Ingredients

Scale
  • 900 g (2 lbs) beef stew meat (chuck roast or sirloin), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups (475 ml) beef broth
  • 1 cup (250 g) sour cream (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
  • 1 can (300 g/10 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or homemade)
  • 250 g (9 oz) mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thickening)

For Serving:

  • Cooked egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the beef:

  • Place the beef stew meat in the crock pot.
  • Add chopped onion, minced garlic, mushrooms, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

2. Add the liquids:

  • Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using).
  • Stir to combine all ingredients.

3. Slow cook:

  • Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and easy to shred.

4. Thicken the sauce (optional):

  • In the last 30 minutes of cooking, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl.
  • Stir the slurry into the crock pot to thicken the sauce.

5. Finish with sour cream:

  • Stir in the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup, and let it cook for another 15-20 minutes until heated through.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve:

  • Spoon the beef stroganoff over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter, high-protein version.
  • Add fresh thyme or rosemary for extra herb flavor.
  • Swap mushrooms for zucchini or spinach if you’re not a fan of mushrooms.
