What Kind of Beef Should I Use for Beef Tips?

For this dish, stew meat or sirloin tips work beautifully. These cuts benefit from slow cooking, becoming juicy and fork-tender as they absorb the flavorful gravy. Chuck roast cut into cubes is another budget-friendly, melt-in-your-mouth option.

Ingredients for the Easy Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles

Beef stew meat or sirloin tips – The star of the show, slow cooked until irresistibly tender.

Beef broth – Forms the rich base of the gravy with deep, savory flavor.

Worcestershire sauce – Adds umami depth and a slightly tangy kick.

Garlic powder & onion powder – Simple pantry spices that infuse flavor throughout the beef.

Cream of mushroom soup – Thickens the gravy while adding creamy earthiness.

Brown gravy mix packet – Boosts flavor and helps bind the sauce.

Salt and black pepper – Enhances all the other flavors.

Cornstarch and water slurry – Optional, for thickening the gravy at the end.

Egg noodles – The comforting base to soak up all that luscious gravy.

Fresh parsley – For garnish and a pop of fresh color.

How To Make the Easy Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles

Step 1: Prep the Crockpot

Lightly grease your slow cooker insert or spray with non-stick cooking spray for easier cleanup.

Step 2: Add the Ingredients

Place the beef stew meat into the crockpot. Pour in the beef broth, then add Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cream of mushroom soup, and the brown gravy mix packet. Stir until everything is well combined.

Step 3: Slow Cook to Tender Perfection

Cover the slow cooker with the lid. Cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender.

Step 4: Thicken the Gravy (Optional)

If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water. Stir into the hot beef mixture and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes on high until thickened.

Step 5: Cook the Noodles

About 15 minutes before serving, boil the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain well.

Step 6: Serve It Up

Plate the cooked noodles in bowls and ladle the beef tips and gravy over the top. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and enjoy immediately.
