Beef Tips with Gravy

Beef Tips with Gravy

1 lb of beef tips

1 can (10 oz) cream mushroom soup

Zesty Italian dressing dry mix

Brown Gravy dry mix

1/2 tsp garlic powder, or 2 cloves, finely minced 

1/2 small onion, minced

1/2 c cold water for brown gravy

1/4 cup hot water for Italian dressing

Lawry's Season Salt for meat. 

Sprinkle the meat (somewhat liberally) with Lawry's season salt to taste. Chop up 1/2 of a small onion and 2 cloves of garlic and place in a nonstick pan with the meat. Lightly brown the meat, garlic and onions. Dissolve the gravy mix in 1/2 c cold water. Dissolve the Italian Dressing mix in 1/4 cup warm water. Place the meat, onions, and garlic in a slow cooker and add the gravy, the dressing, and a can of cream of mushroom soup. Cook on high for about three hours. 

I personally have a shortcut that I like to use. I place the meat garlic and onion mixture in an electric pressure cooker and add the gravy mix and dressing mix with the water. I cook it under pressure for about 15 minutes. Then I depressurize it and stir in the cream of mushroom soup and let it simmer for a few minutes before serving.

*Best served over white rice or egg noodles.
