Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast Suitable for slow cooking
  • 1 piece onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup egg noodles Add 30 minutes before serving
  • 1 cup carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping your onion, slicing your carrots, and mushrooms, as well as mincing your garlic.
  2. If you want extra flavor, you can sear the beef chuck roast in a hot skillet for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. However, this step is optional.
  3. Place the beef in your slow cooker and add the chopped onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and mushrooms.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and soy sauce. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cooking
  1. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for about 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, add the egg noodles to the slow cooker. If you want a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a little water and stir it in before adding the noodles.
  3. Once the cooking time is up, turn off the slow cooker and shred the beef with two forks.
  4. Give everything a good stir, taste for seasoning, and serve hot!
