Ingredients

  • Neutral cooking oil
  • 2 to 2 ½ pounds Beef stew meat or chuck roast (trimmed of fat and cubed)
  • 1 Medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 Garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Beef base like Better Than Boullion
  • 6 cups Low sodium beef broth or stock
  • 12 ounces Extra broad egg noodles
  • 2 ounce Package brown gravy mix
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
  • Cold water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat a large, heavy skillet, like a cast iron, over medium high heat. Drizzle enough oil to lightly cover the bottom of the pan. Pat beef dry with paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Working in batches so you don’t crowd the pan, sear the beef, undisturbed for about 3 minutes per side, or until deeply golden brown. Add additional drizzles of oil as needed while browning the beef. Add browned beef to the crock pot insert
  • Add the onions to the skillet and saute until onions begin to turn translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the beef base followed by a splash of the broth to deglaze the pan, scraping with a wooden spoon.
  • Pour the onions and broth in the pan into the crock pot insert with the beef and pour the remaining broth on top.
  • Cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low 6-8 hours.
  • During the last 30 minutes of cooking, whisk the gravy mix and cornstarch together in a small bowl with just enough cold water to dissolve it. Add this mixture to the crock pot and stir to combine.
  • Add the dry noodles to the crock pot and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook for about 20 minutes, stirring briefly after about 10 minutes of cooking and begin checking for noodle doneness after another 10-20 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
