Ingredients:
- 2 pounds stew beef
- 1 packet Au Jus Gravy mix
- 1 packet Lipton Onion Soup mix
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
- Mashed potatoes (for serving)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crockpot:
- Place the stew meat in the crockpot, ensuring an even layer.
- Season the Meat:
- In a small bowl, combine the Au Jus Gravy mix, Lipton Onion Soup mix, and ranch dressing mix. Mix well to create a flavorful seasoning blend.
- Coat the Meat:
- Sprinkle the seasoning blend evenly over the stew meat in the crockpot, covering the meat on all sides.
- Add Butter:
- Place the stick of butter on top of the seasoned meat to add richness and enhance flavor.
- Cover and Cook:
- Cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on low heat for 4-6 hours. Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld, and the meat becomes tender.
- Stir Occasionally (Optional):
- If available, stir the meat occasionally during the cooking process to ensure even coating of the seasoning and butter.
- Serve Over Mashed Potatoes:
- Once the beef tips are cooked to perfection, serve them over a bed of mashed potatoes. The savory sauce created during cooking complements the creamy mashed potatoes.
- Garnish (Optional):
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a pop of color and added freshness.
