My “steak tips” over rice is a delicious slow cooker recipe cooked all day in the crock pot to create tender juicy meat for a flavorful dinner.
This is one of my husband’s favorite meals and it is shamefully easy and incredibly cheap. You see, my “steak tips” over gravy is nothing more than stew meat slow cooked all day in the crock pot. Stew meat is easy to find on clearance. I usually pick up a few trays of it every few weeks and freeze it that day for this meal. Sometimes I do this with a roast as well, cutting it up into smaller pieces similar to how stew meat is cut.
A Slow Cooker is invaluable when it comes to cooking inexpensive cuts of meat. Meat that normally would yield tough results becomes fall apart tender through this method of cooking. The important thing to note is that tough meat needs fat in order to become tender. This is why roasts cooked in water are tougher than those cooked in gravy. You only need one can, even if you are making an entire roast, as it melds with the meat juices as they cook out as well and produce plenty of liquid.

I’ve been following you here & on Facebook for awhile & have tried many of your recipes on my southern husband. He had a hard time waiting on the pineapple, orange cake that had to sit for three days! Well anyway I made the steak tips over rice in his memory today & I know he would have loved it!! He passed away 9 months ago on Thanksgiving day. Thank you for sharing your recipes & stories they have helped me make meals my husband loved!

I buy most of my meat on clearance too especially stew beef and roasts. Here’s my recipe:
2-3 pounds stew beef(usually two packs)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 small can sliced mushrooms(draining optional)
1 envelope onion soup mix
Mix all ingredients in a slow cooker 4 quart or larger and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender. Server over hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes.
When I went to the grocery store to buy steak for Father’s Day, the ones they had left didn’t look so good, but a big ‘ole package (about 2 lbs.) of steak tips did. So, I was looking forward to making them, but didn’t have a recipe yet. When I told my husband that I was making steak tips for dinner his reply was.. shall we say… less than enthusiastic. He complained that steak tips weren’t worth the effort and were always too tough. ENTER CHRISTY JORDAN’S STEAK TIPS OVER RICE RECIPE TO THE RESCUE. I cooked them up in my slow cooker for 4 hours on high. I used the same can of gravy and a can of cream of mushroom soup that Janice Lynn suggested. (Simply because my family REALLY enjoys cream of mushroom soup, especially my husband!) It made a LOT of gravy for the meat, but we didn’t run out. Next time I’ll probably just use the cream of mushroom soup and add a little beef bouillon for extra flavor. The meat turned out so good and wonderfully tender that my husband said that I need to add that recipe to our regular rotation!!!! Thanks a bunch for posting this simple, but wonderful recipe that saved our Father’s Day dinner!!! 😉
What a great recipe! Made it for the first time yesterday – so good and so easy. Added some onions, but that was the only change. Tasted even better today! Thanks for another great recipe Christy!
So glad it was a hit Jen!!!
Trying this tonight, can’t wait for the feedback from my family! Love easy fix suppers!
I tried this yesterday and it was really good. It’s a definite keeper crock pot recipe and I am so thrilled because it contains an inexpensive cut of meat and I can throw the meat in the crock pot in it’s FROZEN state. How much easier does it get. I used about 2 lbs of meat and 1 can of beef gravy and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, I added a little garlic and onion powder, and black pepper. We are having left overs tonight and we are looking forward to it. Give this a try soon.
I loved your vacation story. I was born and raised in Florida so the ocean was not a big deal, but my dad worked for the airlines and we were lucky enough to fly free so each summer usually included a vacation to the mountains. My husband recently surprised me and had my dad’s old 8 mm vacation videos put onto a DVD. These are the really old ones (late 60’s/early 70’s) with no voices. But it just filled my heart with such joy to see how lucky my brother and I were to have such wonderful memories. I asked my husband how they ever planned such great vacations without the internet?
