Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds beef chuck or stew meat
Gravy Enhancers:
- 1 packet onion soup mix
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 2 cups beef broth
Flavor Boosters:
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces egg noodles
Instructions
- Place beef tips in slow cooker, sprinkling with minced garlic and topping with butter cubes for enhanced flavor and moisture.
- Create a savory sauce by combining onion soup mix, cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl.
- Pour the prepared sauce completely over the beef, ensuring every piece is thoroughly coated and submerged in the liquid mixture.
- Set slow cooker to low temperature and allow beef to simmer gently for 7-8 hours, or on high setting for 4-5 hours until meat becomes extremely tender and pulls apart easily.
- During the final hour of cooking, prepare egg noodles according to package directions, ensuring they are cooked al dente and not overly soft.
- Once beef is fork-tender, use two forks to slightly shred and break down the meat pieces within the rich, developed gravy.
- Transfer perfectly cooked noodles to serving plates, creating a soft, welcoming base for the beef and its luxurious sauce.
- Ladle the succulent beef and thick gravy directly over the noodles, making sure each serving receives an ample portion of the hearty mixture.
Notes
- Choose chuck roast or stew meat for maximum tenderness and rich flavor that melts in your mouth during slow cooking.
- Trim excess fat before adding beef tips to reduce greasiness and create a cleaner, more refined sauce texture.
- Consider using low-sodium beef broth to control salt levels, allowing you to adjust seasoning precisely according to your taste preferences.
- For gluten-free variations, substitute regular egg noodles with rice noodles or zucchini noodles and use gluten-free cream of mushroom soup.
