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 🙂

We had Beef Tips on Rice for supper too. To make mine I use 1 Lb sirloin tip steak, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp garlic in a jar, 2 can beef consume soup. Cut steak into bit size piece, place with rest of ingredients in a pressure cooker. Pressure cook for 20 min. Release pressure and mix some water and cornstarch and add to thicken gravy. Cook rice while meat is cooking. Can use stew meat.
This recipe sounds really good. Christy’s recipe is short and sweet. I do
love this site and have gotten some great recipes. Christy , you truely bring
me back to the south and my memories of the south. I love southern foods.
Your children are so cute. I have my own version of this recipe. I’m sure it’s
not new but it’s yummy and all my kids love it. I buy the beef stew meat &
cut into smaller pieces. Then sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder over
all the meat and fry in olive oil just to get the pink out and then put into a
crock pot which is turned onto high. Then I add 2 cans of Golden Mushroom
Soup (not the white Cream of Mushroom Soup because the other has more
flavor), then 1 Packet of Lipton Onion Soup (the dry) and 1 and three fourths
soup can of water. Stir well and cover. Cook on High 2-3 hours. Thicken the
juice with either water & cornstarch or water & flour. I like my gravy to be
thickish. Can pour over Mash Potatoes or Egg Noodles or Rice. Enjoy.

The recipe I was referring to that sounds really good is Gretchen’s. I will
definitely try that one. Violet.
This is a bit different from my own version but it’s an easy recipe no matter. I use 1 can of cream of whatever (usually chicken as my family doesn’t like mushrooms), 1 packet of brown gravy mix and the stew beef or cut up round steak into the slow cooker. Let cook all day on low and serve over rice or mashed potatoes.
I love the travel stories. My family never took vacations. Usually when Daddy got his vacation in the summer, we were in the middle of the garden coming in so we spent that time harvesting and preserving vegetables galore. We did occasionally make a day trip somewhere like the zoo in Jackson, MS or Vicksburg but they were few and far between. They were picnic days and, when KFC came along and a big box could be had for $4.50, we would have that. Kids these days just don’t know what fun is:) As for the riding in the back window, my mom would not let us do that and I always remember a little boy doing it in the car ahead and making faces at us all. Momma said that was why we couldn’t do it as he was acting like he had no raising.
…or you can be lazy like me and use a package of Hormel Beef Tips. Four minutes, dinner is prepared!
Has anyone actually tried this?
It’s a standard recipe at my house. I’ve heard back from countless readers who love it also, but mostly in emails and on facebook :).
As many comments as southern plate gets, you’d be amazed at what a small percentage of folks actually come back and comment when they like something. Really makes it mean even
More to me when they do though!
yes! I tried it yesterday and it was really good.
I have cooked mine this way for years~delicious!!! Sometimes i even throw in bell peppers and o
onions. SUPER EASY :))))
This is a wonderful story. I never saw the ocean until I was 17 yrs old when I graduated from high school. I choose that rather than taking a Senior Trip to Washington D.C.
When I was a little girl , Daddy would take Momma and me to Gatlinburg and to CHerokee N.C, all the time. It was a day trip for us . I made friends with some of the Indians in Cherokee. We would take a picnic lunch and find a cool place by a creek someplace. I would wade in the creek and I loved every minute of it. , Dad and I were always looking for bears. We were so poor but I didn’t know it . My Uncle had a grocery store and going there and getting five
Hershey Kisses was absolutely heaven as it was not very often that I got to go for a treat like that. You sure bring back memories, Sweetie
I don’t remember any long vacations, but I do remember a LOT of trips back and forth on I-65 from Nashville (TN) to Douglas (AL) — south of Albertville. We always stopped and ate our meals at the picnic tables on the side of the road. I don’t know if they were rest stops . . . because it didn’t look as fancy as the ones today. I remember when we picked up a young man who was serving in the military. We squeezed him in the backseat and we were all just fascinated to hear his stories.
Raspberry Zingers were wonderful!
