Ingredients
  

Beef Stroganoff Base:

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat (or sliced chuck roast)
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 cup beef broth (low-sodium or regular)
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 cup sour cream (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Optional Additions:

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

To Serve:

  • Cooked egg noodles or rice
  • Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Beef:

  • Season the beef with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the beef in batches. Transfer to the slow cooker.

Sauté the Aromatics:

  • In the same skillet, sauté onions and garlic until fragrant (3–4 minutes).
  • Deglaze the pan with a splash of beef broth, then transfer to the slow cooker.

Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker:

  • Add mushrooms, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and rosemary to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  • (Tip: Add tomato paste for extra richness.)

Cook:

  • Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.

Thicken the Sauce:

  • Mix sour cream and flour in a small bowl. Stir into the slow cooker 30 minutes before the cooking time ends. Allow the sauce to thicken.

Serve:

  • Serve over egg noodles or rice, garnished with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Meat Options: Use chuck roast or beef stew meat for the best results. Avoid lean cuts like sirloin.
  • Herb Substitutes: If rosemary isn’t available, use thyme or oregano.
  • Low-Carb Option: Serve over zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid curdling.
