Ingredients
Scale:
2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth (preferably homemade)
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Salt and pepper to taste
12 ounces egg noodles
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (optional)
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed beef and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the browned beef to your Crockpot. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours, until the beef is tender.
In the final 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the egg noodles and frozen mixed vegetables if using.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water until smooth. Stir into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Once done, stir gently and adjust seasoning if necessary. Ladle the beef and noodles into bowls and enjoy.
