Ingredients
  

  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 package Lipton Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 tablespoon oil for browning
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms with juice
  • 1 rump roast trimmed and cut into bite-size chunks
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Flour and water mixture for thickening (about 2 tbsp flour mixed with 3 tbsp water)
  • Rice for serving

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Mixing bowl
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Trim the rump roast and cut it into bite-sized chunks.
  2. Heat the tablespoon of oil in a large pot until shimmering.
  3. Add the beef chunks and brown on all sides, allowing them to develop a nice caramelization.
  4. Add the cream of mushroom soup, canned mushrooms with their juice, Lipton Onion Soup Mix, water, and bay leaf to the pot.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, remembering the soup mix already contains salt.
  6. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook gently until the beef is tender but not falling apart, about 45-60 minutes.
  7. When the beef reaches perfect tenderness, prepare a thickening paste by mixing flour and water until smooth.
  8. Stir the flour mixture into the pot and continue cooking until the sauce thickens to a velvety consistency.
  9. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  10. Serve the beef tips over cooked rice.

Notes

For the best results, look for a rump roast with good marbling to ensure tender beef tips. You can substitute fresh mushrooms for canned - just sauté them first for deeper flavor. The bay leaf is essential for that subtle depth of flavor, so don't skip it! Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and actually taste even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
This versatile dish can be served over mashed potatoes or egg noodles instead of rice. For a more robust flavor, try replacing some or all of the water with beef broth or red wine.
