Ingredients
Scale
3 lb beef chuck roast
2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup beef broth
1/2 cup dry white wine, or additional beef broth as substitute
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
12 ounces wide egg noodles
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup grated Gruyère or Swiss cheese, optional
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped, optional
Instructions
Season the beef roast generously with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to slow cooker.
Add onions to the same skillet. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until softened and beginning to caramelize. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
Transfer onions and garlic to the slow cooker, spreading them over the roast.
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, wine, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Pour over the beef and onions in the slow cooker.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender and shreds easily.
Discard the bay leaf. Remove the beef and shred with two forks. Return to the slow cooker and mix with the onion gravy.
Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with butter.
Ladle the shredded beef and onion gravy over buttered noodles. Garnish with grated Gruyère and parsley if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use beef broth instead of white wine.
