Creamy Italian Beef from the Slow Cooker: Recipe full of flavor and simplicity
I took out my slow cooker again. Because this versatile device is perfect for winter and summer times, it's in my kitchen in the winter, stewing slowly until my dish is ready. And in the summer, I put it outside in the shade and still make the tastiest slow-cooked dishes to retain the most flavor. That way the heat stays out.
And this recipe for tender rib eye braised in a creamy sauce is perfect for both summer and winter. Comfort food in winter and a delicious meal outside on the terrace, just like I can enjoy all that delicious food in Italy in a trattoria (an Italian restaurant) in summer. Try it yourself!
What do you need for Italian Beef and Noodles (Slow Cooker Recipe)?
You require the following ingredients to prepare this Crock Pot Beef and Noodles. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Onion and garlic: Seasonings in the sauce.
- Rib eye: A piece of steak with lots of flavor and fat. This makes it juicy and tender. A delicious piece of meat.
- Flour: For thickening the sauce.
- Butter and cream: Make the sauce even creamier.
- Beef broth: To give the sauce a lot of flavor. The best thing is homemade beef broth. If you don't have that, you use broth from a block.
- Red wine: Use a full-bodied red wine with a deep flavor. A Cabernet Sauvignon, or a Bordeaux. You could replace the wine with extra broth, but to be honest, you'll lose some of the flavors that you want to experience.
- Mustard: Adds a little spice to the sauce.
- Tagliatelle: A wide Italian pasta, about ¼ inch (7 mm) wide uncooked. You can buy them dried or fresh.

Tips, Substitutions, and Variations
- Rib eye: This gave such a nice flavor to this dish. But you can also replace it with hachee meat, ribs, or Entrecôte.
- Instead of tagliatelle you can also use fusilli, farfalle or penne.
- Are you short on time? Turn the slow cooker on high for 4 to 6 hours.
- Variations: Add sliced mushrooms or spinach. You add the mushrooms and spinach an hour before you are going to serve the dish.
- Do you want a thicker sauce? Mix two teaspoons of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and add to the slow cooker along with the heavy cream. Turn on high and let it thicken for 20 minutes.
