Description

This Crockpot Beef Stroganoff is a cozy, comforting classic made effortless in your slow cooker. Tender beef simmers all day with onions, garlic, and mushrooms in a rich, savory sauce, then gets finished with tangy sour cream for that signature stroganoff creaminess. Serve it over egg noodles or rice for a hearty family meal that feels like a warm hug in a bowl perfect for busy weeknights or laid-back weekends.

Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Cooked egg noodles or rice, for serving
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

In a large crockpot, add the beef stew meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms.
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and sprinkle in the paprika. Season generously with salt and pepper, then stir well to combine everything.
Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or on HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the beef is very tender.
About 30 minutes before serving, in a small bowl whisk together the sour cream and flour until completely smooth with no lumps.
Stir the sour cream mixture into the crockpot, turn the heat to HIGH if it isn’t already, and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and is gently bubbling.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the beef stroganoff over cooked egg noodles or rice and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For a smoother sauce, you can remove the beef and mushrooms before stirring in the sour cream mixture, then return them once the sauce has thickened.
If your sauce seems too thin after the extra 30 minutes, leave the lid slightly ajar and cook a bit longer to let steam escape and help it reduce.
Use full-fat sour cream to prevent curdling and to keep the sauce rich and velvety.
Taste the sauce at the end and adjust with a splash more Worcestershire or an extra pinch of paprika for deeper flavor.
