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 tell the best stories Christy, now I know what I can make for dinner one night this week, except I will serve mine over egg noodles, this kind of reminds me of the sirloin tips and noodles they used to have at Denny’s when I was little, that was a treat for us whenever we traveled, and Mom and I both ordered the same thing. We also didnt have a lot of money (who has that when you are raising nine kids?) but Mom and Dad made sure to save up for vacations and we always got to go to interesting places. Dont stop tellin your stories. We all love em
Wow! Talk about memories. I remember going to Yellowstone when I was four. My folks had a huge Black Packard (now you know how old this story is…) and while they slept in a tent, I slept on the ledge of the back window. It was sooooo big and very roomy for a 4 year old. Looking at the stars, etc. Watching for Bears. Unfortunately now Yellowstone is so crowded that it isn’t the same anymore. Thanks for reminding us of those great times as kids.
Yes, Christy brought back great memories of road trips with my mom and dad, too. My dad worked at various jobs in the fifties, and one he had was building a high line (electrical) across Wyoming. We lived in Shoshoni and went to Yellowstone a few times. I remember the bears coming to our car, and my mother was screaming, “Roll your window up!” and Dad was laughing at her until one came to his side of the car, and boy, did he roll up that window fast! My brother and I could wander around just a short distance from the car, and we found wild strawberries growing. What a find for two little kids! We picked every one we could find and went running back to our picnic with a great dessert, we thought. There were only a few, because we ate most of them! Margaret, I laughed at you sleeping over the back seat of your car, because I used to do that, too, I was told. Thanks for the memory!
Your strawberry pink donut with sprinkles story was sooooo touching…brought a little tear to my eye! My husband has a camper story that is similar. A cross country trip to CA and him and his brother sleeping in the top of it.
That recipe almost sounds too easy! I’ve got to try it sometime!
Have a great evening!☺
Christy — Thanks so much for that great story. It sent me down my own memory lane. When I was little my dad went to Rotary on Thursday nights, so in celebration of not having to cook supper my mom would maybe once a month or so take my brother and I to the newly opened Cracker Barrel in our hometown of Manchester, Tennessee. I believe this was one of the very first Cracker Barrels opened. It sold gas out front and inside the menu included two items that I thought were the height of sophistication: Homemade peanut butter with crackers and slices of hoop cheddar cheese with crackers. It was always hard to choose!
Christy,
I absolutely love your attitude. It’s so positive and I always feel better about things after reading your blog. Thanks so much and please keep up the good work.

I so enjoyed your story…it took me back to my travels with my parents. There was always a loaf of bread and a pack of bologna while we were on the road. One time Daddy had this canister type burner..,it was shaped like an oatmeal box….with a screw lid on the side of it…and when you took the top lid off… it had a metal grate on top that folded out in order to accomodate the ‘pan’ that the lid turned into. It also had a …for lack of a better word…a slide that Daddy would pump in and out forcing air into the gas compartment. I remember Daddy saying you had to put “white gas” in it….I spect kerosene. On that trip Mama had packed chili beans too and they were so good!!!! Most of the time though…Mama just laid a towel over her lap and she would make sandwiches as we went down the road and hand them into the back seat to my sister, brother and me….we thought they were grand too…as we never had sandwich meat to eat at home….as Mama always cooked our meals. Oh the great memories……………..
We do something similar, but we just buy the cans of roast beef… This looks so much better!
