Ingredients for No Peek Beef Tips
To make this incredible dish, you’ll need the following ingredients:

- 2 lbs beef stew meat or beef tips: Choose high-quality meat for the best results.
- 1 packet onion soup mix: Adds depth and savory notes to the dish.
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup: Enhances the creamy texture of the gravy.
- 1 can (10.5 oz) beef broth: Provides a rich, beefy flavor.
- 1 tbsp soy sauce: Adds a touch of umami.
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder: Brings a subtle, aromatic layer of flavor.
- 1/2 tsp black pepper: For a hint of spice.
- 1 1/2 cups white rice (uncooked): Absorbs the savory juices, creating a flavorful base.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). A lower temperature ensures the beef tips cook slowly and absorb all the flavors from the sauce.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the following ingredients:
- Onion soup mix
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Beef broth
- Soy sauce
- Garlic powder
- Black pepper
Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well-blended. This will serve as the base for your gravy.
Step 3: Assemble the Dish
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking. Spread the uncooked rice evenly across the bottom of the dish. Place the beef tips on top of the rice, ensuring they are distributed evenly. Pour the prepared soup mixture over the beef and rice, making sure everything is fully covered.
Step 4: Cover and Bake
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. This step is crucial because it locks in the moisture, allowing the beef to cook to tender perfection. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 2 1/2 hours. Remember, no peeking! Opening the foil can release steam and affect the cooking process.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
After 2 1/2 hours, carefully remove the dish from the oven and take off the foil. Use a fork to fluff the rice, ensuring it’s evenly coated with the rich gravy. Serve the beef tips and rice hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
