Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef chuck roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until it develops a rich brown crust. Transfer to slow cooker.
  2. Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour beef broth over the beef in the slow cooker. Sprinkle in onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce, and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir gently and set slow cooker to low.
  3. Simmer the Beef: Cover slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours until beef is tender and easily shreds with a fork.
  4. Cook the Egg Noodles: About 30 minutes before serving, shred the beef and return it to the pot along with egg noodles. Cook on high for an additional 10-12 minutes until noodles are tender.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with parsley and Parmesan cheese before serving.
