No-Peek Beef Tips
Introduction
This No-Peek Beef Tips recipe is a classic comfort meal that couldn’t be easier.
With just a handful of pantry staples and a little patience, you get fall-apart tender beef in a rich, savory gravy—perfect over mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered noodles.
The best part? You simply mix, cover, and bake—no stirring, no checking, no fuss.
Ingredients
2 lbs beef stew meat
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 packet brown gravy mix
1 envelope beefy onion soup mix
1 can of water (use the soup can to measure)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a 13×9-inch baking dish, combine stew meat, cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, beefy onion soup mix, and water. Stir until well mixed.
Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 3 hours—do not remove the foil or peek during cooking!
Remove from oven, stir, and serve hot over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Variations & Storage
You can easily adapt this dish to your taste by swapping cream of mushroom soup for cream of celery or golden mushroom for a richer flavor.
Add sliced mushrooms or diced onions before baking for extra texture.
Want a little kick? Stir in a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of black pepper.
For storage, allow leftovers to cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
It also freezes well—store in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months.
Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a little water or broth if needed to loosen the gravy.
Here are some cozy and delicious serving suggestions for your No-Peek Beef Tips:
Serve the tender beef tips and rich gravy over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or steamed white or brown rice to soak up all that savory sauce.
For a heartier meal, try serving it over garlic mashed cauliflower or buttered polenta. Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables, steamed green beans, or a crisp garden salad for balance.
Warm buttermilk biscuits or crusty bread are also great for sopping up every last bit of gravy.
For a comforting dinner, finish with a light dessert like peach cobbler, bread pudding, or apple crisp.
