Steps
1
Slice onion in half, place in an oiled skillet and cook over medium heat until golden brown (3-5 minutes). Add onion and broth ingredients to slow cooker, and cook on low for 6-7 hours.
2
When broth is almost finished, boil noodles in a separate pot until just cooked. Evenly distribute noodles and sliced beef into 4 bowls.
3
Strain broth, and immediately pour into each bowl while still hot.
Note: The heat from the broth will cook the sliced beef, but beef can also be cooked in a skillet if preferred.
4
Add preferred toppings, and enjoy.
