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

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast pieces dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. (10 minutes)
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides in batches, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker. (15 minutes)
  3. In the same skillet, sauté diced onions until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms release moisture and start to brown, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer mixture to the slow cooker. (15 minutes)
  4. Pour 2 cups beef broth, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce over the beef and veggies in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine. (2 minutes)
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  6. About 30 minutes before serving, mix 2 tablespoons flour with a few tablespoons cold water to make a slurry. Stir into the slow cooker, cover, and cook on high until sauce thickens, about 20-30 minutes. (30 minutes)
  7. Turn off the slow cooker and gently stir in 1 cup sour cream. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
  8. Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. (5 minutes)

Notes

Browning the beef and sautéing the vegetables before slow cooking adds significant flavor. Stir in the flour slurry gradually to avoid lumps. Add sour cream only at the end off the heat to prevent curdling. If sauce thickens too much, loosen with broth or water. For gluten-free, use cornstarch instead of flour and serve over gluten-free noodles or cauliflower mash.
