Ingredients

Scale

Beef and Broth

  • 2 to 3 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized strips or chunks
  • 2 cups beef broth

Mushrooms and Butter

  • 12 ounces button mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 1 cup sour cream

To Serve

  • Egg noodles or pasta, cooked according to package instructions
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep the Beef and Mushrooms: Cut the beef chuck roast into bite-sized strips or chunks. Clean and slice the mushrooms, then mince the garlic cloves. Proper prep readies the ingredients for the garlic butter mushrooms and tender beef.
  2. Sear the Beef: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef pieces until browned on all sides. This caramelization enhances flavor and richness in the final dish.
  3. Cook Garlic Butter Mushrooms: In the same skillet, melt the butter and cook the minced garlic with the sliced mushrooms until golden and fragrant, infusing the mushrooms with buttery, garlicky flavor.
  4. Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: Transfer the seared beef and garlic butter mushrooms to the slow cooker. Add beef broth, onion powder, garlic powder, and Dijon mustard. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
  5. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the beef is tender and fully infused with the rich flavors.
  6. Finish with Sour Cream: About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream to create a creamy, velvety sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Prepare Your Noodles: While the stroganoff finishes cooking, cook egg noodles or your preferred pasta according to package instructions. Serve the beef stroganoff spooned over hot noodles and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Brown the meat first to enhance flavor — do not skip this step.
  • Add sour cream at the end to prevent curdling and maintain creaminess.
  • Use fresh garlic cloves in the mushrooms for superior flavor compared to garlic powder.
  • Build layers of flavor by adding ingredients in stages rather than all at once.
  • Beef chuck roast is ideal for slow cooking due to its marbling and texture.
  • Slow cook on low heat to ensure tender meat and full absorption of flavors.
