In a 5-quart slow cooker, whisk together dry onion soup mix, reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth until combined, allowing lumps to dissolve during cooking.

Remove beef from slow cooker and set aside. Pour 2 cups of cooking liquid from the slow cooker into the roux, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat until thickened.

Return thickened gravy to slow cooker, add beef tips back in, and stir gently to coat. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles.
