A comforting and creamy slow cooker beef stroganoff with tender beef and egg noodles, perfect for busy days and cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced (button mushrooms can be used)
  • 2 cups (16 fl oz) beef broth, low sodium preferred
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz) full-fat sour cream (Greek yogurt can be substituted for lighter version)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free rice flour)
  • 12 ounces egg noodles (wide, flat noodles; fresh or dried)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes in batches for 4-5 minutes per batch until all sides are browned. Transfer beef to slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil if needed. Sauté diced onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and minced garlic; cook until mushrooms are soft and browned, about 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to slow cooker.
  3. Pour 2 cups beef broth into slow cooker. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Sprinkle flour evenly over ingredients and 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 and sauce thickened. If sauce is too thin near end, mix 1 tablespoon flour with cold water to make slurry, stir in, and cook an additional 15-20 minutes.
  5. About 15 minutes before serving, cook egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  6. Stir sour cream into stroganoff sauce in slow cooker. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Do not boil after adding sour cream; warm gently.
  7. Serve stroganoff over warm egg noodles and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

Brown the beef before slow cooking to develop flavor. Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thin, use a flour slurry to thicken. Can be adapted for vegetarian or low-carb diets. Freeze beef mixture before adding sour cream for best texture when reheating.
