No Peek Beef Tips are incredibly versatile when it comes to serving options. The rich gravy begs to be paired with something that will soak it all up. Here are some perfect pairings:

• Mashed Potatoes – The classic choice that never disappoints
• Egg Noodles – Wide egg noodles catch all that delicious gravy
• Rice – White or brown rice makes this a complete meal
• Crusty Bread – Perfect for sopping up every last bit of gravy

For vegetables, consider steamed broccoli, green beans, or a simple garden salad to balance the richness of the beef tips.

Refrigerating

Store leftover beef tips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. The flavors often deepen overnight, making leftovers even more delicious!

Freezing

This recipe freezes beautifully. Allow the beef tips to cool completely, then transfer to freezer-safe containers or heavy-duty freezer bags. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Reheating

The best way to reheat No Peek Beef Tips is gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. You can add a splash of beef broth if the gravy has thickened too much during storage.

Microwave reheating works too – use medium power and stir halfway through to ensure even heating. Avoid high heat which can make the beef tough.
