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.

How to Make Steak Tips over Rice:
Place “steak tips” in crock pot.
**If you have frozen meat you can just put the meat in the slow cooker and break them up a bit as they begin to cook.
Cover with one can of beef gravy.
**You don’t have to use beef gravy. You can use a packet of brown gravy mix, prepared according to package directions, and that will be fine, too. If you would like a recipe for steak with homemade gravy there is one right here.
Cook that on low all day for seven to eight hours or on high for three to four. That is the general cooking time for all crock pot meals in case you wanted to know 🙂

Special thanks to my reader and Facebook friend, Ticha for this quote!
Christy, I do this with a cheap old roast (if such an animal exists nowadays!) and also a can of green chilis. This makes the best taco/burrito filling!
My husband loves this recipe! I cant believe how easy it is. Thanks
Tried this last night, While it was an easy recipe, as is wasnt my favorite. The thing I do like about it is that its one that you can play with to meet your personal tastebuds. I think next time I will make a gravy from Lipton’s beefy onion soup packet and add some mushrooms as well. Good recipe but needs some doctoring other wise its very bland.
I have been making something similar for years. But I use the pressure cooker then add beef to gravy in large pan. I also add steamed broccoli and carrots and served over rice. I actually just switched to brown rice with all the gravy its hard to notice the brown rice vs white.
Im thinking I can do the beef in the crockpot and toss the veggies in right before serving so they dont get soggy.
Cant waito to try this thanks!
I hope you like it!!!
Oh, this is just like my granny’s stew beef which was one of my favorite meals and which I’ve really really missed. I’m making this tomorrow! Thank you so much Christy!
This was perfect and absolutely delicious! Thank you for a great recipe!
I am so glad you liked it Kim!!!
wow, it hasn’t really been 4 years since I posted that…..has it? making it again on Tuesday. just had to dig up the recipe and re-read the comments.
I was given the recipe w/ soups about a year ago and we love it on dumplings(thick egg noodles)! I am going to try it your way to shake things up! Personally I could eat beef and gravy in some configuration every single day! I think its the hillbilly in me! 🙂
