Instructions

Place the beef stew meat, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the crockpot.
Whisk together beef broth, red wine (if using), Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Pour the mixture over the beef in the crockpot.
Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
Mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir into the crockpot.
Cook on high for an additional 20-30 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Serve the beef tips and gravy over the cooked egg noodles.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

You can substitute egg noodles with mashed potatoes, rice, or wide pappardelle pasta.

For richer flavor, add mushrooms along with onions and garlic.

To skip alcohol, leave out red wine and add a splash of balsamic vinegar.

Adding carrots or celery sticks can add vegetable goodness.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheat beef tips gently in a saucepan, adding beef broth if needed; reheat noodles separately.
