- 1 pound (454 grams) mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 large onion (diced)
- 8 ounces (227 grams) egg noodles
Aromatics and Seasonings:
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Liquid and Creamy Elements:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) beef broth
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
Instructions
- Generously coat beef cubes with salt and black pepper, ensuring even seasoning.
- Intensify flavor by searing beef in a scorching skillet until golden brown and caramelized.
- Transfer seared beef, sliced mushrooms, diced onions, and minced garlic into the slow cooker.
- Create a savory liquid blend by whisking beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme in a separate bowl.
- Pour the aromatic liquid mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker, ensuring complete coverage.
- Secure the lid and allow the dish to simmer on low temperature for 7-8 hours or high temperature for 4-5 hours until beef becomes tender and succulent.
- Approximately 30 minutes before serving, gently fold in sour cream until the sauce transforms into a creamy, uniform consistency.
- Simultaneously prepare egg noodles according to package directions, cooking until al dente.
- Plate the luscious beef stroganoff atop the freshly cooked noodles, creating an enticing presentation.
- Optional: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant garnish and added freshness.
Notes
- Enhance beef flavor by using a cast-iron skillet for browning, creating a delicious caramelized exterior that adds depth to the dish.
- Skip sour cream for a lighter version by substituting Greek yogurt or cream cheese, maintaining creamy texture while reducing fat content.
- Make this recipe gluten-free by using cornstarch instead of flour for thickening and replacing egg noodles with zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
- Elevate meal prep by preparing extra portions and freezing in airtight containers for quick weeknight dinners, keeping the stroganoff fresh for up to 3 months.
