If you love a good steak, then you’ll love these no peek beef tips. Tender and juicy, the little morsels are cooked in a delicious gravy that is packed with flavor and perfect for a quick and comforting meal.
No Peek Beef Tips Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2 to 2¼ pounds beef stew meat or beef tenderloin tips (I chose stew meat)
- 1⅓ cups beef broth
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can of cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (2.2-ounce) packet of beefy onion soup mix (I used Lipton)
- 1 (0.87-ounce) packet of brown gravy mix (I used a store brand)
- 1 tablespoon kitchen bouquet, optional
- ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley, optional garnish (I used curly parsley)
PRO TIP:
You can save time with your prep work by getting beef stew meat from your butcher counter. This is a tougher cut of beef, like the top round London broil, so it goes great with slow-cooking meals because the meat has time to get tender.
SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS
BEEF: You can use just about any variety of beef for this dish. Because you are cooking at a lower temperature and for a longer period of time, this is the perfect recipe for less expensive cuts of beef.
SPICES: You can omit the kitchen bouquet if you do not have or cannot find it in your local grocery store. I always have it on hand to use in pot roast recipes, soups, and gravies. It really takes your recipes to the next level for flavor.
SOUP MIX: If you cannot find the beefy onion soup mix, you can substitute the onion soup mix or onion mushroom soup mix for your no peeking beef tips.

OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
You can also cook the beef tips in the crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or 3-4 hours on high.
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 300°F.
STEP TWO: Cut the stew meat into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the beef in the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish.
STEP THREE: Add the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, beefy onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, kitchen bouquet, and pepper to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until the soup mixture is completely combined.
STEP FOUR: Pour the soup mixture over the beef. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Do not open the oven door (no peeking!).
PRO TIP:
Make sure you don’t peek while the beef is in the oven. This is when the magic happens.
