Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Tips:
- In a mixing bowl, toss the beef tips with flour until evenly coated. This will help thicken the gravy as the beef cooks.
- Assemble the Crockpot:
- Place the coated beef tips in the crockpot. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Slow Cook the Beef:
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the gravy is rich and flavorful. If you prefer, you can cook on high for 4-5 hours, but cooking on low yields the best results.
- Cook the Noodles:
- About 20 minutes before the beef is done, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Combine and Serve:
- Once the beef is tender, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt if needed. Serve the beef tips over the cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
By following these detailed steps and tips, you’ll create a comforting and satisfying Crockpot Beef Tips & Noodles that’s perfect for any occasion.
Notes
Additional Tips and Notes
- Adjusting Thickness: If the gravy is too thin after slow cooking, you can thicken it by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stirring it into the crockpot. Let it cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes until the gravy thickens.
- Flavor Enhancements: For added depth of flavor, you can add a splash of red wine or a tablespoon of tomato paste to the crockpot before cooking. These ingredients will enrich the gravy and add complexity to the dish.
- Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs like thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves to customize the flavor profile of your beef tips.
