Here’s a 3-ingredient beef recipe that turns tough cubes into ultra-tender, rich, melt-in-your-mouth comfort food.
🥩 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef
🛒 You Only Need:
1️⃣ 2 lbs (900g) raw cubed beef
(Chuck roast or stewing beef works best)
2️⃣ 1 packet dry onion soup mix
3️⃣ 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
(or cream of celery)
That’s it. No water needed.
👩🍳 How to Make It
-
Place raw cubed beef in the slow cooker.
-
Sprinkle onion soup mix evenly over the meat.
-
Spread cream of mushroom soup on top.
-
Cover and cook:
-
Low: 7–8 hours
-
High: 4–5 hours
-
Do not stir early — let it slow cook and tenderize.
🔥 Why It Tastes So Good
-
Onion soup mix adds savory depth.
-
Cream soup creates a rich gravy.
-
Slow cooking breaks down collagen → fork-tender beef.
It becomes juicy, flavorful, and practically shreds itself.
🍽 Serve It With:
-
Mashed potatoes
-
Rice
-
Egg noodles
-
Crusty bread
-
Steamed green beans
💡 Optional (Still Simple)
If you want to upgrade it slightly:
-
Add sliced mushrooms
-
Add ½ cup beef broth for thinner gravy
-
Stir in sour cream at the end for extra richness
