A comforting and easy slow cooker beef stroganoff recipe featuring tender beef, earthy mushrooms, and a creamy sour cream sauce, perfect for cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cut into 1-inch cubes. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Clean and slice the cremini mushrooms.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches and brown each side for 2-3 minutes until a deep brown crust forms. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add diced onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add garlic and mushrooms, cooking for another 5 minutes until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Transfer the sautéed onions, garlic, and mushrooms over the beef in the slow cooker.
  5. In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and flour until smooth and no lumps remain.
  6. Pour the broth mixture over the beef and veggies in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 4 hours until beef is fork-tender and sauce slightly thickened.
  7. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Avoid cooking on high heat after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  8. While stroganoff finishes, cook egg noodles according to package instructions or prepare creamy mashed potatoes.
  9. Spoon the creamy beef stroganoff over noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For best flavor, do not skip browning the beef. Stir in sour cream at the end on low heat to prevent curdling. Use fresh mushrooms for best texture. If sauce is too thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry; if too thick, add broth or water. Can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream or use gluten-free flour for thickening.
