Description
Whip up a creamy, tender beef stroganoff in your crockpot with this fool‑proof recipe. Perfect for busy nights and family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into ½‑inch strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 ounces sliced button mushrooms
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons all‑purpose flour
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving
Instructions
- Brown the beef. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the beef strips in batches, seasoning with salt and pepper, and sear until browned on all sides. Transfer to the crockpot.
- Sauté aromatics. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until the mushrooms release moisture and start to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour the mixture into the crockpot.
- Build the sauce. In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and flour until smooth. Pour this into the crockpot, ensuring the beef and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Cook low. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
- Finish with sour cream. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or paprika if needed.
- Serve. Ladle the stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and enjoy.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use a mix of beef sirloin and chuck.
- Do not overfill the crockpot; keep it ¾ full to allow proper heat circulation.
- Stir the mixture once halfway through the cooking time to prevent sticking.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or extra broth.
- For a gluten‑free version, replace the flour with cornstarch.
