Ingredients
Scale
Beef and Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (more if needed)
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast (or stewing beef, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper (more to taste)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetables and Flavorings
- 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
- 12 ounces mushrooms (sliced, white or cremini)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup red wine
Liquids and Sauce
- 2 cups beef broth (divided: 1½ cups and ½ cup)
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
To Serve
- 12 ounces egg noodles (cooked according to package instructions)
Instructions
- Prepare the beef: Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes and trim off any excess fat to ensure tenderness and prevent greasiness.
- Brown the beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. Brown the beef in batches until all sides develop a rich, caramelized crust; this helps build flavor. Deglaze the skillet with red wine to loosen any browned bits and add this liquid to the slow cooker for extra depth.
- Add ingredients to slow cooker: Place the browned beef, garlic powder, diced onion, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sliced mushrooms, and 1½ cups of beef broth into a 6-quart slow cooker.
- Cook the beef: Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours until the beef is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the remaining ½ cup beef broth with cornstarch and stir until smooth. Pour this mixture into the slow cooker, stir well, then cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Finish with sour cream: Stir in the sour cream gently to create a creamy sauce but avoid boiling to prevent curdling.
- Serve: Spoon the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles and serve immediately for a rich, comforting meal.
Notes
- For a thicker sauce, increase cornstarch to 4 tablespoons.
- You can substitute beef chuck with stewing beef or brisket for similar results.
- If you prefer a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream but add it after the stroganoff is off heat.
- Red wine can be omitted if preferred; beef broth alone can be used instead.
- To make this dish gluten-free, substitute the egg noodles with gluten-free pasta or serve over rice.
