Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray, if desired.
In the casserole dish, combine the uncooked long-grain white rice, cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, beef broth, and the onion soup mix. Stir until well combined.
Evenly distribute the boneless beef stew meat over the rice mixture, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil. Ensure it is sealed well to trap in the steam, as this is key to the 'no peek' method.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Do not remove the foil or peek during this time, as it will release the steam needed to cook the rice and tenderize the meat.
After the cooking time is complete, remove the casserole dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before removing the foil.
Give the casserole a gentle stir, then serve warm. Enjoy your flavorful, fuss-free 'No Peek Casserole'!
