4 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, sliced
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Trim excess fat from the beef and cut into large chunks. Season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef chunks until browned on all sides.
Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker and add chopped onions, minced garlic, sliced carrots, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the beef is fork-tender.

Gently fold cooked noodles into the slow cooker with the beef mixture. Add reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
