Oven Baked 4-Ingredient Amish Beef and Gravy

This oven-baked Amish-inspired beef and gravy is the kind of practical, comforting dinner that earns a permanent spot in a busy cook’s rotation. It relies on a handful of pantry staples and a low-effort oven method to turn raw beef cubes into a tender, savory main dish with rich brown gravy. Recipes in this style are rooted in the simple, hearty cooking often associated with Amish kitchens, where economical ingredients and dependable results matter just as much as flavor.

Serve this beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or steamed white rice so none of the sauce goes to waste. For vegetables, green beans, glazed carrots, peas, or a crisp side salad balance the richness nicely, and warm dinner rolls or a slice of country bread make it feel like a full Sunday supper any night of the week.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat or cubed chuck roast
• 1 packet brown gravy mix
• 1 packet dry onion soup mix
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup water

How to Make Oven Baked Beef Tips and Gravy

1. Heat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and spread the beef cubes in an even layer.
2. Whisk the brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and water in a bowl until smooth.
3. Pour the mixture over the beef and gently turn the pieces so they are coated. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
4. Bake for 2½–3 hours, until the beef is fork-tender. If you like, stir once halfway through and replace the foil tightly.
5. Rest for 5–10 minutes. Spoon the beef and gravy over mashed potatoes, noodles, or rice.

Serving and Storage Tips

Cut larger pieces of beef to a similar size so they become tender evenly. Serve with green beans or a simple salad to balance the rich sauce. Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and reheat until steaming hot. Add a splash of water if the gravy thickens in the fridge.
