Step 3: Cook Low and Slow
Cover your slow cooker and set it on low for 6–8 hours, or high for 3–4 hours. Slow cooking is key here—it transforms the beef into tender, melt-in-your-mouth bites and allows the potatoes to soak up the savory sauce. The aroma while it cooks is irresistible.
Step 4: Check for Doneness
After cooking, check the potatoes with a fork—they should be soft and easily pierced. The beef should be tender, juicy, and flavorful. Give the mixture a gentle stir to coat the potatoes and beef with the creamy mushroom sauce.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Scoop generous portions into bowls, making sure each serving has both beef and potatoes. For a touch of freshness, you can sprinkle chopped parsley on top, though the dish is perfectly satisfying on its own. Pair it with crusty bread to soak up every bit of the luscious sauce for the ultimate comfort meal.
Tips for Success
- No cream of mushroom soup on hand? You can substitute with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup, though the mushroom flavor is classic.
- Make it a one-pot meal: If desired, add chopped carrots or celery for extra veggies.
- Flavor boost: Sear the beef tips for 2–3 minutes on each side before adding them to the slow cooker. This step is optional but adds depth to the flavor.
