   Wow, this sounds really delicious!
2. heidi says:

   Hi there! This sounds like something my husband would love! Help me out, though- what are sirloin roast tips? I have never seen that in any of the meat sections of grocery stores in my area. Since we don't seem to have that, any suggestions on a substitution? Thanks!
3. Melanie says:

   This sounds so easy and delicious. My boys love eating beef, so this sort of thing goes over really well in our house. And what could be easier than cooking it up in the crock pot?!?
4. Camille (SixSistersStuff) says:

   Heidi- so sorry about that! You can actually just buy a sirloin roast and cut it into 1-2" pieces and it will work perfectly. :) Another thing that you can do is buy beef stew cubes (they usually have them all cut into pieces for beef stew in the meat section of the grocery store) and it will work!
5. Patti says:

   I will be taking a meal in to my neighbor's family on Sunday and thought this would be delicious, but they are a gluten free family. Do you think substituting GF flour would be possible? Thanks!
6. Cyd says:

   It should be fine. The recipe only calls for 1/2 cup.
7. Tiffany says:

   Is it really 2665 calories per serving?!?!? It looks sooo good. Please tell me this was a typo....
8. Cyd says:

   Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We sent it on to our technical support to check it out.
9. Amanda says:

   Hi, I'm in the process of making this right now for supper tonight, can't wait to see if it tastes as good as it looks.
10. Lesta Sims says:

    Made this and it is great! I cheated though...I had cube steak thawed out and had to use it, so I cut it into 1" pieces and used it. Hubby loved it! If it was that good using cube steak, I can only imagine how good it is with roast tips! ;) This recipe is a keeper! But then again, what recipe on this site isn't!? Thanks again!
11. JACK ALWARD says:

    Thanks very much that was a 10 star meal. and very east to follow recipe . I will be back soon . Again thanks.
12. Laurie says:

    What size whole sirloin roast would you recommend using. And what kind of mushrooms work the best in this?
13. Cyd says:

    You need 3 to 4 pounds of sirloin tips, so if using a roast you would want it to be about that same weight. Any sliced mushrooms in the produce section will work great.
14. Yvette says:

    I need to make this for a crowed of 20 ppl how would measurements change? Or just double everything? I know beef broth what is condensed beef broth I never seen that?
15. Cyd says:

    Just double everything for feeding a larger crowd. You may need to use more than one slow cooker if it's more than 2/3 full after doubling. Campbell's makes a condensed beef broth. But here is how you can substitute regular beef broth - About Condensed beef broth Beef broth which has been reduced down so it is stronger than regular strength broth. Campbell's makes condensed chicken and beef broth and it can be found in the soup isle of most grocery stores. Substitute for Condensed beef broth For 1 cup of condensed broth, simmer 1 1/2 cups regular strength broth and reduce to 1 cup. So you would need to adjust accordingly to your measurements if you are doubling the recipe.
16. Clara says:

    I made this recipe today, I follow all the steps and did a reduction in the beef both since my store don't carry it, I loved the taste, but it was very soggy, the last step when I'm supposed to add the corn starch, the meet had no water or juice to drain it was dry! What did I do wrong?
17. Cyd says:

    Hi Clara, not sure what you could have done wrong. There should be plenty of liquid with the whole can of beef broth added along with other liquids.
18. Krystle says:

    I'm planning on making this for my family tomorrow. We have early church and was wondering of it would work to dip the meat In flour and brown it the night before and then place everything else in the crock pot in the morning?
19. Cyd says:

    That should work just fine.
20. marie says:

    U put a recipe on fb for pull apart pumpkin breakfast bread but recipe did not show up is there anyway u can repost recipe please??
21. Paula says:

    Hi I don't like using a crock pot can I cook this in the oven or on stove top?
22. Cyd says:

    Hi Paula, you should be fine cooking this in the oven. You'll want a nice pot with a lid.
23. Cyd says:

    Here is the link on our website - https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2016/10/pumpkin-pull-apart-breakfast-bread.html
24. Connie says:

    Would the beef tenderloin be a better cut than the sirloin roast? Or is the sirloin roast a better choice for slow cooking? What is the purpose of the red wine vinegar? I don't have any, but could I use dry red wine?
25. Cyd says:

    Any cuts of beef will work well. We often buy the stew meat and after cooking all day in the slow cooker, it is super moist.
26. Connie says:

    What about the red wine vinegar? What could I substitute for it?
27. Cyd says:

    Hi Connie, I did some searching and reading on the internet. Where this recipe only calls for 2 Tablespoons of Red Wine Vinegar you should be fine substituting. Here is what I found for you..... Substituting vinegar does not alter the taste of the dish substantially. However, this is true only if the recipe demands a little use of vinegar. Balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, rice vinegar can all be substituted for red wine vinegar.

28. Pat says:

    My husband isn't crazy about onions. Any ideas for what else to add? And can I make it without the last step with the cornstarch? Thanks!
29. Cyd says:

    You could totally leave out the onions if you don't like them. You could also add in an envelope of onion soup mix for flavor. The cornstarch and water at the end thickens up the liquid to make a gravy. You could skip that last step if you don't want your liquid to be thick.
30. Kat says:

    Can you cook on high to speed up cook time? If so how many hours?
31. Kim says:

    Have you eever done this without browning the meat first?
32. Cyd says:

    We often make this without browning the beef tips first. They cook all day in the slow cooker, so they will be cooked through.
33. Alex says:

    Can I make without the mushrooms? Or used something in its place... my boys don’t like mushrooms. Thanks!
34. Cyd says:

    You can just leave the mushrooms out all together if the family doesn't like them.
35. lori says:

    My cooking skills are average at best, however I am capable of making good meals. Is this dish have a good chance of turning out good for the average cook?
36. Cyd says:

    Hi Lori. I made this last Sunday for dinner. It really is so easy to make and the slow cooker basically does all the work. I didn't even do step #3 in the instructions. I put the floured meat tips directly into the slow cooker. (So I didn't use any olive oil since I didn't brown the tips.) Let it cook all day on low and it was amazing. You should be fine making this recipe! Let us know if you have any other questions.
37. Betty says:

    Next time I am leaving out the vinegar. It just doesn't taste right in a dish like this. It was just okay.
38. Cyd says:

    Hi Betty. You could easily leave out the vinegar. Have a great week.
39. sandra workman says:

    Could I prep this and put it all together as a freezer meal?
40. Momma Cyd says:

    Yes, this recipe would work as a freezer meal.
41. Lineti says:

    We’ve made this dish twice already since the video on IGTV (visuals help me TREMENDOUSLY! 😉) love it 😋

    
42. Sue from MA says:

    We loved this recipe in the instant pot. It was delicious!!

    
43. M L says:

    There is no instruction for when to add the condensed broth. I imagine it is with the ketchup mix.
44. MelissaP says:

    You mentioned Instapot directions in the video. Would you mind sharing where they are? I’m assuming everything the same except instead of slow cooking, pressure cook a certain timeframe? Or slow cook partial and finish off pressure cooking?
45. Momma Cyd says:

    Scroll all the way down to the instructions and ingredients and it's in step #5.
46. Sharon Harrington says:

    The recipe never mentions when to add the condensed beef broth.
47. Momma Cyd says:

    In step #5 in the recipe card it says to add the broth. Hope this helps.
48. Laurie P says:

    Hi! I am planning to make this tomorrow!! I got pre sliced angus sirloin tip steaks.....is this type of meat good for this recipe? Thank you! Laurie
49. Laurie P says:

    Update: I made this with the sirloin tip cut of meat and it was absolutely delicious - in case anyone else is wondering!! Laurie
50. Momma Cyd says:

    So sorry I am a little late to the game! Yes it should work great, and you already let us know that it turned out amazing!!!
51. Deb Lawrence says:

    Could I prepare everything (but the noodles of course) and freeze it to cook it in the crock pot 5 days later? We’re going on vacation and would like the mess at home before we go.
52. Momma Cyd says:

    Yes, this makes a great freezer meal.
53. Chris H says:

    Can you cook on high to speed up cook time? If so how many hours?
54. Momma Cyd says:

    Low and slow is always best for moist and tender meat. But if you need to do in on high temp, it would take about 3-4 hours.
55. Vinny says:

    I don't see the step that adds the beef broth. When is it added?
56. Momma Cyd says:

    Scroll down to the recipe card and it's in step #5.
57. Karen says:

    Hi, how long would you cook this if using an instant pot? Believe I heard you say a half hour on your Facebook video?
58. Lori N says:

    Just put this in the crockpot for dinner but realized too late that I used regular beef broth instead of condensed. Oh well. I’ll remember that for next time. Hoping it will be good.
59. Melissa says:

    If I were going to bake this in the oven (with stew meat), how long should I bake it, and at what temperature?
60. Momma Cyd says:

    The temperature of the slow cooker depends on the model. The slow cooker has a temperature of 190 - 200 degrees F. while on the low setting. The temperature ranging between 200-205 degrees Fahrenheit is the optimum cooking temperature on your slow cooker. So your oven would need to be at that temp and follow the instructions as directed in the recipe. You would want to use a good pan too.
61. Momof5 says:

    My family devoured this. This was honestly the best tasting "pot roast" recipe I've tried.

    
62. Momma Cyd says:

    Yay! So glad to hear that the family liked the Beef Tips and Gravy!
63. Stephanie says:

    Hi. Can’t wait to try this recipe on my new instant pot. Can I skip the browning for the IP? Or will it taste better if I brown the meet? Other than that I follow the same steps as the recipe above? What’s a substitue for seasoned salt? Oh and for 1.5 pounds of meat everything else should be divided in 2 but the time? Thank you
64. Momma Cyd says:

    We have the recipe for the instant pot - https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/instant-pot-beef-tips-and-gravy-recipe/
