Slow Cooked Beef Tips with Onion Gravy
Tender chunks of beef simmered in a savory onion gravy that makes every bite feel like a hug.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a plate of beef tips served over a big mound of creamy mashed potatoes. This meal is a favorite in my house because the beef gets so tender it practically melts away, and the gravy is full of deep flavor without needing a dozen different spices.
My best advice is to use a good quality chuck roast and trim off any large pieces of fat before you start. Cooking it low and slow is the secret to getting that perfect texture that everyone loves.

💡 Tips
Serve this over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice to soak up all the extra gravy. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. It actually tastes even better the next day once the flavors have had more time to meld.
