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.

**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!
Sweet story Christy! Kids today have had so much and most of it so instantly that they have no idea what it is to experience this kinds of simple things. Sad, really.
Such a wonderful story about your trip. As a mother who would appreciate knowing my child felt so much gratitude I sincerely hope your parents are aware of these feelings you expressed in your post.
Keep up the recipes and showing that good cooking does not have to be real expensive.
Christy, I had tears filling my eyes reading your story! Although we have the money, I try to make things like McDonalds, donuts and vacations special for my kids just like they were for me. My 4-year-old daughter was shocked the other day when she got a toy (Happy Meal toy) just like her friend at school. Little did she know that most kids have tons of these trinkets at home. To her it was so special that she’s been carrying it around in her backpack–so proud of it.
Thanks for reminding me why family time at home makes little things so much more special!
Oh and by the way–love Steak Tips–that’ll be our Crockpot Monday meal for next week!
Oh how I remember those few precious family vacations. I remember occasionally stopping at gas stations and being allowed to pick out one soda….it was from one of those large meal chest-type coolers that had the sliding door on the top and the bottle-cap opener on the front. Oh what a hard decision it was to choose from all those bottles. After making our choices and getting back in the backseat of the car, I remember savoring each and every delicious swallow. A soft drink of any type was a treat as we only had milk, juice and tap water at home. If someone in the house had a tummy ache, mom would buy one, only one, 6 oz bottle of either 7-up or coca cola and that was only for whoever had the tummy ache!
Thanks for the memories.
Sounds good. I often buy chuck roast on sale and will cut them up into chunks for stew, soup and now your beef tips. I will threw in a pkg. of Lipton beefy onion soup because hubby loves onions.
I love ALL your stories.
Aww… what a sweet story! I remember going out to eat on trips so well, too, because we never did it at home either. We didn’t really have vacations. Just trips to visit family. I remember the Hardee’s in Wetumpka and the Arby’s in Montgomery! We stopped at a small doughnut shop around Birmingham one time and I remember getting creme-filled spirals that probably weren’t really that good, but were so exciting to me at the time! There was something so novel about eating food from paper and cardboard! LOL!
Thanks for the recipe! It looks good and simple. My parents and I have gone in on part of a cow a couple of times. I did it the first time and got an assortment of meat. My mother was in charge the second time and got mostly hamburger! I was so disappointed. No stew meat! Now we have a deep freeze so if I do it again, I’ll probably get the whole quarter to myself and have it split up into all the parts.
