This dish pairs wonderfully with a freshly baked loaf of crusty bread to<\/p>\n
soak up the savory gravy. Consider serving it alongside a simple<\/p>\n
green salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness.<\/p>\n
For a true Midwestern touch, add a side of sweet corn or steamed green<\/p>\n
beans with a pat of butter. And don\u2019t forget a slice of homemade pie<\/p>\n
for dessert to complete the meal. It creates a welcoming, uncomplicated dinner that everyone will love.<\/p>\n
Ingredients<\/p>\n
2 lbs of beef stew meat or chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces<\/p>\n
1 onion, finely chopped<\/p>\n
3 cloves of garlic, minced<\/p>\n
4 cups beef broth<\/p>\n
1 tsp salt<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp black pepper<\/p>\n
1 tsp dried thym<\/p>\n
1 tsp dried rosemary<\/p>\n
1 bay leaf<\/p>\n
3 cups egg noodles<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup flour<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup water<\/p>\n
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n
Directions
\n1. 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.<\/p>\n
2. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, beef broth, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf.<\/p>\n
3. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and you\u2019re able to shred it with a fork.<\/p>\n
4. About 30 minutes before serving, remove the bay leaf and add the egg noodles to the slow cooker. Stir to combine with the beef and cooking liquid.<\/p>\n
5. In a small bowl, mix together the flour and water to create a slurry. Stir it into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.<\/p>\n
6. Add the Worcestershire sauce, stir well, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.<\/p>\n
7. Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy the warm, nostalgic flavors.<\/p>\n
