Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast, trimmed and cut into 2.5 cm cubes
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups beef broth
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- Additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by patting the beef cubes dry using paper towels. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the beef cubes in the seasoned flour until they are evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, ensuring they are well-seared on all sides, and then transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes or until it becomes golden. Afterward, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Transfer this mixture to the slow cooker.
- Pour in the beef broth, then add the sliced mushrooms and dried thyme to the slow cooker. Stir the mixture to combine the beef and aromatics evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 4 hours, or until the beef is extremely tender.
- Once the beef is tender, stir in the egg noodles and dried parsley. Reduce the heat to LOW and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the noodles are just al dente. Finally, season with additional salt and pepper to taste, and allow the dish to rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
