Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb beef stew meat (chuck roast recommended), cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • 8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids and Seasonings

  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces. Slice the onion and mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves to have everything ready for cooking.
  2. Sauté Aromatics (Optional): To deepen the flavor, sauté the sliced onions and minced garlic in a skillet over medium heat until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Combine in Slow Cooker: Place the sautéed onions and garlic, sliced mushrooms, and beef pieces into the slow cooker.
  4. Add Liquids and Seasonings: Pour the low-sodium beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Stir gently to mix everything evenly.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on the low setting for about 6 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  6. Finish with Creaminess: Before serving, stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Heat through briefly if needed, but do not boil once sour cream is added.

Notes

  • For richer flavor, sautéing the onions and garlic before adding them is recommended but not required.
  • Use low-sodium beef broth to control saltiness.
  • Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Do not boil the stroganoff after adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
