No Peek Beef Tips
No Peek Beef Tips is one of the best beef tips recipes EVER! I am usually fond of making my beef tips in the slow cooker (you can check out that recipe below). But when I stumbled upon this 5 ingredients recipe and there’s no need to brown the beef tips first, I had to try it!
It is so simple to make this tasty one dish dinner recipe! You start off by putting your beef tips in a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Next step is to mix the gravy packet, dry onion soup mix packet, can of cream of mushroom and water together in a bowl. I did not use a packet of dry onion soup mix because I make my own homemade onion soup mix. You can get that recipe here —>Dry Onion Soup Mix Recipe.
Once you have everything mixed well, pour over the cubed beef and stir to combine. Cover the dish with foil and in the oven it goes for 2 1/2 hours. Now comes the hard part – NO PEEKING! That’s why this recipe is called No Peek Beef Tips.
Now when they come out of the oven they will need to be stirred and let sit for about five minutes. They will be super hot.
You can serve the tasty beef tips and gravy alone or pair them with rice, pasta or mashed potatoes. I served our beef tips over the potato recipe —>Old Fashioned Mashed Potatoes. Again this recipe was one of the BEST Beef Tips recipe I have ever made or tasted!

I made this recipe in love it! With one exception… It was a little salty. Probably from the salt in the gravy and the Lipton soup. So when I made it a second time I just bought the reduced sodium gravy and it came OUT just PERRRRFECT!!!
Question…how long to bake if you double the recipe?
Same time just increase the size of your slow cooker. I would use a 6 Qt.
Can you make this in a crockpot?
we just did it that way today. Turned out great. Did for 7 hours on low.Thinking of cooking potatoes right in with it.
Plan on making this tonight! Wondering if I add an onion, mushrooms and carrots (I follow Kristina Kuzmic and she added) do I increase waterva bit or a splash of red wine? Thanks all!
How long do I cook it in the oven if I double all the ingredients .
I would go with 2 (9×13) and place them side by side in your oven if there is room.
So if there’s only 2 if us can I do this in a crockpot with the same ingredients?
Yes, give it a try!

Could I use cubes sirloin or would that be too tough?
Yes you can!
So easy and delicious
Can I sub cream of onion soup for the cream if mushroom?
Absolutely! That sounds amazing!
So do u make the gravy packet as normal or no and the same with the onion soup packet.
I made this tonight with chuck roast, it was a bit too fatty. I would try it again with a leaner cut like sirloin.
I made this a few weeks ago and it was yummy but missing something. I am making it again but I am going to add sliced raw onions to it on the bottom and top of the beef.
Ok, so I have been making this for 2 years now. I add a can of mushrooms, about a tsp of minced garlic and a medium onion, sliced thin, on top. I serve it over buttered noodles. Great comfort food and the leftovers reheat well for my lunch to bring to work the next day(s). So easy and yummy.
Can you prepare this the night before and refrigerate until ready to bake? Or does the soup mixture separate?
I tried this. followed the recipe and the gravy all evaporated. set my timer for 3 hours and did not peek so didn’t find it until it was done. Not sure what happened
I got this recipe from our local butcher shop. Literally I just dump ingredients in—beef, cream of mushroom, can of sliced mushrooms, packet of beefy onion soup mix— and pour 1 cup of ginger ale (instead of water). So delicious!! It’s in the oven at this moment.
I don’t eat meat, but my husband would love this, especially on mashed potatoes
One of our favorite meals!
I will have to make this for dinner one night. It looks like something we’d enjoy!
This sounds like it would be really good. I’ll have to give it a try. Looks like something that I would really like.
There is no better comfort food than beef tips. We love them over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Always a winner in our house no matter what we serve them with.
Oh my! This look so good! I would really love to try this recipe!
That looks really delicious and I’ve been rolling dinner options around in my mind, perhaps this!
This looks so yummy and totally comforting too! Perfect for Fall and I am making this for mob family as my kids will love it!
We haven’t made beef tips in a while. I’ll have to make some soon. They are super easy and a delicious meal.
I love one-dish meals for my family. Yours looks really delicious!
I’ve never used beef tips in any of my recipes before. I love that you don’t need to brown them first. This sounds really lovely. It’s great that it isn’t too complicated or stressful to make. I know my husband is going to want this every week!!!!
This beef dish looks irresistible and I love that it’s a one pan meal!
That is a very simple but tasty-looking dish.
I’ve been thinking about making this for a WHILE now. I think finding this recipe is my sign to DO IT!
I am making 15 # beef tips for 40 people. Do I still cook it 2.5 hours?
Yes, just make sure your slow cooker is large enough. What size do you have?
Can I use a jar of gravy instead of a packet
Here comes what may be the dumbest question, do you just add the cream of mushroom soup or do you have to combine it with the can full of milk it says to on the label?
This recipe looks amazing, I’m adding the ingredients to my list now to try it asap.
No need for the milk 🙂 Not a dumb question! Hope you enjoy!
Made this for dinner today. MIL is a bit on the picky side and she LOVED it! The rest of us also enjoyed it very much!! Definitely getting put into weekend rotation menu!!
How long would cook time be if you 1/2 the recipe?
Very tasty, but salty. I also noticed that it was very dry after 2.5 hrs in the oven – needed more liquid.
Don’t like mushrooms can I substitute another cream soup
Yes, you can do any cream of soup. I have used celery and potato.
Can I ad green peppers instead of mushrooms?
Yes for sure.
