# What You’ll Need:
→ Meat
01 -
2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
→ Seasonings
02 -
1 tablespoon lemon pepper seasoning
03 -
1 package (1 ounce) dry onion soup mix
04 -
½ teaspoon salt
→ Liquids and Sauces
05 -
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, reduced sodium
06 -
2 cups low sodium beef broth
→ Thickening mixture
07 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 -
3 heaping tablespoons all-purpose flour
# Steps to Make This:
01 -
In a 5-quart slow cooker, whisk together dry onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth.
02 -
Cut beef into 1-inch cubes and season evenly with lemon pepper seasoning.
03 -
Add the seasoned beef cubes to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until meat is tender.
04 -
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
05 -
Remove beef tips from slow cooker and set aside. Measure 2 cups of cooking liquid and gradually whisk it into the roux. Increase heat to medium-high and whisk constantly until gravy thickens.
06 -
Return thickened gravy to the slow cooker, add beef tips back in, and stir well. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Use low sodium broth and soup to control salt levels and avoid overly salty gravy.
02 -
Cooking on low heat for extended time ensures maximum tenderness, especially for tougher cuts like chuck roast.
