Ingredients

2 lbs beef stew meat or beef tips
1 medium onion, diced
3 cups beef broth
1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil
12 oz egg noodles
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef tips with salt and pepper, then sear them in the skillet until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to the Crockpot.
Step 2: In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant. Add them to the Crockpot with the beef.
Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and flour until smooth. Pour this mixture over the beef and onions in the Crockpot.
Step 4: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Step 5: About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Step 6: Serve the beef tips and gravy over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Tips & Variations

For extra richness, add a splash of heavy cream to the gravy before serving.
Substitute egg noodles with wide pappardelle or mashed potatoes for a different base.
If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix an extra tablespoon of flour with cold water and stir into the Crockpot 30 minutes before serving.
You can add sliced mushrooms along with the onions for added flavor and texture.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a little beef broth or water if the sauce has thickened too much. This dish does not freeze well because of the noodles.
