Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Liquid Base
- 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of onion soup
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Serving Suggestions
- Cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 300°F (150°C) to prepare for slow baking the beef tips.
- Prepare the Beef: Place the 2 pounds of beef stew meat cubes evenly into a 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer for uniform cooking.
- Mix the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup, cream of onion soup, dry onion soup mix, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper until smooth and combined.
- Combine Beef and Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the beef cubes in the baking dish. Stir gently to coat all the beef pieces thoroughly with the flavorful soup mixture.
- Seal and Bake: Tightly cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, making sure there are no gaps to trap steam inside. Bake in the preheated oven for 3 hours without opening the oven or removing the foil to allow the beef to become tender and infused with flavors.
- Finish and Serve: After 3 hours, carefully remove the foil and gently stir the beef tips to mix any separated juices. Serve the beef tips hot over cooked egg noodles or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of celery soup for either condensed soup to vary the flavor.
- Adding 1 cup of sliced mushrooms before baking will give a richer, earthier depth to the dish.
- This dish reheats well and the sauce tends to thicken as it cools, making it convenient for leftovers.
