Creating Slow Cooker Beef & Noodles is a straightforward process. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a delightful dish ready in no time:

1. Season the Beef: Start by seasoning the beef chunks with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear until browned on all sides. This step enhances flavor.
3. Add Aromatics: Once browned, transfer the beef to the slow cooker. In the same skillet, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add it to the slow cooker.
4. Combine Broth and Seasoning: Pour the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary over the beef and onions in the slow cooker.
5. Add Vegetables: Add sliced carrots and celery to the mixture. Give everything a good stir to mix.
6. Cook: Cover and set the slow cooker to low for 6-8 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, until beef is tender.
7. Prepare Noodles: When the beef is nearly done cooking, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions in a separate pot until al dente. Drain and set aside.
8. Add Peas: With about 30 minutes left in the cooking process, stir in the frozen peas to the slow cooker.
9. Combine Noodles and Beef: Once the beef is tender, add the cooked egg noodles to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
10. Serve: Spoon warm beef and noodles into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
