A comforting and easy slow cooker beef stroganoff with tender egg noodles, featuring a rich, creamy sauce made with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and sour cream.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Trim any excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels. (10 minutes)
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Cook until softened and golden, about 6-8 minutes. Add minced garlic during the last minute. (10 minutes)
  3. Optionally, brown the beef cubes in the same skillet in batches for about 2 minutes per side to add flavor. (10 minutes)
  4. Add the browned beef (or raw if skipping browning), sautéed mushrooms and onions, beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine. (5 minutes)
  5. Cover and cook on low for 5 to 6 hours, or until beef is fork-tender. Avoid lifting the lid too often. (5-6 hours)
  6. About 20 minutes before the stroganoff finishes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside. (20 minutes)
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and sour cream until smooth. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Heat gently without boiling. (15 minutes)
  8. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve the creamy beef stroganoff over the tender egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. (5 minutes)

Notes

Brown the beef if possible to add depth of flavor. Add sour cream at the end to prevent curdling. Use fresh mushrooms and sauté them first to intensify flavor. Cook noodles al dente and toss with butter or oil to prevent sticking. Adjust seasoning gradually. If sauce is too thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry.
