooker beef tips:
- Place the chopped stew meat in the bottom of the crockpot before adding the other ingredients. (You can sear the meat but it’s optional).
- Next, place the rest of the ingredients over the stew meat.
- Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high 4-6 hours.
- Serve over rice (or you can do mashed potatoes). By the way, did you know that I like to freeze my rice and then I just microwave it when I need it for dinner. Try doing that and this recipe will be even easier.

How to freeze crock pot beef tips and rice:
This makes a delicious freezer meal recipe (in fact, I included it in my crock pot freezer meal post where I show you how to make 10 crock pot meals for the freezer in under an hour). Place all ingredients into your freezer bag (uncooked) and freeze.
Do not put the rice into the bag. Place the rice in a separate bag – Learn how to freeze rice.
When you are ready to cook, put contents in your crockpot (can be frozen) and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. Then microwave the rice for 4 minutes and serve your crockpot beef tips and gravy over the rice.
Plus, it’s nice having something so easy in the freezer. I love having a few freezer meals tucked away for busy days or weeks. Another meal that freezes great is Easy Taco Casserole Recipe.

Yummy! Made a cheap piece of meat very tender and flavorful. Easy too! Will be making this way again.
is it suggested to not stir while cooking?
Turned out delicious thanks for sharing
Can you brown the meat before placing in a crockpot? I’ve seen some recipes do that first but wasn’t exactly sure why.
Thanks!
Delicious! Cut up a sirloin roast, browned the chunks in a skillet, put in crockpot. Put onion and dice mushrooms in the pan with a little garlic and red wine to deglaze and added a pkg of beefy onion soup mix, can of cream of mushroom soup, can of hot water. Mixed and cooked a couple min. Poured it on meat. Cooked on low 6hrs. Served with mashed potatoes.
It was a very good easy recipe! Thank you for sharing.
I’m so glad you liked it.
Delicious!!!! The spices were a little to intense for me shockingly, so I may do less salt next time?
It was such an easy and yummy dinner. Perfect on anything!
Is there a substitute for the cream of Mushroom soup?
You can use any “cream of” soup or you can make our homemade cream of mushroom soup recipe.
