A cozy, hands-off slow cooker stew featuring tender beef, earthy mushrooms, and a creamy stroganoff sauce, perfect for fall dinners and comforting meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3/4 cup sour cream (full-fat recommended, or Greek yogurt as substitute)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Egg noodles or mashed potatoes, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast cubes dry with paper towels. Toss them in a bowl with 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Place the floured beef cubes into the slow cooker. Add the diced onion, sliced mushrooms, and minced garlic on top. Pour in 2 cups of beef broth, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4-5 hours until beef is tender and mushrooms have released their flavor.
  4. About 20 minutes before serving, stir in 3/4 cup sour cream to add creaminess. If your slow cooker has a warm setting, switch to that after stirring in the sour cream to avoid curdling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  5. Serve the stew spooned over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or creamy polenta. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

If sauce is too thin, mix 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch with cold water and stir in; cook on HIGH for 10-15 minutes before adding sour cream. For gluten-free, substitute flour with cornstarch or gluten-free flour blend. Adding sour cream at the end prevents curdling. Browning beef before slow cooking is optional but adds flavor.
