A comforting and creamy beef stroganoff made effortlessly in a slow cooker, perfect for cozy dinners with tender beef and rich mushroom sauce served over egg noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream (full fat preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces egg noodles or wide pasta

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the chuck roast and cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches for 3-4 minutes per batch until a rich crust forms. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Cook chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and start to brown, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Add the sautéed onion, garlic, and mushrooms on top of the browned beef in the slow cooker. Pour in 2 cups beef broth. Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce gently to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, mix 2 tablespoons flour with a few tablespoons cold water to make a smooth slurry.
  7. Remove the lid and stir in the flour slurry. Cover again and cook on high for 20-30 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Turn off the slow cooker and let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup sour cream gently to keep sauce creamy without curdling.
  9. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions, drain and keep warm.
  10. Serve the creamy beef stroganoff over the noodles, garnish with fresh parsley, and season with extra salt and pepper if needed.

Notes

Brown the beef before slow cooking to add deep flavor. Stir sour cream in off the heat to prevent curdling. Use a flour slurry to thicken sauce evenly. Add extra broth or milk if sauce is too thick. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch and use gluten-free noodles or spiralized veggies.
