### **Instructions**
1. **Preheat Oven** to 300°F (150°C).
2. **Mix Everything Together** – In a 9×13 baking dish or large casserole, combine the beef tips, brown gravy mix, onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, and water. Stir until well blended.
3. **Cover Tightly with Foil** – This is key. No gaps, no peeking!
4. **Bake for 3 Hours** – Seriously, don’t peek! Just let it do its thing.
5. **Remove from Oven & Serve** – The beef will be fork-tender and swimming in a savory gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for the ultimate comfort food experience.

### **Tips & Variations**
* **Make It Mushroomy:** Add sliced mushrooms before baking for extra umami.
* **Thicker Gravy?** Let it rest uncovered for a few minutes before serving, or stir in a cornstarch slurry at the end.
* **Slow Cooker Version:** Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6–7 hours.

### **Why “No-Peek” Matters**
The foil seal traps all the steam and flavor inside, creating a slow-braise effect that transforms even inexpensive cuts of beef into something incredibly tender and flavorful. Peeking lets out that precious steam—so keep it covered and trust the process.
