Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat or chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 3 cups egg noodles
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the beef pieces until well-seared on all sides. This step is optional but adds a rich depth of flavor.
  • Transfer the beef to the slow cooker. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and shreds easily with a fork.
  • About 30 minutes before serving, remove the bay leaf and add the egg noodles. Stir to combine.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water to make a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, mix well, and continue cooking for 30 minutes or until the noodles are tender.
  • Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Notes

For even more richness, try stirring in a splash of heavy cream or a handful of frozen peas in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
