Description
This dish, featuring tender beef stew meat enriched with a mix of savory sauces and seasonings, is cooked slowly in the oven, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture. Here’s a more detailed breakdown of your recipe:
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef stew meat
- 1 can of cream of mushroom soup
- 1 packet of brown gravy mix
- 1 envelope of beefy onion soup mix
- 1 can of water (use the cream of mushroom soup can for measurement)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C), ensuring it’s at the right temperature before the dish goes in.
-
Prepare the Beef Mixture:
- In a 13×9 inch baking pan, place the 2 lbs of beef stew meat.
- In a separate bowl or directly in the can, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, and beefy onion soup mix. Add one can of water to this mixture and stir until everything is well combined.
- Pour this mixture over the beef stew meat in the baking pan, ensuring the meat is evenly coated with the sauce.
-
Bake the Dish:
- Cover the baking pan tightly with aluminum foil. This helps to lock in moisture and ensures the beef cooks slowly, becoming tender.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 300°F for 3 hours. It’s important to resist the temptation to peek; opening the oven could release steam and affect the cooking process.
-
Serving:
- After 3 hours, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Let it sit for a few minutes before uncovering.
- Serve the tender, flavorful beef tips with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or over a bed of buttery noodles. The rich, hearty gravy from the beef tips makes an excellent sauce for either side.
Notes
Additional Tips:
- Side Suggestions: Green beans, steamed broccoli, or a crisp salad make great vegetable sides to balance the richness of the dish.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and make for a delicious meal the next day.
