There’s a dish called Beef Tips in Gravy that my husband and I like from a Farmhouse restaurant in our town. I wanted to recreate it by using Pork. To change it up a bit I decided to used the packet of Ranch seasoning that I was saving for Slow Cooker Pepperoncini Pork Sandwich. I keep forgetting to grab a jar of Mezzetta Peperoncini so I haven’t made it yet which worked out fine since I used the packet for this dish instead.

You can also make this in a Crock-Pot. Refer to the NOTES in the Recipe for instructions. If you’re cooking it in the crock-pot, remember to do this early on in the morning because it will take longer to cook, either in LOW or HIGH method.

As the picture shows, this Ranch Pork Tips is best served on a bed of rice or mashed potatoes. I would pick rice, personally. ☺️🍚

Print Recipe

Ingredients

1-2 pounds pork butt roast (cut in medium chunks)
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/2 onion (chopped)
1 packet Ranch dressing seasoning
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup Ranch salad dressing
3 cups water divided
1 tbsp dried Italian herbs
sprinkle of salt & pepper
chopped celery leaves(or scallions as garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 355°. In a measuring cup, mix together 2 cups of water with sprinkle of salt & pepper and dried Italian herbs. Save 1 cup of water aside.
Season the pork chunks with salt & pepper then coat and stir with flour.
Heat up oil in the Dutch Oven. Saute garlic and onions for a minute or 2.
Add the seasoned pork tips into the pot to brown slightly. About 5-8 minutes.
Add the powdered Ranch seasoning.
Then the Ranch salad dressing.
Add the water and dried herbs mixture.
And the remaining 1 cup of water.
Stir everything together. Cover the pot. Stick it in the preheated oven to cook for 3 hours.
After 3 hours of cooking, carefully take out the Dutch Oven pot out of the oven. Use oven gloves/mitts.
Stir the Pork Tips and gravy together before transferring into a bowl to serve.

Notes

CROCK-POT METHOD: Do step 1 except preheating the oven. Proceed to step 2 then step 3 but use a pan or a cast iron skillet. Do not sautee the onions and garlic, just brown the pork tips for 5-8 minutes. Transfer the whole thing into your crock-pot. Do steps 5, 6, and 7. DO NOT add the remaining 1 cup of water. Add the onions and garlic on top. Cover your crock-pot and set it to LOW or HIGH depending on what time you are cooking. LOW if you start at 9 or 10am. HIGH if you start at 11am.
