Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) beef stew meat, cubed
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Liquids and Thickeners:
- 2 cups (473 milliliters) beef broth
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) water for slurry
Noodles and Garnish:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) egg noodles
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Combine beef chunks with aromatic seasonings and liquid enhancers in the crockpot, thoroughly mixing all components to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Allow meat to slow-cook at low temperature for 7-8 hours or high temperature for 3-4 hours, enabling proteins to break down and become exceptionally tender.
- Create a smooth flour-based thickening agent by whisking water and flour into a silky consistency, then gently incorporate into the cooking liquid during the final 30 minutes of preparation.
- Simultaneously prepare egg noodles in a separate pot, following package directions and draining when perfectly al dente.
- Once meat reaches a melt-in-your-mouth texture and sauce reaches desired consistency, carefully transfer beef tips atop prepared noodles.
- Enhance presentation by sprinkling freshly chopped parsley over the dish, creating a vibrant visual and aromatic finish before serving piping hot.
Notes
- Create a silky, glossy sauce by whisking the flour slurry thoroughly to prevent lumps, ensuring a smooth coating for the beef.
- Let the meat marinate overnight in the broth mixture to intensify flavors and tenderize the beef more deeply before slow cooking.
- For a gluten-free version, swap wheat flour with cornstarch or arrowroot powder and use gluten-free tamari instead of traditional soy sauce.
- Elevate the dish’s richness by adding a splash of red wine or a pat of butter during the final 30 minutes of cooking for extra depth and complexity.
