No Peek Beef Tips Dish (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 2 to 2¼ pounds beef stew meat or beef tenderloin tips
02 - 1⅓ cups beef broth
03 - 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
04 - 2.2 ounces beefy onion soup mix
05 - 0.87 ounce brown gravy mix
06 - 1 tablespoon kitchen bouquet, optional
07 - ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
08 - 2 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley, optional garnish

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F.
02 - Cut the stew meat into 1-inch pieces. Arrange the beef in the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
03 - Add the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, beefy onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, kitchen bouquet, and pepper to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Whisk until the soup mixture is completely combined.
04 - Pour the soup mixture over the beef. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Do not open the oven door.
05 - Remove the pan from the oven and allow the beef to rest for 5 minutes before removing the aluminum foil. Serve over mashed potatoes or cooked rice. Garnish with chopped parsley.

# Notes:

01 - Prepare beef stew meat from the butcher counter to save time and ensure a proper cut for slow-cooking meals.
02 - You can use a crock pot instead of the oven: cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
03 - Do not open the oven during baking, as the slow-cooking process is crucial for tenderizing the meat.
