This Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff recipe is a rich, comforting dinner made with tender beef, mushrooms, and a creamy sauce with sour cream and cream of mushroom soup. After a quick sear, the slow cooker does the rest until the beef is perfectly tender.
Cut the beef into 1" cube and trim off excess fat—season with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive in a large skillet over medium heat, add seasoned beef, and sear each side for 30 seconds in small batches. Remove beef and place in the slow cooker.
Add 3 cups of beef broth to the skillet to deglaze the pan. Then pour into the slow cooker.
Then, add thyme, mushrooms, Worcestershire sauced, Dijon mustard, cream of mushroom soup, and garlic to the slow cooker. Stir until well combined.
Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender.
Thirty minutes before cook time is up. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup of beef broth and cornstarch until there are no lumps. Then whisk in sour cream and pour into the slow cooker.
Serve over egg noodles and enjoy!
Notes
Sear the beef before slow cooking for the best flavor.
Deglaze the pan with broth so all the browned bits become part of the sauce.
Cook egg noodles separately so they don’t absorb the sauce and become mushy.
