Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 kg (2.2 lbs) stew meat
Seasoning Mixes:
- 1 packet lipton onion soup mix
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
Other Ingredients:
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10 ounces)
- 1 can mushrooms, drained (7 ounces)
- 2 cups (500 ml) beef broth
- 300 g (10 ounces) egg noodles
Instructions
- Cube the beef into uniform pieces to ensure consistent cooking and tenderness throughout the dish.
- Gently drain the mushrooms, reserving their natural moisture for added flavor in the sauce.
- Transfer the beef cubes directly into the crockpot, creating an even base layer for optimal heat distribution.
- Evenly sprinkle the Lipton onion soup mix and brown gravy mix over the meat, allowing the seasonings to coat each piece thoroughly.
- Carefully spread the cream of mushroom soup across the beef, creating a rich and creamy foundation for the sauce.
- Distribute the drained mushrooms throughout the crockpot, ensuring they are well-integrated with the meat and sauce.
- Pour the beef broth slowly to maintain the seasoning coverage and help develop a deep, savory flavor profile.
- Secure the crockpot lid and set the temperature to low, allowing the beef to slowly tenderize and absorb the surrounding flavors for 6-8 hours.
- Periodically stir the contents to promote even cooking and prevent any potential sticking or burning.
- Approximately 20 minutes before serving, prepare the egg noodles according to the package instructions, aiming for an al dente texture.
- Once the beef is fork-tender and the sauce has thickened, carefully ladle the beef tips and gravy over the freshly cooked noodles.
- Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add a touch of color and a hint of fresh herbaceous flavor.
Notes
- Slice beef uniformly to ensure even cooking and consistent tenderness throughout the dish.
- Pat beef cubes dry before seasoning to help develop a rich, golden-brown exterior when cooking.
- Use low-sodium broth and seasonings to control salt levels and customize flavor profile for dietary needs.
- Swap egg noodles with gluten-free alternatives like zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice for low-carb and wheat-sensitive diners.
