🥩 No Peek Beef – The Ultimate Easy Comfort Food

If you’re in the mood for a warm, hearty dinner that’s practically effortless, this No Peek Beef recipe is about to become your new favorite! With only a few simple ingredients and one baking dish, you’ll get tender, flavorful beef tips in a rich, savory gravy — perfect to serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or even egg noodles.

This is a classic “dump-and-bake” meal — you just mix, cover, bake, and forget it… no peeking required! The magic happens in the oven while you go about your day. When it’s done, you’ll have melt-in-your-mouth beef in a thick, delicious sauce that tastes like you spent hours cooking.

🛒 Ingredients:

1 pound beef stew meat (also called beef tips)

1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.75 oz)

1 teaspoon brown gravy mix

1 package beefy onion soup mix (such as Lipton)

That’s it! Just 4 main ingredients — no fancy prep or long ingredient list needed.

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Yes, it’s a low and slow bake — perfect for ultra-tender results.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix, and beefy onion soup mix. Stir everything together until you have a smooth, thick mixture.

Place the beef stew meat in a 9×13-inch baking dish (or a casserole dish). Spread it out in an even layer.

Pour the soup and seasoning mixture over the beef and stir gently to coat all the meat.

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. This step is key — don’t peek! The foil traps in the steam and flavors, which is what makes the beef so tender.

Bake for 2½ to 3 hours, undisturbed. Resist the urge to open the oven or check — trust the process!

When it’s done, carefully remove the foil (watch out for steam!). Stir and serve immediately over mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or rice.

🧄 Tips for Perfect No Peek Beef:

Use good-quality stew meat or cut-up chuck roast for the best tenderness.

Don’t skip the “no peek” part! The slow cooking with a sealed top helps tenderize the meat and develop deep flavor.

Want a richer flavor? Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of garlic powder to the mix.

This recipe doubles easily if you’re feeding a crowd — just use a larger pan and the same low-and-slow method.

Great for meal prep! Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and taste even better the next day.

🍽️ Serving Ideas:

Serve over garlic mashed potatoes with green beans on the side.

Pair with a crusty slice of bread to soak up all that amazing gravy.

Add a side salad for a fresh, balanced plate.
