Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (preferably low sodium)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and pat dry with paper towels. Optionally, brown the beef cubes in batches in a hot skillet with a bit of oil for about 4 minutes per batch until browned on all sides. Set aside.
  2. Place the browned beef, diced onion, sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard into the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or until the beef is tender and mushrooms have softened. Alternatively, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours if short on time.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream and flour until smooth.
  5. About 30 minutes before serving, stir the sour cream mixture into the slow cooker. Mix well and cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce without curdling.
  6. While the sauce finishes, cook the egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package instructions (usually 7-9 minutes). Drain and keep warm.
  7. Taste the stroganoff and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Serve the creamy beef mixture over the egg noodles and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

Browning the beef before slow cooking adds richer flavor but is optional. Add sour cream mixture near the end to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thick after adding sour cream, stir in a splash of beef broth or reserved pasta water. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch and use gluten-free noodles. Vegetarian version can be made by replacing beef with hearty mushrooms and using vegetable broth.
