A rich and velvety slow cooker beef stroganoff recipe that’s easy to prepare and perfect for cozy dinners. Tender beef simmers slowly in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and onions, served over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz fresh cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut into 1-inch pieces. Chop the onion, mince garlic, and slice mushrooms. This should take about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef pieces in batches—not to overcrowd the pan—and sear until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer beef to the slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook over medium heat until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Scrape any browned bits from the pan into the slow cooker.
  4. Pour 2 cups beef broth into the slow cooker. Stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour over the mixture and stir well to combine. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until beef is tender and sauce has thickened. If the sauce is too thin near the end, remove the lid and cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, gently stir in 1 cup sour cream to avoid curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Spoon creamy beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Brown the beef before slow cooking to add depth of flavor. Add sour cream near the end off heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thin, cook uncovered for last 30 minutes. Leftovers thicken when cooled; add broth or water when reheating. Can be adapted for gluten-free and dairy-free diets.
