Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef stew meat
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 large (diced) Onion
- 3 minced Garlic cloves
- 8 ounces (sliced) Mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 12 ounces Egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh parsley
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, season the beef stew meat with salt, black pepper, and sprinkle with flour. Toss to coat evenly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned. Work in batches if necessary and transfer the seared beef into the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then pour in 1/2 cup of the beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom.
Transfer the onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker. Add the remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms, and dried thyme.
Stir to combine all the ingredients in the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
In the final 30 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the gravy.
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, then drain well.
Serve the beef tips and gravy over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
