Instructions
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Brown the cubed steak on all sides for 3-5 minutes. Transfer the browned steak to the slow cooker.
In the same skillet, add flour and stir into the leftover steak drippings. Cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in the tomato paste and gradually add 1 cup of beef broth, whisking to avoid lumps. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
Add the remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, onion soup mix, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir everything to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the steak is tender.
About 20 minutes before the soup is done, cook the ditalini pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Once the soup is ready, stir in the cooked ditalini pasta just before serving. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Notes
For extra flavor, add chopped carrots, celery, or mushrooms to the slow cooker with the beef.
