How To Serve Crock Pot Beef Tips with Gravy

I like to throw some peas on the side or a small side salad to round out the meal. Beef Tips and Gravy is also delicious served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

An Easy Prep Recipe

This recipe is totally simple. There’s no need to precook anything and about 5 minutes of prep time is all you need. I like a super thick gravy so I do spend a few minutes at the end thickening the gravy. I follow Brandy’s (The Country Cook) method of thickening gravy for Crock Pot Beef Tips. She makes a roux using 2 tablespoons of butter and 3 heaping tablespoons of flour. Then 2 cups of the liquid from the crock pot is added. It makes a super thick and tasty gravy. You can always add extra cooking liquid if you want a thinner gravy.

Type Of Beef To Use

We don’t eat a ton of red meat, but this is one of my favorite beef recipes. It makes a hearty meal and doesn’t break the bank. I usually make it when chuck roast goes on sale. You can use other types of meat too- anything labeled beef tips or stew meat and round steak works as well.

Notes

If you are using a fatty cut of meat like chuck roast, cut off as much of the fat as you can.
