Beef and Broth
- 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Mushrooms and Butter
- 12 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
Sauce and Thickening
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sour cream
To Serve
- Egg noodles or pasta, cooked according to package instructions
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Prepare the Mushrooms and Garlic: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced cremini mushrooms and minced garlic, sautéing until the mushrooms are golden and fragrant. Set aside the garlic butter mushrooms for later.
- Brown the Beef: Season the bite-sized beef chuck pieces with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, brown the beef on all sides to lock in flavor and add color.
- Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker: Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker. Add chopped onions, beef broth, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine evenly.
- Slow Cook to Perfection: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender and infused with flavorful broth.
- Thicken the Sauce and Add Sour Cream: About 30 minutes before serving, mix the flour with a little water to form a slurry. Stir this into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce. Then fold in the sour cream and the garlic butter mushrooms, stirring gently to combine and heat through.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Serve stroganoff generously spooned over the noodles and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
- Brown your beef to add depth and complexity to the dish.
- Use fresh mushrooms for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust cooking times based on your slow cooker; check tenderness after 6 hours on low heat.
- Stir sour cream in last to prevent curdling and maintain a silky sauce.
- Allow the stroganoff to rest for 10 minutes after cooking to let flavors meld.
