Do you love tender beef tips and gravy? They are easy to make in an Instant Pot or slow cooker (beef tips in gravy crockpot style). Instructions for using both are given below. Cooked, either way, the meat is extra tender and melts in your mouth, and the gravy is so rich and flavorful. Serve over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a delicious dinner.

Tender beef tips with gravy make a delicious meal that tastes good the first night, and you can reheat leftovers for later. This is comfort food with delicious chunks of beef in a rich brown gravy. It's easy to make with surprisingly few ingredients, and you can use inexpensive cuts of meat.

What Cuts of Beef Are Best for Beef Tips in Gravy?

You can make very lean or tough cuts of beef tender with an Instant Pot pressure cooker or a slow cooker. So for this beef tips with gravy recipe, you can use lean chuck roast, sirloin tip, eye of round, or your preferred cut of lean beef.

  • Chuck Roast is an inexpensive cut of meat that's often on sale. It has some marbling for flavor, and it's flat, which makes it easy to brown.
  • Sirloin Tip (or round tip) is cut from the hindquarters, next to the sirloin. A sirloin tip has lots of flavor.
  • Eye of Round comes from the rear leg. It's lean and tough but really flavorful.

There's nothing like using one of the most inexpensive protein items at the grocery store and creating something this delicious with it! Click here for a guide to lean beef cuts and how to cook them.

It's easy to stretch this recipe. Toss in some leftover veggies and ladle over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta noodles. You could also serve this dish with a side of roasted brussel sprouts, broccoli, glazed carrots, or a kale salad.

This recipe uses Gravy Master, which enhances the natural flavors and appearance of gravies, meats, stews, fish, poultry, and vegetables. It isn't super common, but Gravy Master helps add a little something to this recipe.

Beef tips and gravy is the perfect make-ahead meal for busy weeknights, and it makes great leftovers! Simply keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container until you are ready to reheat. Freshen the flavor with just a dash of salt and pepper and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.

  • Beef tips with gravy are also great to freeze in zippered bags.
