Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup sour cream (full fat recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches, searing until browned on all sides (about 3-4 minutes per batch). Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, add more oil if needed. Sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
  3. Pour beef broth over the beef mixture in the slow cooker. Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  5. About 20 minutes before serving, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente (6-8 minutes). Drain and toss with butter.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and flour until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker during the last 15 minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce. Add a splash of broth or water if sauce is too thick.
  7. Serve the beef stroganoff over the buttery egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Brown the beef well to develop deep flavor. Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain temperature. Mix sour cream and flour thoroughly to avoid lumps. Temper sour cream with hot broth if sauce looks grainy. For gluten-free, substitute flour and noodles accordingly. For dairy-free, replace sour cream with coconut cream or plant-based yogurt.
