Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 500–700g beef (stew meat or ground beef)
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 2 cups egg noodles (uncooked)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional, for extra depth)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins:
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon butter (for richness)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
Start by slicing your onions into thin strips and mincing the garlic. If you’re using stew beef, cut it into bite-sized pieces. This helps the meat cook evenly and become tender.
Step 2: Brown the Beef (Optional but Recommended)
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and quickly sear the beef until browned on the outside.
Why this matters: Browning adds a deeper, richer flavor to the final dish. While you can skip this step, it makes a noticeable difference.
Step 3: Layer in the Slow Cooker
Place the sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker. Then add:
- The browned (or raw) beef
- Garlic
- Worcestershire sauce
- Soy sauce (if using)
- Seasonings
Pour the beef broth over everything.
