Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Recipe
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Ingredients
To make this recipe, you will need olive oil, beef stew meat, salt, black pepper, mushrooms, onion, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, corn starch, egg noodles, sour cream, cream cheese and fresh parsley.
How Do You Make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff?
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium high heat. Season the meat, then add it to the pan. Cook the meat for a few minutes on each side until it is golden brown, then transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic to the pan and cook until tender. Add the veggies to the crock pot with the beef, along with beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Let the meat and vegetables cook until tender. Whisk together the corn starch and the rest of the beef broth. Add the beef broth mixture to the crock pot and cook until the sauce starts to get thick. Stir in the sour cream, cream cheese and some salt and pepper. Pour cooked egg noodles into the slow cooker and stir to combine everything. Add the parsley on top, then serve and enjoy.
Tips For The Perfect Dish
You can use cuts of beef such as
beef stew meat
or a chuck roast cut into 2-inch pieces. This type of well marbled meat will turn out fall apart tender after a long trip through the slow cooker. It’s also possible to use cuts such as strip or sirloin steak, although this is a more expensive option.
If you’re short on time, you can
skip the browning of the meat and vegetables
. That being said, this step does add a lot of extra flavor so I would encourage you to take the time to do it.
I recommend using full fat
sour cream and cream cheese
. The low fat varieties will not melt as well into the sauce.
Leftovers will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for
up to 3 days
. I don’t recommend freezing this dish due to the dairy content.
Recipe FAQs
What is beef stroganoff sauce made of?
Beef stroganoff sauce is made with beef broth, flavorings such as garlic and herbs, Worcestershire sauce and sour cream. My version adds cream cheese to extra flavor and to help thicken the sauce.
What cut of meat is best for beef stroganoff?
I typically use chuck roast or beef stew meat for beef stroganoff. Another great option would be brisket. You’re looking for beef that has marbling and will tenderize when cooked slowly over time in a crock pot.
Why is my beef stroganoff chewy?
If the meat in your stroganoff is chewy, it means that it may not have been cooked for long enough. Make sure to cook your beef for the entire time as directed. It’s also important to use a well marbled cut of meat, because the fat will melt as it cooks and make the beef more tender and flavorful.

Flavor Variations
This recipe is delicious as-is, but you can change up the ingredients to customize the flavors to your tastes.
Protein: Stroganoff can be made with other cuts of meat such as boneless skinless chicken thighs or pork shoulder.
Vegetables: I typically use button mushrooms, but other great options include cremini, portobello or chanterelle mushrooms. You can also add other veggies such as sliced carrots, or stir in some fresh spinach when you add the dairy.
Pasta: If you don’t have egg noodles, try another short pasta such as rotini, fusilli or penne. Rice will also work in a pinch.
Flavorings: No parsley on hand? Try a different herb such as chives, thyme or even rosemary. You can also stir some Dijon mustard into the sauce.
This slow cooker beef stroganoff is a super easy meal that feels great to come home to. Outside of the house smelling delicious, this is one of my favorite comfort foods. It remains a highly requested dish in our house.

Great recipe!! I will definitely be adding this to our dinner rotation. My husband couldn’t stop eating it!! We barely had any leftovers. I went by the recipe exactly. I didn’t deviate since it was my first time making it, but I really don’t see any reason to tweak the recipe. I give it a 10/10!\!

1/1/25 Very good. Just needed to add a little more broth at the end. Used 1lb of stew meat and it was all done in 3 1/2 hours, in my Ninja slow cooker. Flavor was spot on. Definitely a keeper.

My husband and I loved this dish. I did brown it in a pan and left it in for about 7 hours total. It was creamy and thick, plenty of leftovers. I served it with mashed potatoes and a side salad\!

## Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Ingredients
To make this recipe, you will need olive oil, beef stew meat, salt, black pepper, mushrooms, onion, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, corn starch, egg noodles, sour cream, cream cheese and fresh parsley.
## How Do You Make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff?
Heat the olive oil in a large pan or skillet over medium high heat. Season the meat, then add it to the pan. Cook the meat for a few minutes on each side until it is golden brown, then transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the mushrooms, onions and garlic to the pan and cook until tender. Add the veggies to the crock pot with the beef, along with beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Let the meat and vegetables cook until tender. Whisk together the corn starch and the rest of the beef broth. Add the beef broth mixture to the crock pot and cook until the sauce starts to get thick. Stir in the sour cream, cream cheese and some salt and pepper. Pour cooked egg noodles into the slow cooker and stir to combine everything. Add the parsley on top, then serve and enjoy.

## Tips For The Perfect Dish
- You can use cuts of beef such as **beef stew meat** or a chuck roast cut into 2-inch pieces. This type of well marbled meat will turn out fall apart tender after a long trip through the slow cooker. It’s also possible to use cuts such as strip or sirloin steak, although this is a more expensive option.
- If you’re short on time, you can *skip the browning of the meat and vegetables*. That being said, this step does add a lot of extra flavor so I would encourage you to take the time to do it.
- I recommend using full fat **sour cream and cream cheese**. The low fat varieties will not melt as well into the sauce.
- Leftovers will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for *up to 3 days*. I don’t recommend freezing this dish due to the dairy content.

## Recipe FAQs
**What is beef stroganoff sauce made of?**
Beef stroganoff sauce is made with beef broth, flavorings such as garlic and herbs, Worcestershire sauce and sour cream. My version adds cream cheese to extra flavor and to help thicken the sauce.
**What cut of meat is best for beef stroganoff?**
I typically use chuck roast or beef stew meat for beef stroganoff. Another great option would be brisket. You’re looking for beef that has marbling and will tenderize when cooked slowly over time in a crock pot.
**Why is my beef stroganoff chewy?**
If the meat in your stroganoff is chewy, it means that it may not have been cooked for long enough. Make sure to cook your beef for the entire time as directed. It’s also important to use a well marbled cut of meat, because the fat will melt as it cooks and make the beef more tender and flavorful.

## Flavor Variations
This recipe is delicious as-is, but you can change up the ingredients to customize the flavors to your tastes.
- Protein: Stroganoff can be made with other cuts of meat such as boneless skinless chicken thighs or pork shoulder.
- Vegetables: I typically use button mushrooms, but other great options include cremini, portobello or chanterelle mushrooms. You can also add other veggies such as sliced carrots, or stir in some fresh spinach when you add the dairy.
- Pasta: If you don’t have egg noodles, try another short pasta such as rotini, fusilli or penne. Rice will also work in a pinch.
- Flavorings: No parsley on hand? Try a different herb such as chives, thyme or even rosemary. You can also stir some Dijon mustard into the sauce.

This slow cooker beef stroganoff is a super easy meal that feels great to come home to. Outside of the house smelling delicious, this is one of my favorite comfort foods. It remains a highly requested dish in our house.
