Serve the tender beef tips and rich gravy over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes, buttered egg noodles, or steamed white or brown rice to soak up all that savory sauce.
For a heartier meal, try serving it over garlic mashed cauliflower or buttered polenta. Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables, steamed green beans, or a crisp garden salad for balance.
Warm buttermilk biscuits or crusty bread are also great for sopping up every last bit of gravy.
For a comforting dinner, finish with a light dessert like peach cobbler, bread pudding, or apple crisp.
