Alright, listen up, y’all! We gonna make somethin’ called “no peek beef tips” in that there slow cooker thingamajig. Don’t you worry none, it ain’t fancy or nothin’. Just good, plain eatin’ for when you’re too tired to fuss.
Now, I seen some folks callin’ this the best beef tips ever. I dunno ’bout all that, but it sure is tasty and fills up the belly good. You know, when you got a whole passel of young’uns to feed, you need somethin’ easy and cheap. This here recipe fits the bill.
First off, you gotta get yourself some beef. I just go to the store and get them little chunks of beef already cut up. They call it “stew meat” or somethin’ like that. If you gotta cut it yourself, well, just chop it up into bite-sized pieces. Ain’t gotta be perfect, ya hear?
- Get beef, the kind cut up already.
- If it ain’t cut, chop it up. Don’t get all fancy.
Now, some folks say you gotta brown the beef first. They say it makes it taste better. Well, maybe it does, maybe it don’t. If you got the time and the energy, go ahead and fry it up in a pan with a little bit of oil. But if you’re like me and you got a million other things to do, just dump it right in the slow cooker. It’ll be just fine, I promise.
This recipe is real simple, that’s why I like it. You just dump everything in that there slow cooker and let it do its thing. No peekin’, that’s the important part! You leave it alone, and it’ll cook up all nice and tender. I’m tellin’ ya, it’s perfect for when you’re busy as a bee in a tar bucket.
Okay, so you got your beef in the slow cooker. Now you need some other stuff. I use a can of that cream of mushroom soup. Yeah, the stuff in the can. Don’t go gettin’ all high and mighty on me. It works good and it’s cheap. And then I put in a packet of that onion soup mix. You know, the dry stuff in the little envelope? That’s it. Just dump it right on in.
Some folks like to add a little water, too. Maybe half a cup or so. Just enough to make sure everything is nice and moist. You don’t want it dryin’ out, now do ya? And that’s pretty much it. See? I told you it was easy.
Now, put the lid on that slow cooker and turn it on low. And then you leave it alone. That’s the important part! No peekin’! I know it’s hard, but you gotta trust me. Let it cook for six or eight hours. All day if you want. The longer it cooks, the more tender it gets.
When it’s done, you can serve it over noodles or rice. Or mashed potatoes, if you got ’em. Or just eat it straight out of the pot with a spoon. I ain’t judgin’. It’s all good eatin’.
And the best part is, clean up is a breeze. Just one pot to wash. That’s my kinda cookin’. Easy peasy, like they say on the TV.
So, there you have it. No peek beef tips. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. And it’ll feed your family without breakin’ the bank. Now go on and make it. And don’t forget, no peekin’!
And listen, if you got some picky eaters, don’t you worry none. This beef is so tender, it just falls apart. And that gravy? Oh, that gravy is somethin’ else. It’s thick and rich and full of flavor. Even the pickiest kids will gobble it up. Trust me on this one. I’ve fed a whole lot of mouths in my day.
One more thing, don’t go frettin’ about the exact amounts. This ain’t bakin’ a cake, ya know? A little more of this, a little less of that, it ain’t gonna hurt nothin’. That’s the beauty of slow cookin’. It’s forgiving. So just throw it all in there and let it do its thing. You’ll be surprised how good it turns out.
