Beef Stroganoff

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

Stroganoff Sauce Ingredients:

Prepare the classic Stroganoff sauce with a delightful blend of sour cream, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Elevate the flavor profile with the addition of ingredients like onions, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and mushrooms.

Ideal Beef Cuts:

Opt for tender cuts such as sirloin or tenderloin for an exquisite and succulent texture that holds up well in the slow cooker.

Searing for Flavor:

Enhance the richness by searing the beef before slow cooking. While optional, this step contributes to a golden-brown crust and intensified flavors.

Quick Method:

Short on time? Skip the searing and add the beef directly to the slow cooker. The dish remains delicious, even without this step.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Ingredients:
   • 2 pounds beef strips
   • 1 finely chopped onion
   • 2 minced garlic cloves
   • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
   • 1 cup beef broth
   • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
   • 1 cup sour cream
   • Salt and pepper to taste
   • 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
2. Steps:
   • Optionally, sear beef strips in a hot pan; then transfer to the slow cooker.
   • Add onions, garlic, mushrooms, beef broth, and Dijon mustard to the slow cooker.
   • Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
   • About 30 minutes before serving, mix flour with water and stir into the slow cooker to thicken the sauce.
   • Stir in sour cream just before serving.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Thickening Tip:

Create a smooth paste with 2 tablespoons of flour and water to thicken the sauce. Stir this into the slow cooker 30 minutes before serving.

Storage:

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave.

Serving Suggestions:

• Pair with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
