Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker.

Deglaze the skillet with 1 cup of beef broth, scraping up the bits from the bottom.

Pour the deglazed broth into the crock pot.

Add mushrooms, 1/2 diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, red wine, and the remaining 2 cups of beef broth to the crock pot.

Stir to combine all ingredients in the crock pot.

Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.

About 30 to 40 minutes before serving, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with a small amount of water in a bowl until combined.

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.

Add 12 ounces of dried egg noodles to the crock pot and stir to combine.

Gently press down the noodles to ensure they are covered; add a little water if necessary.

Cover and cook for another 20 to 30 minutes until the noodles are tender.

After the noodles are cooked, stir in 1 cup of sour cream until well combined.
