How do you get beef stew meat tender?
The trick to fork tender beef stew meat is low and slow. Use a low temperature for a longer amount of time. This can either be via a crock pot or slow cooker or at a lower temperature in the oven.
Covering the dish with a lid or aluminum foil also helps to keep the moisture in the dish helping to make a fork-tender beef stew meat.
Sunday Church Beef Tips
Sometimes we all struggle with Sunday lunch, right? We can’t seem to get up early enough to throw something into the crock pot for lunch. Then by the time we get home from church, we don’t have enough time to make something decent.
So, Barbara created this recipe to solve that problem. She used her Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker, but a regular casserole dish covered with foil would work the same.
This Sunday Church Beef Tips recipe uses the low and slow method of cooking in the oven. This allows you to cook it in the oven at a low temperature while you are at church, or sports practice, or just at home with other things to do.

Is beef tips the same as stew meat?
This can be a confusing topic. Some recipes consider beef tips and stew meat as the same thing. In other recipes, beef tips refers to a more-tender cut of beef such as a steak which doesn’t take long to cook. The best way to tell is to check the cooking method. If it’s a low and slow method, then beef tips refers to beef stew meat. If it’s a quick method, then beef tips means a type of steak.

Comfort food dinner for the win! Looks so delicious!
Thank you for your blog post.Thanks Again.
I don’t own a baker, so how about a crock pot? This looks so good !
If you have a regular glass casserole dish, you could use it and just cover tightly with foil. While I’m sure you can make it in the crock pot, we haven’t done it so I don’t have any advice!
