A comforting and easy slow cooker beef stroganoff recipe that delivers tender beef and a creamy sauce perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chuck roast or stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative like almond flour)
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
  • Egg noodles or mashed potatoes, to serve

Instructions

  1. Cut the chuck roast into 1-inch cubes. Toss the beef pieces with 3 tablespoons of flour in a bowl until lightly coated.
  2. Optional: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add sliced onions and mushrooms; cook until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Place the floured beef cubes in the slow cooker. Add the sautéed onions, mushrooms, and garlic on top. Pour in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or until beef is fork-tender. Alternatively, cook on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  5. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream gently until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream.
  6. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Do not add sour cream too early to avoid curdling. Sautéing onions and mushrooms before slow cooking adds depth but can be skipped. For gluten-free, use almond or gluten-free flour. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream with coconut or cashew cream and use vegan butter. Reheat leftovers gently with added broth or water to loosen sauce.
