Description
A comforting bowl of slow-cooked beef stroganoff with tender beef, earthy mushrooms, and creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Beef: Start by trimming excess fat from the chuck roast, turning it into bite-sized cubes. Pat each piece dry with paper towels to enhance browning.
- Brown the Beef: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, add the beef cubes, allowing them to sear for about 5 minutes, until well-browned. Remove them and set aside on a plate.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, cooking until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Toss in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms release their juices and start to brown, around 7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Deglaze the Pan: Pour in ½ cup of beef broth, scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet for added flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the browned beef, sautéed onions, garlic, mushrooms, remaining 1½ cups beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and flour to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef becomes fork-tender.
- Finish with Creaminess: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully incorporated, being careful not to boil the mixture to preserve the creaminess.
- Serve and Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot over buttered egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Notes
Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and explore different cuts of beef for varied flavor and texture.
