Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Our beef stroganoff recipe is an easy take on the classic dish that uses the slow cooker. It's a largely hands-off recipe and makes a rich, delicious dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and cut into thin slices (about ½ inch thick and 3 inches long)
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1 pound white mushrooms, trimmed and halved (or quartered, if large)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.5 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Cooked thin egg noodles, for serving
- Chopped fresh dill, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1Combine beef, onion, and mushrooms: In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, toss beef, onion, and mushrooms with 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt and teaspoon pepper.
- 2Cook: Cover, and cook on low until meat is tender, about 8 hours (or on high for 6 hours).
- 3Make cornstarch slurry and thicken sauce: In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Ladle 1 cup cooking liquid into measuring cup; whisk to combine. Pour into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute.
- 4Add cornstarch mixture, then sour cream and mustard: With slow cooker turned off, stir in cornstarch mixture, then sour cream and mustard. Serve beef over noodles; sprinkle with dill, if desired.
