  • Total Time: 6 hours 15 minutes to 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Main Ingredients

  • 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 12 ounces egg noodles or choice of pasta
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Beef: Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized pieces, patting it dry to ensure better browning if you choose to sear it beforehand, which enhances flavor.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet, lightly sauté chopped onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, adding mushrooms towards the end to soften them without losing their texture.
  3. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Place the beef chunks, sautéed aromatics, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard in the slow cooker. Sprinkle flour evenly over the ingredients to help thicken the sauce as it cooks.
  4. Slow Cook Low and Slow: Cook on low heat for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Finish with Sour Cream: Stir in the sour cream just before serving to create a creamy, luscious sauce without curdling from the heat.
  6. Cook the Noodles: Meanwhile, cook egg noodles or your preferred pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
  7. Serve: Serve the stroganoff over the noodles and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Sear the beef first to deepen flavor.
  • Don’t skip adding flour to prevent watery sauce.
  • Stir sour cream in off the heat to avoid curdling.
  • Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture.
  • Monitor broth amounts to keep sauce from being runny.
  • Wide egg noodles hold the sauce best.
