Crockpot Beef Tips and Noodles Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • Beef tips or stew meat: About 2 pounds. Go for tender lean cuts for the best results.
  • Onion: One large diced. Adds sweetness and depth to the dish.
  • Garlic: Two cloves minced. Garlic makes everything better, doesn’t it?
  • Beef broth: 3 cups to create that rich, savory sauce.
  • Cream of mushroom soup: 1 can for extra creaminess.
  • Worcestershire sauce: 2 tablespoons for a hint of tang.
  • Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon for added depth and a touch of umami.
  • Cornstarch: 2 tablespoons mixed with water for thickening.
  • Egg noodles: 12 ounces cooked separately. These soak up all the delicious sauce.
  • Salt and pepper: To taste.
  • Parsley: Optional for garnish. A sprinkle of green makes it look extra inviting.

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Crockpot

  • Start by placing the beef tips in your crockpot. Sprinkle them with salt and pepper, and add the diced onion and minced garlic. If you’re like me and love garlic, feel free to add an extra clove or two. This is the foundation of the dish, so make sure to season it well.

Step 2: Mix the Sauce

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour this mixture over the beef tips. This is where all the magic begins! The combination of these ingredients creates a sauce that’s rich, flavorful, and downright irresistible.

Step 3: Slow Cook

  • Set your crockpot to low and let it cook for 6-8 hours. If you’re short on time, you can cook it on high for 3-4 hours, but trust me—the longer it cooks, the better it tastes. The beef will become incredibly tender, soaking up all those amazing flavors. It’s like the crockpot is doing all the hard work for you while you go about your day.

Step 4: Thicken the Sauce

  • About 30 minutes before serving, mix the cornstarch with a bit of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the crockpot to thicken the sauce. Let it cook for the remaining time, stirring occasionally. This step transforms the broth into a luscious gravy that coats every bite perfectly.

Step 5: Cook the Noodles

  • While the sauce thickens, cook your egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside. You’ll want to have these ready to soak up all that delicious sauce.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

  • Once everything is ready, ladle the beef and sauce over a plate of noodles. Sprinkle with parsley if you’re feeling fancy. Grab a fork, and enjoy the ultimate comfort food experience. Trust me, this is the kind of meal that brings everyone to the table with a smile.
