How It Comes Together
Prep the beef – Trim excess fat and season generously with salt and pepper.
Build flavor – While optional, searing the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker deepens the overall taste.
Set it and forget it – Add beef, broth, onion, and seasonings to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours.
Add noodles – About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the egg noodles. They’ll cook directly in the flavorful broth and absorb all that deliciousness.
Serve and enjoy – Ladle into bowls, top with fresh parsley, and serve alongside crusty bread or steamed vegetables.
Tips for the Best Results
Choose the right cut: Tougher cuts like chuck or brisket become wonderfully tender when cooked slowly.
Thicken the sauce: If you prefer a gravy-like consistency, whisk in a cornstarch slurry near the end of cooking.
Make it ahead: This dish reheats beautifully, making it ideal for leftovers or freezing.
