Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles

Step 2: Add the Sauce Ingredients

1. In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
2. Pour in beef broth, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, and sprinkle in thyme and paprika.
3. Bring to a simmer for 1–2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the pan (these add flavor).
4. Pour the mixture over the beef in the crockpot.

Step 3: Cook in the Crockpot

1. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
2. Optional: For thicker gravy, mix 2 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir into the crockpot about 30 minutes before the end of cooking.

Step 4: Prepare the Noodles

1. About 15 minutes before serving, cook egg noodles in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente (usually 7–8 minutes).
2. Drain and toss with butter if desired for extra richness.

Step 5: Combine & Serve

1. Serve the tender beef and gravy over the warm egg noodles.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for color and flavor.
3. Enjoy with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

• Browning Beef: Don’t skip this step — it adds depth of flavor to the gravy.
• Noodle Timing: Cook noodles just before serving to prevent them from getting mushy in the gravy.
• Make-Ahead: You can prepare the beef and sauce in the morning; the crockpot does the work while you’re busy.
• Thickening Gravy: For extra richness, you can also stir in a splash of heavy cream at the end.
