Ingredients
2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
12 ounces egg noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. Season beef cubes with salt and black pepper.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef on all sides, then transfer to slow cooker.
3. In the same skillet, sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms until softened and fragrant. Add to slow cooker.
4. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in Dijon mustard if using.
5. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until beef is very tender.
6. About 30 minutes before serving, mix flour or cornstarch with a bit of cold water and stir into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
7. Stir in sour cream and adjust seasoning if needed.
8. Cook egg noodles according to package directions; drain.
9. Serve beef stroganoff over egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, deglaze the skillet with a splash of beef broth before adding sautéed vegetables to the slow cooker.
You can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier, lighter sauce.
If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a little extra flour or cornstarch at the end.
