Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F and place the oven rack in the middle position.
- Trim any excess fat from the beef (if needed) and cut the stew meat into 1-inch pieces.
- Arrange the beef in a single layer in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, beefy onion soup mix, brown gravy mix, kitchen bouquet (optional), and fresh cracked black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and no dry powder remains.
- Pour the soup mixture evenly over the beef, scraping the bowl with a spatula so all of the mixture goes into the dish.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, sealing the edges so steam will not escape.
- Place the covered dish on the middle oven rack and bake for 2 hours and 45 minutes. Do not open the oven door during baking.
- Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest, still covered, for 5 minutes. Carefully lift the foil away from you to avoid steam.
- Serve the beef and sauce over mashed potatoes or cooked rice. Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes
You can save time with your prep work by getting beef stew meat from your butcher counter. This is a tougher cut of beef, like the top round London broil, so it goes great with slow-cooking meals because the meat has time to get tender.
You can also cook the beef tips in the crock pot. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or 3 to 4 hours on high.
Make sure you don’t peek while the beef is in the oven. This is when the magic happens.
