Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces (preferably chuck roast)
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced (or white button mushrooms)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour if needed)
- 1 cup sour cream (full-fat or light)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- Salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
- 12 ounces egg noodles, cooked separately (or mashed potatoes as alternative)
Instructions
- Pat dry the beef stew meat with paper towels to help with browning if you choose to sear (optional). Slice mushrooms, dice onion, and mince garlic. (About 10 minutes)
- Place beef, mushrooms, onion, and garlic into the crockpot. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Sprinkle flour evenly over the top and gently stir to combine. (About 5 minutes)
- Cover and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours until beef is fork-tender and sauce thickens naturally.
- About 15 minutes before serving, stir in softened butter and sour cream until smooth and creamy. Warm through gently on low to avoid curdling.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Cook egg noodles according to package instructions, drain and keep warm.
- Serve the creamy beef stroganoff over the noodles, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy immediately.
Notes
[‘Searing beef before slow cooking is optional but adds caramelized depth of flavor.’, ‘Sprinkle flour evenly before stirring to avoid clumps and ensure smooth sauce.’, ‘Add sour cream near the end to prevent curdling; temper with hot sauce if needed.’, ‘Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain heat and cooking time.’, ‘If sauce is too thin after cooking, cook uncovered on high for 15-20 minutes to reduce.’, ‘Leftovers store well in fridge up to 3 days and freeze well; reheat gently with broth to loosen sauce.’]
