A comforting and easy slow cooker recipe featuring tender beef chuck, sautéed mushrooms, and a rich sour cream sauce, perfect for cozy dinners and family gatherings.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches without overcrowding, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer browned beef to the crockpot. (15 minutes)
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and sauté the sliced mushrooms and diced onion until golden and fragrant, about 6-8 minutes. Add minced garlic for the last minute. (10 minutes)
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste. Gradually stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Let simmer until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. (5 minutes)
  5. Pour the mushroom sauce over the beef in the slow cooker. Mix gently to combine. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until beef is tender and sauce is rich.
  6. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream to create the creamy stroganoff texture. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. (15 minutes)
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Notes

Dry beef well before searing to get a good crust. Sauté mushrooms until moisture evaporates to avoid watery sauce. Add sour cream at the end and avoid boiling to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry (1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp cold water).
