Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 pounds stew meat cut into 1’’ pieces
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup chopped onion
  • 3 cups low sodium beef broth divided
  • 3 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 16 ounces wide egg noodles
  • 1 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt butter. Add stew meat to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Then add chopped onions and garlic. Brown stew meat, do not cook through, just brown on the outside of the meat.
  • Transfer stew meat and onions to a 6 quart crock pot. Then add 2 ½ cups of beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms and dijon mustard. Stir to combine.
  • Cook on high 4-5 hours or low 7-8 hours or until beef is tender.
  • During the last half hour of cooking, combine the remaining ½ cup of beef broth and 3 Tablespoons cornstarch in a small bowl, whisk until smooth, then stir into the crock pot.
  • Cover and cook for the remaining 30 minutes or until thickened.
  • While the crock pot mixture is thickening, prepare egg noodles according to package directions.
  • Stir the sour cream into the beef mixture after it has thickened.
  • Serve over egg noodles.

Notes

  • Browning the meat and sweating the onions and garlic all add flavor to the dish. The beef will caramelize a bit and turn out more tender and juicy. The onions and garlic will release their natural sweetness and punchy flavors. If you skip this step, the recipe will still work, but you’ll miss out on more potential deliciousness. 
  • Since you’re making this in the slow cooker, even tougher cuts of meat will have the time to tenderize. Chuck or round roasts are classic stew meats, but if you want ultra-tender and juicy meat, you can go for rump steak. 
  • To store, transfer the leftover beef stroganoff from the crock pot to an airtight container. Store any leftover egg noodles separately in their own airtight container or resealable plastic bag. Keep both in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • You can fill a resealable freezer bag with the beef stroganoff and store it in your freezer for up to 3 months. When you’re ready, thaw it in the fridge, then reheat it on the stovetop. Don’t save leftover egg noodles. Instead, make fresh ones when you’re reheating the leftovers.
