Steak Tips Over Rice In The Crock Pot
My “steak tips” over Rice is a delicious slow cooker recipe cooked all day in the crock pot to create tender juicy meat for a flavorful dinner.
This is one of my husband’s favorite meals and it is shamefully easy and incredibly cheap. You see, my “steak tips” over gravy is nothing more than stew meat slow cooked all day in the crock pot. Stew meat is easy to find on clearance. I usually pick up a few trays of it every few weeks and freeze it that day for this meal. Normally I use a tray half this size but I made a little extra today. Sometimes I do this with a roast as well, cutting it up into smaller pieces similar to how stew meat is cut.
Alright, lets get to cooking.
A slow cooker is invaluable when it comes to cooking inexpensive cuts of meat. Meat that normally would yield tough results becomes fall apart tender through this method of cooking. The important thing to note is that tough meat needs fat in order to become tender. This is why roasts cooked in water are tougher than those cooked in gravy. You only need one can, even if you are making an entire roast, as it melds with the meat juices as they cook out as well and produce plenty of liquid.
Place “steak tips” in crock pot and cover with one can of beef gravy. I often pop these suckers in frozen and just break them up a bit as they thaw and begin to cook. You don’t have to use beef gravy, you can use a packet of brown gravy mix, prepared according to package directions, and that will be fine, too. If you would like a recipe for steak with homemade gravy there is one right here.
Cook that on low all day for seven to eight hours or on high for three to four. That is the general cooking time for all crock pot meals in case you wanted to know :).
Prepare rice according to package directions and spoon out steak tips and gravy to serve!

Special thanks to my reader and facebook friend, Ticha for this quote!
Made the taco pizza. They lovvvvvvvvved it. Going to make the chocolate frosting tomorrow. Looking through recipes for dinner today also.
I made this last night. Oh My Gosh! It was go good, even the kids loved it, now that is amazing!
We too had a camper with a crawl thru window! I loved our camping trips!
Thanks for the great recipes! Everything I have tried so far has been wonderful.
I made this for dinner last night and it was a huge hit! I still cannot believe how easy it was and how tender the meat turned out!!! DELICIOUS!
We tried it tonight and it was just as good as those $3.00 a can roast beefs I used to buy. I did what you said about buying the meat discounted and you are so right about the crock pot! I loved the meal!
Oh by the way, I found a crockpot in my cabinets, I didn’t even remember that I had! We got it 4 years ago back when Hamburger Helper was my specialty. I had no clue how to use it. Its been used once or twice by someone else.
I still want a bigger one its only 2.75 Qts. I showed DH the pic of yours… I told him it would be a great easter/bday/Mothers day present.
Christy-I enjoyed your story so much. It almost made me cry and brought to mind something I hadn’t thought about in years. Mom and Dad were hardworking but poor first generation Americans. They struggled to keep going but, it was hard. Once Mom was invited to visitwith her at the family cabin “in the country”. We were city people and although it was only two days and one night-it was heaven to my sister and me. I was probably seven years old and remember the huge rocks and towering trees and being able to run anywhere on the property. Thanks for the memories.
Steak tips will be on my menu next week.
Love your blog and I’m only Southern in attitude.
Your Yankee friend,

Sorry-I deleted a word. The cabin belonged to Mom’s friend.
What a wonderful story Christy. Reminds me a bit of my childhood. I remember our yearly trip to the drive-in to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. There was a McDonald’s next door and we’d go get supper from there. That was something I looked forward to every summer. Sadly when Disney started releasing movies on VHS they quit releasing movies to the theaters and that killed that tradition. It also reminded me of when we would stop and get breakfast from the doughnut shop on the days my school Christmas plays were. I loved getting Martinelli apple juice in the glass bottles that were shaped like apples. Even now at age 28 my face lights up when I see one from all the memories.
We’re actually having steak tips over rice for supper tonight. They’re called beef tips in our house but it’s the same recipe.
gGuess what’s on the menu for my house tomorrow! I just happen to already have the ingredients, so, it’s on for tomorrow! Can’t wait!!
