You can’t shortcut this kind of flavour!\nThis slow cooked beef melts in your mouth and the depth of flavour in the sauce is magnificent!\nWhat you need for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff\nHere’s what you need to make this incredible slow cooked beef dish! It’s the same ingredients as traditional\nBeef Stroganoff\nexcept using economical stewing beef and more sauce so the beef is submerged while slow cooking!\nUse Chuck Beef or other economical stewing beef. Do not waste your money on pricier cuts like sirloin!\nBest cut of beef for SLOW COOKER Beef Stroganoff\nThis recipe needs to be made with economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender, such as:\nchuck beef\nboneless beef ribs\nbeef cheeks\ngravy beef\nIn contrast, traditional\nBeef Stroganoff\n, which is cooked quickly on the stove, is best made with pricier cuts suitable for cooking as steaks, such as boneless rib eye\/scotch fillet and sirloin.\nJust a few notes on some of the other ingredients:\nSour Cream\n– this is what makes Stroganoff Sauce creamy. It’s added at the end so there’s no risk of it splitting during the slow cooking time;\nDijon Mustard\n– for flavour and thickening, a traditional ingredient in Beef Stroganoff Sauce; and\nFlour\n– thickens the sauce.

The better the browning, the better the flavour in the sauce and on the beef!\nSauté the onion and garlic, mix in the flour;\nAdd everything into the slow cooker (or pot);\nSlow cook 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high (see recipe for stove and IP\/pressure cooker);\nSauté mushrooms in garlic and butter;\nWhisk the sour cream with some of the liquid in the slow cooker – this will ensure you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce (can’t mix vigorously otherwise the beef crumbles!);\nStir mushrooms and sour cream into sauce;\nServe over mash, pasta, egg noodles or even\nrice\n!\nHere’s what it looks like straight out of the slow cooker.\nAnd the beef…..fall apart….. juicy…..sucked up all the flavour of that Stroganoff Sauce…\nI’ve made this as a stew but it could just as easily be transformed into a chunky soup with potatoes and vegetables. That way, it would also be a meal in one, rather than preparing noodles or mash to serve it over.\nI’ve popped notes in the recipe for how to make it into a soup – you just add extra liquid to make the sauce slightly thinner which also increases volume so you can add more “stuff” into it. 😇\nOtherwise, if you’re sticking with the Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff Stew as written, serve it over one of these:\npasta or wide egg noodles (traditional);\nmashed potato (also common for Stroganoff);\nrice\n; or\nlow carb alternatives: \nCreamy Cauliflower Mash\n or \nCauliflower Rice\nEnjoy!\n– Nagi x\nPS Also, for chicken lovers – > \nCHICKEN\n Stroganoff\n.

Fall apart beef smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it's made with\neconomical stewing beef\nyet tastes like a million dollars!\n3 cook methods provided:\nstove, slow cooker or pressure cooker\/instant pot\n* Recipe update: pursuant to some readers having difficulties with flour lumps, the steps have been updated to make it easier!\n▢\n1.75kg\/ 3.5lb\nbeef chuck or other stewing beef\n, cut in 4cm \/ 1.5” cube (Note 1)\n▢\n1.5\ntsp\neach salt and pepper\n▢\n2\ntbsp\noil\n▢\n20 g\/ 1 tbsp\nbutter\n, unsalted\n▢\n1\nlarge onion\n, halved then sliced into 1 cm \/ 2\/5″ slices\n▢\n4\ngarlic cloves\n, minced\n▢\n7\ntbsp\nflour\n, plain \/ all purpose\n▢\n4\ntbsp\nDijon Mustard\n▢\n1 litre \/ 1 quart\nbeef stock\/broth\n, reduced salt\n▢\n1 1\/2\ncups\nsour cream\n, full fat best\nGarlic Butter Mushrooms:\n▢\n3 tbsp\/ 45 g\nbutter\n, unsalted\n▢\n700 g \/ 1.2 lb\nmushrooms\n, sliced into 0.5cm thick slices\n▢\n3\ngarlic cloves\n, finely minced\n▢\n1\/2\ntsp\nsalt and pepper\nServing:\n▢\nPasta, wide egg noodles, mashed potato\n▢\nChives for garnish\nCook Mode\nPrevent screen from sleeping\nSeason beef –\nPat beef dry then sprinkle with all the salt and pepper.\nBrown beef\n– Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot or skillet* over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (not squished) and brown aggressively all over – 4 minutes or so. Remove and repeat with rest of beef, adding more oil as needed.\nSauté aromatics –\nLet the pot cool down a bit then return to stove. Melt half the butter, then cook garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened.\nAdd flour –\nSprinkle the flour across the surface, then stir. Add the mustard, and stir – it will look gluey, that's ok, it will dissolve.\nAdd stock –\nWhile stirring, pour in about half the beef stock then mix so the flour mixture dissolves into the liquid. It will thicken quite quickly into a gravy-like consistency .Switch to a whisk if needed, to make it lump free. Then add remaining stock, stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, and bring to simmer. Cook using chosen method below.\nSLOW COOKING – choose method:\nSlow cooker:\nTransfer all liquid into slow cooker. Add beef, then slow cook 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH.\nStove:\nAdd beef into pot. Cover with lid and adjust heat to low\/medium low so the it's simmering gently. Simmer 2 hrs (check at 1.5 hrs) until beef beef falls apart easily.\nInstant pot:\nSKIP FLOUR, follow Note 5 Gluten Free option. 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker.\nOther pressure cookers: \n40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker.\nGARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS:\nMelt half the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook until almost golden (~3 minutes). Add half the garlic, salt and pepper, cook until golden. Remove, repeat with remaining butter, mushrooms and garlic.\nFINISHING STEW:\nMix sour cream with 1.5 cups of liquid from slow cooker (Note 2), then gently stir into stew – careful, the beef is delicate!\nGently stir in mushrooms.\nServe over noodles, pasta or mashed potato, sprinkled with chives!\n* Only if you’re planning to transfer to slow cooker! If cooking on stove, must use pot.\n1. Beef\n– use economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender such as:\nChuck\nBoneless beef ribs*\nGravy beef or other beef labelled as “stewing beef”\nBeef cheeks**\n* Use ribs if you want to show off. It is the most well marbled all throughout, not a speck of dry anywhere (unlike chuck where there are some spots that are less juicy than others)\n** If 200g\/7oz or less, cook whole so it looks like\nthis beef cheeks recipe\nbut with Stroganoff Sauce. Chopped cheeks twist and skew once slow cooked – looks better to serve whole (or at most, halved).\nOther beef cuts ok to use\n– great for slow cooking but not as juicy all the way through as there are more lean patches:\nBrisket\nBlade roast\nBest to buy big piece\nand cut your own. Try not to buy the tiny little pre cut stewing beef – they will cook too quickly.\n2. Sour Cream\n– mixing with sauce from stew prior to adding into pot\/slow cooker ensures you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce. You can’t mix stew vigorously because the beef will fall apart!\n3. Instant Pot\n – Some readers have experienced the “Burn” notice using the IP because the sauce is borderline too thick for the IP. To eliminate this chance completely, SKIP THE FLOUR and use the Gluten Free option in Note 5 instead (cornflour slurry added at end to thicken).\nAll pressure Cookers\n(including IP and Australian Breville Fast-Slow Cooker) – you can do the sautéing in the same pot. Note that it will take longer though because it doesn’t get as hot as using stove and you can’t use as large a pot\/pan!\n4. Sauce \nthickness – \nstove method might need a touch of extra water to thin sauce, depends how heavy your pot lid is (heavier = less evaporation). \n5. Gluten free option (and for Instant Pot) – \nskip the flour. Hold back 1\/4 cup beef broth, mix with 3 tbsp cornflour\/cornstarch. After whisking sour cream with stew liquid, add the cornflour mix into the sour cream, then pour all that into the stew. Simmer 5 minutes to thicken (slow cooker 10 minutes, IP saute function 5 min).\n6. Storage\n– as with all stews, it’s even better the next day… and the next! Leftovers will keep 4 to 5 days in the fridge, and freeze for 3 months (thaw gently and stir gently, remember beef is fall apart tender!\nIf you have lots of leftovers, transform into a pie with puff pastry (so it will look like\nthis\n) OR mashed potato (see method used for\nCottage Pie\nor\nShepherd’s Pie\n).\n7.

Brown beef aggressively. The better the browning, the better the flavour in the sauce and on the beef\\!\n2. Sauté the onion and garlic, mix in the flour;\n3. Add everything into the slow cooker (or pot);\n4. Slow cook 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high (see recipe for stove and IP\/pressure cooker);\n5. Sauté mushrooms in garlic and butter;\n6. Whisk the sour cream with some of the liquid in the slow cooker – this will ensure you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce (can’t mix vigorously otherwise the beef crumbles!);\n7. Stir mushrooms and sour cream into sauce;\n8. Serve over mash, pasta, egg noodles or even [rice](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/how-to-cook-rice\/)\\!\n\nHere’s what it looks like straight out of the slow cooker.\n\n![Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff in a slow cooker, ready to be served](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/tachyon\/2020\/02\/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_1.jpg)\n\nAnd the beef…..fall apart….. juicy…..sucked up all the flavour of that Stroganoff Sauce…\n\n![Close up showing fall apart slow cooked beef smothered din Beef Stroganoff sauce](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/tachyon\/2020\/02\/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_0.jpg)\n\nI’ve made this as a stew but it could just as easily be transformed into a chunky soup with potatoes and vegetables. That way, it would also be a meal in one, rather than preparing noodles or mash to serve it over.\n\nI’ve popped notes in the recipe for how to make it into a soup – you just add extra liquid to make the sauce slightly thinner which also increases volume so you can add more “stuff” into it. 😇\n\nOtherwise, if you’re sticking with the Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff Stew as written, serve it over one of these:\n\n- pasta or wide egg noodles (traditional);\n- mashed potato (also common for Stroganoff);\n- [rice](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/how-to-cook-rice\/); or\n- low carb alternatives: [Creamy Cauliflower Mash](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/creamy-mashed-cauliflower\/) or [Cauliflower Rice](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/cauliflower-rice\/)\n\nEnjoy! ***– Nagi x***\n\nPS Also, for chicken lovers – \\> [**CHICKEN** Stroganoff](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/chicken-stroganoff\/).

Fall apart beef smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it's made with **economical stewing beef** yet tastes like a million dollars\\!\n\n**3 cook methods provided:** stove, slow cooker or pressure cooker\/instant pot\n\n\\* Recipe update: pursuant to some readers having difficulties with flour lumps, the steps have been updated to make it easier\\!\n\n### Ingredients\nCups\n\nMetric\n\n- ▢\n  1\\.75kg\/ 3.5lb  beef chuck or other stewing beef , cut in 4cm \/ 1.5” cube (Note 1)\n- ▢\n  1\\.5 tsp each salt and pepper\n- ▢\n  2 tbsp oil\n- ▢\n  20 g\/ 1 tbsp  butter , unsalted\n- ▢\n  1 large onion , halved then sliced into 1 cm \/ 2\/5″ slices\n- ▢\n  4 garlic cloves , minced\n- ▢\n  7 tbsp flour , plain \/ all purpose\n- ▢\n  4 tbsp Dijon Mustard\n- ▢\n  1 litre \/ 1 quart beef stock\/broth , reduced salt\n- ▢\n  1 1\/2 cups sour cream , full fat best\n\n#### Garlic Butter Mushrooms:\n- ▢\n  3 tbsp\/ 45 g  butter , unsalted\n- ▢\n  700 g \/ 1.2 lb mushrooms , sliced into 0.5cm thick slices\n- ▢\n  3 garlic cloves , finely minced\n- ▢\n  1\/2 tsp salt and pepper\n\n#### Serving:\n- ▢\n  Pasta, wide egg noodles, mashed potato\n- ▢\n  Chives for garnish\n\nCook Mode\n\nPrevent screen from sleeping\n\n### Instructions\n- **Season beef –** Pat beef dry then sprinkle with all the salt and pepper.\n- **Brown beef** – Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot or skillet\\* over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (not squished) and brown aggressively all over – 4 minutes or so. Remove and repeat with rest of beef, adding more oil as needed.\n- **Sauté aromatics –** Let the pot cool down a bit then return to stove. Melt half the butter, then cook garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened.\n- **Add flour –** Sprinkle the flour across the surface, then stir. Add the mustard, and stir – it will look gluey, that's ok, it will dissolve.\n- **Add stock –** While stirring, pour in about half the beef stock then mix so the flour mixture dissolves into the liquid. It will thicken quite quickly into a gravy-like consistency .Switch to a whisk if needed, to make it lump free. Then add remaining stock, stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, and bring to simmer. Cook using chosen method below.\n\n#### SLOW COOKING – choose method:\n- **Slow cooker:** Transfer all liquid into slow cooker. Add beef, then slow cook 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH.\n- **Stove:** Add beef into pot. Cover with lid and adjust heat to low\/medium low so the it's simmering gently. Simmer 2 hrs (check at 1.5 hrs) until beef beef falls apart easily.\n- **Instant pot:** SKIP FLOUR, follow Note 5 Gluten Free option. 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker.\n- **Other pressure cookers:** 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker.\n\n#### GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS:\n- Melt half the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook until almost golden (~3 minutes). Add half the garlic, salt and pepper, cook until golden. Remove, repeat with remaining butter, mushrooms and garlic.\n\n#### FINISHING STEW:\n- Mix sour cream with 1.5 cups of liquid from slow cooker (Note 2), then gently stir into stew – careful, the beef is delicate\\!\n- Gently stir in mushrooms.\n- Serve over noodles, pasta or mashed potato, sprinkled with chives\\!\n\n### Recipe Notes:\n\\* Only if you’re planning to transfer to slow cooker! If cooking on stove, must use pot.\n\n**1\\. Beef** – use economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender such as:\n\n- Chuck\n- Boneless beef ribs\\*\n- Gravy beef or other beef labelled as “stewing beef”\n- Beef cheeks\\*\\*\n\n\\* Use ribs if you want to show off. It is the most well marbled all throughout, not a speck of dry anywhere (unlike chuck where there are some spots that are less juicy than others)  \n\\*\\* If 200g\/7oz or less, cook whole so it looks like [this beef cheeks recipe](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/slow-cooker-red-wine-beef-cheeks\/) but with Stroganoff Sauce. Chopped cheeks twist and skew once slow cooked – looks better to serve whole (or at most, halved).\n\n**Other beef cuts ok to use** – great for slow cooking but not as juicy all the way through as there are more lean patches:\n\n- Brisket\n- Blade roast\n\n**Best to buy big piece** and cut your own. Try not to buy the tiny little pre cut stewing beef – they will cook too quickly.\n\n**2\\. Sour Cream** – mixing with sauce from stew prior to adding into pot\/slow cooker ensures you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce. You can’t mix stew vigorously because the beef will fall apart\\!\n\n**3\\. Instant Pot** – Some readers have experienced the “Burn” notice using the IP because the sauce is borderline too thick for the IP. To eliminate this chance completely, SKIP THE FLOUR and use the Gluten Free option in Note 5 instead (cornflour slurry added at end to thicken).\n\n**All pressure Cookers** (including IP and Australian Breville Fast-Slow Cooker) – you can do the sautéing in the same pot. Note that it will take longer though because it doesn’t get as hot as using stove and you can’t use as large a pot\/pan\\!\n\n**4\\. Sauce** **thickness –** stove method might need a touch of extra water to thin sauce, depends how heavy your pot lid is (heavier = less evaporation).\n\n**5\\. Gluten free option (and for Instant Pot) –** skip the flour. Hold back 1\/4 cup beef broth, mix with 3 tbsp cornflour\/cornstarch. After whisking sour cream with stew liquid, add the cornflour mix into the sour cream, then pour all that into the stew. Simmer 5 minutes to thicken (slow cooker 10 minutes, IP saute function 5 min).\n\n**6\\. Storage** – as with all stews, it’s even better the next day… and the next! Leftovers will keep 4 to 5 days in the fridge, and freeze for 3 months (thaw gently and stir gently, remember beef is fall apart tender\\!\n\nIf you have lots of leftovers, transform into a pie with puff pastry (so it will look like [this](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/epic-chunky-beef-and-mushroom-pie\/)) OR mashed potato (see method used for [Cottage Pie](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/cottage-pie\/) or [Shepherd’s Pie](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/shepherds-pie\/)).\n\n**7\\.

I parboiled my beef first after realising I wanted to follow this recipe. Still managed to get a nice browning effect on the beef. I only had chicken stock so I used that and so my sauce looked more white. I found the sauce was pretty thick even though I measured the right amount of flour, maybe it needed less? I also felt there was too much Dijon mustard as the taste was quite strong (maybe I added too much). However, after slow cooking the beef and adding the mushrooms, the sauce turned more brown and after adding the sour cream (I only added half the amount) the taste was quite nice actually!

An incredible slow cooked beef that’s fall-apart tender smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it’s made with **economical stewing beef** yet tastes like a million bucks\\!\n\n![Close up of ladle scooping up Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/tachyon\/2020\/02\/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_5.jpg)\n\nYou know that anything that involving the words “slow cooked” and “beef” is going to be a winner. And this one is a ripper\\!\n\nIt’s the slow cooked version of classic [Beef Stroganoff](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/beef-stroganoff\/). Besides the fact that it takes 8 hours in a slow cooker instead of 15 minutes on the stove, this stew version of Stroganoff differs from the traditional version in a few ways:\n\n- **Fall apart tender chunks of beef** rather than thin strips that are just cooked so they’re juicy inside;\n- Made with **economical stewing beef** rather than good to high quality well marbled steak (essential for a really great traditional Beef Stroganoff); and\n- **Deeper flavour in the sauce** – owing to the long cook time. You can’t shortcut this kind of flavour\\!\n\nThis slow cooked beef melts in your mouth and the depth of flavour in the sauce is magnificent\\!\n\n![Slow Cooked Beef with Stroganoff Sauce served over mashed potato](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/tachyon\/2020\/02\/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_9.jpg)\n\n## **What you need for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff**\nHere’s what you need to make this incredible slow cooked beef dish! It’s the same ingredients as traditional [Beef Stroganoff](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/beef-stroganoff\/) except using economical stewing beef and more sauce so the beef is submerged while slow cooking\\!\n\n![](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/tachyon\/2020\/02\/Slow-Cooker-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew-ingredients.jpg)\n\nUse Chuck Beef or other economical stewing beef. Do not waste your money on pricier cuts like sirloin\\!\n\n## **Best cut of beef for SLOW COOKER Beef Stroganoff**\nThis recipe needs to be made with economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender, such as:\n\n- chuck beef\n- boneless beef ribs\n- beef cheeks\n- gravy beef\n\nIn contrast, traditional [Beef Stroganoff](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/beef-stroganoff\/), which is cooked quickly on the stove, is best made with pricier cuts suitable for cooking as steaks, such as boneless rib eye\/scotch fillet and sirloin.\n\nJust a few notes on some of the other ingredients:\n\n- **Sour Cream** – this is what makes Stroganoff Sauce creamy. It’s added at the end so there’s no risk of it splitting during the slow cooking time;\n- **Dijon Mustard** – for flavour and thickening, a traditional ingredient in Beef Stroganoff Sauce; and\n- **Flour** – thickens the sauce. See recipe notes for gluten free option\\!\n***\n## **How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff**\nThis is pretty much made just like traditional [Beef Stew](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/beef-stew\/) – entirely hands off for most of the cook time\\!\n\n![How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/tachyon\/2020\/02\/How-to-make-Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff.jpg)\n\n1. Brown beef aggressively. The better the browning, the better the flavour in the sauce and on the beef\\!\n2. Sauté the onion and garlic, mix in the flour;\n3. Add everything into the slow cooker (or pot);\n4. Slow cook 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high (see recipe for stove and IP\/pressure cooker);\n5. Sauté mushrooms in garlic and butter;\n6. Whisk the sour cream with some of the liquid in the slow cooker – this will ensure you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce (can’t mix vigorously otherwise the beef crumbles!);\n7. Stir mushrooms and sour cream into sauce;\n8.

Add beef in a single layer (not squished) and brown aggressively all over – 4 minutes or so. Remove and repeat with rest of beef, adding more oil as needed.\n- **Sauté aromatics –** Let the pot cool down a bit then return to stove. Melt half the butter, then cook garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened.\n- **Add flour –** Sprinkle the flour across the surface, then stir. Add the mustard, and stir – it will look gluey, that's ok, it will dissolve.\n- **Add stock –** While stirring, pour in about half the beef stock then mix so the flour mixture dissolves into the liquid. It will thicken quite quickly into a gravy-like consistency .Switch to a whisk if needed, to make it lump free. Then add remaining stock, stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, and bring to simmer. Cook using chosen method below.\n\n#### SLOW COOKING – choose method:\n- **Slow cooker:** Transfer all liquid into slow cooker. Add beef, then slow cook 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH.\n- **Stove:** Add beef into pot. Cover with lid and adjust heat to low\/medium low so the it's simmering gently. Simmer 2 hrs (check at 1.5 hrs) until beef beef falls apart easily.\n- **Instant pot:** SKIP FLOUR, follow Note 5 Gluten Free option. 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker.\n- **Other pressure cookers:** 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker.\n\n#### GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS:\n- Melt half the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook until almost golden (~3 minutes). Add half the garlic, salt and pepper, cook until golden. Remove, repeat with remaining butter, mushrooms and garlic.\n\n#### FINISHING STEW:\n- Mix sour cream with 1.5 cups of liquid from slow cooker (Note 2), then gently stir into stew – careful, the beef is delicate\\!\n- Gently stir in mushrooms.\n- Serve over noodles, pasta or mashed potato, sprinkled with chives\\!\n\n\\* Only if you’re planning to transfer to slow cooker! If cooking on stove, must use pot.\n\n**1\\. Beef** – use economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender such as:\n\n- Chuck\n- Boneless beef ribs\\*\n- Gravy beef or other beef labelled as “stewing beef”\n- Beef cheeks\\*\\*\n\n\\* Use ribs if you want to show off. It is the most well marbled all throughout, not a speck of dry anywhere (unlike chuck where there are some spots that are less juicy than others)  \n\\*\\* If 200g\/7oz or less, cook whole so it looks like [this beef cheeks recipe](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/slow-cooker-red-wine-beef-cheeks\/) but with Stroganoff Sauce. Chopped cheeks twist and skew once slow cooked – looks better to serve whole (or at most, halved).\n\n**Other beef cuts ok to use** – great for slow cooking but not as juicy all the way through as there are more lean patches:\n\n- Brisket\n- Blade roast\n\n**Best to buy big piece** and cut your own. Try not to buy the tiny little pre cut stewing beef – they will cook too quickly.\n\n**2\\. Sour Cream** – mixing with sauce from stew prior to adding into pot\/slow cooker ensures you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce. You can’t mix stew vigorously because the beef will fall apart\\!\n\n**3\\. Instant Pot** – Some readers have experienced the “Burn” notice using the IP because the sauce is borderline too thick for the IP. To eliminate this chance completely, SKIP THE FLOUR and use the Gluten Free option in Note 5 instead (cornflour slurry added at end to thicken).\n\n**All pressure Cookers** (including IP and Australian Breville Fast-Slow Cooker) – you can do the sautéing in the same pot. Note that it will take longer though because it doesn’t get as hot as using stove and you can’t use as large a pot\/pan\\!\n\n**4\\. Sauce** **thickness –** stove method might need a touch of extra water to thin sauce, depends how heavy your pot lid is (heavier = less evaporation).\n\n**5\\. Gluten free option (and for Instant Pot) –** skip the flour. Hold back 1\/4 cup beef broth, mix with 3 tbsp cornflour\/cornstarch. After whisking sour cream with stew liquid, add the cornflour mix into the sour cream, then pour all that into the stew. Simmer 5 minutes to thicken (slow cooker 10 minutes, IP saute function 5 min).\n\n**6\\. Storage** – as with all stews, it’s even better the next day… and the next! Leftovers will keep 4 to 5 days in the fridge, and freeze for 3 months (thaw gently and stir gently, remember beef is fall apart tender\\!\n\nIf you have lots of leftovers, transform into a pie with puff pastry (so it will look like [this](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/epic-chunky-beef-and-mushroom-pie\/)) OR mashed potato (see method used for [Cottage Pie](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/cottage-pie\/) or [Shepherd’s Pie](https:\/\/www.recipetineats.com\/shepherds-pie\/)).\n\n**7\\.

Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff is the stew version of traditional Beef Stroganoff . An incredible slow cooked beef that’s fall-apart tender smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it’s made with economical stewing beef yet tastes like a million bucks! You know that anything that involving the words “slow cooked” and “beef” is going to be a winner. And this one is a ripper! It’s the slow cooked version of classic Beef Stroganoff . Besides the fact that it takes 8 hours in a slow cooker instead of 15 minutes on the stove, this stew version of Stroganoff differs from the traditional version in a few ways: Fall apart tender chunks of beef rather than thin strips that are just cooked so they’re juicy inside; Made with economical stewing beef rather than good to high quality well marbled steak (essential for a really great traditional Beef Stroganoff); and Deeper flavour in the sauce – owing to the long cook time. You can’t shortcut this kind of flavour! This slow cooked beef melts in your mouth and the depth of flavour in the sauce is magnificent! What you need for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Here’s what you need to make this incredible slow cooked beef dish! It’s the same ingredients as traditional Beef Stroganoff except using economical stewing beef and more sauce so the beef is submerged while slow cooking! Use Chuck Beef or other economical stewing beef. Do not waste your money on pricier cuts like sirloin! Best cut of beef for SLOW COOKER Beef Stroganoff This recipe needs to be made with economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender, such as: chuck beef boneless beef ribs beef cheeks gravy beef In contrast, traditional Beef Stroganoff , which is cooked quickly on the stove, is best made with pricier cuts suitable for cooking as steaks, such as boneless rib eye/scotch fillet and sirloin. Just a few notes on some of the other ingredients: Sour Cream – this is what makes Stroganoff Sauce creamy. It’s added at the end so there’s no risk of it splitting during the slow cooking time; Dijon Mustard – for flavour and thickening, a traditional ingredient in Beef Stroganoff Sauce; and Flour – thickens the sauce. See recipe notes for gluten free option! How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff This is pretty much made just like traditional Beef Stew – entirely hands off for most of the cook time! Brown beef aggressively. The better the browning, the better the flavour in the sauce and on the beef! Sauté the onion and garlic, mix in the flour; Add everything into the slow cooker (or pot); Slow cook 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high (see recipe for stove and IP/pressure cooker); Sauté mushrooms in garlic and butter; Whisk the sour cream with some of the liquid in the slow cooker – this will ensure you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce (can’t mix vigorously otherwise the beef crumbles!); Stir mushrooms and sour cream into sauce; Serve over mash, pasta, egg noodles or even rice ! Here’s what it looks like straight out of the slow cooker. And the beef…..fall apart….. juicy…..sucked up all the flavour of that Stroganoff Sauce… I’ve made this as a stew but it could just as easily be transformed into a chunky soup with potatoes and vegetables. That way, it would also be a meal in one, rather than preparing noodles or mash to serve it over. I’ve popped notes in the recipe for how to make it into a soup – you just add extra liquid to make the sauce slightly thinner which also increases volume so you can add more “stuff” into it. 😇 Otherwise, if you’re sticking with the Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff Stew as written, serve it over one of these: pasta or wide egg noodles (traditional); mashed potato (also common for Stroganoff); rice ; or low carb alternatives: Creamy Cauliflower Mash or Cauliflower Rice Enjoy! – Nagi x PS Also, for chicken lovers – > CHICKEN Stroganoff .

An incredible slow cooked beef that’s fall-apart tender smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it’s made with economical stewing beef yet tastes like a million bucks\! ![Close up of ladle scooping up Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_5.jpg) ## Beef Stroganoff You know that anything that involving the words “slow cooked” and “beef” is going to be a winner. And this one is a ripper\! It’s the slow cooked version of classic [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/). Besides the fact that it takes 8 hours in a slow cooker instead of 15 minutes on the stove, this stew version of Stroganoff differs from the traditional version in a few ways: - Fall apart tender chunks of beef rather than thin strips that are just cooked so they’re juicy inside; - Made with economical stewing beef rather than good to high quality well marbled steak (essential for a really great traditional Beef Stroganoff); and - Deeper flavour in the sauce – owing to the long cook time. You can’t shortcut this kind of flavour\! This slow cooked beef melts in your mouth and the depth of flavour in the sauce is magnificent\! ![Slow Cooked Beef with Stroganoff Sauce served over mashed potato](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_9.jpg) ## What you need for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Here’s what you need to make this incredible slow cooked beef dish! It’s the same ingredients as traditional [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/) except using economical stewing beef and more sauce so the beef is submerged while slow cooking\! ![](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooker-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew-ingredients.jpg) Use Chuck Beef or other economical stewing beef. Do not waste your money on pricier cuts like sirloin\! ## Best cut of beef for SLOW COOKER Beef Stroganoff This recipe needs to be made with economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender, such as: - chuck beef - boneless beef ribs - beef cheeks - gravy beef In contrast, traditional [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/), which is cooked quickly on the stove, is best made with pricier cuts suitable for cooking as steaks, such as boneless rib eye/scotch fillet and sirloin. Just a few notes on some of the other ingredients: - Sour Cream – this is what makes Stroganoff Sauce creamy. It’s added at the end so there’s no risk of it splitting during the slow cooking time; - Dijon Mustard – for flavour and thickening, a traditional ingredient in Beef Stroganoff Sauce; and - Flour – thickens the sauce. See recipe notes for gluten free option\! * ## How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff This is pretty much made just like traditional [Beef Stew](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stew/) – entirely hands off for most of the cook time\! ![How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/How-to-make-Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff.jpg) 1. Brown beef aggressively. The better the browning, the better the flavour in the sauce and on the beef\! 2. Sauté the onion and garlic, mix in the flour; 3. Add everything into the slow cooker (or pot); 4. Slow cook 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high (see recipe for stove and IP/pressure cooker); 5. Sauté mushrooms in garlic and butter; 6. Whisk the sour cream with some of the liquid in the slow cooker – this will ensure you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce (can’t mix vigorously otherwise the beef crumbles!); 7. Stir mushrooms and sour cream into sauce; 8. Serve over mash, pasta, egg noodles or even [rice](https://www.recipetineats.com/how-to-cook-rice/)\! Here’s what it looks like straight out of the slow cooker. ![Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff in a slow cooker, ready to be served](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_1.jpg) And the beef…..fall apart….. juicy…..sucked up all the flavour of that Stroganoff Sauce… ![Close up showing fall apart slow cooked beef smothered din Beef Stroganoff sauce](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_0.jpg) I’ve made this as a stew but it could just as easily be transformed into a chunky soup with potatoes and vegetables. That way, it would also be a meal in one, rather than preparing noodles or mash to serve it over. I’ve popped notes in the recipe for how to make it into a soup – you just add extra liquid to make the sauce slightly thinner which also increases volume so you can add more “stuff” into it. 😇 Otherwise, if you’re sticking with the Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff Stew as written, serve it over one of these: - pasta or wide egg noodles (traditional); - mashed potato (also common for Stroganoff); - [rice](https://www.recipetineats.com/how-to-cook-rice/); or - low carb alternatives: [Creamy Cauliflower Mash](https://www.recipetineats.com/creamy-mashed-cauliflower/) or [Cauliflower Rice](https://www.recipetineats.com/cauliflower-rice/) Enjoy! – Nagi x PS Also, for chicken lovers – \> [CHICKEN Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/chicken-stroganoff/).

The slow cooked version of [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/)! Fall apart beef smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it's made with economical stewing beef yet tastes like a million dollars\! 3 cook methods provided: stove, slow cooker or pressure cooker/instant pot \* Recipe update: pursuant to some readers having difficulties with flour lumps, the steps have been updated to make it easier\! ### Ingredients Cups Metric - ▢ 1\.75kg/ 3.5lb beef chuck or other stewing beef , cut in 4cm / 1.5” cube (Note 1) - ▢ 1\.5 tsp each salt and pepper - ▢ 2 tbsp oil - ▢ 20 g/ 1 tbsp butter , unsalted - ▢ 1 large onion , halved then sliced into 1 cm / 2/5″ slices - ▢ 4 garlic cloves , minced - ▢ 7 tbsp flour , plain / all purpose - ▢ 4 tbsp Dijon Mustard - ▢ 1 litre / 1 quart beef stock/broth , reduced salt - ▢ 1 1/2 cups sour cream , full fat best #### Garlic Butter Mushrooms: - ▢ 3 tbsp/ 45 g butter , unsalted - ▢ 700 g / 1.2 lb mushrooms , sliced into 0.5cm thick slices - ▢ 3 garlic cloves , finely minced - ▢ 1/2 tsp salt and pepper #### Serving: - ▢ Pasta, wide egg noodles, mashed potato - ▢ Chives for garnish Cook Mode Prevent screen from sleeping ### Instructions - Season beef – Pat beef dry then sprinkle with all the salt and pepper. - Brown beef – Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot or skillet\* over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (not squished) and brown aggressively all over – 4 minutes or so. Remove and repeat with rest of beef, adding more oil as needed. - Sauté aromatics – Let the pot cool down a bit then return to stove. Melt half the butter, then cook garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened. - Add flour – Sprinkle the flour across the surface, then stir. Add the mustard, and stir – it will look gluey, that's ok, it will dissolve. - Add stock – While stirring, pour in about half the beef stock then mix so the flour mixture dissolves into the liquid. It will thicken quite quickly into a gravy-like consistency .Switch to a whisk if needed, to make it lump free. Then add remaining stock, stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, and bring to simmer. Cook using chosen method below. #### SLOW COOKING – choose method: - Slow cooker: Transfer all liquid into slow cooker. Add beef, then slow cook 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH. - Stove: Add beef into pot. Cover with lid and adjust heat to low/medium low so the it's simmering gently. Simmer 2 hrs (check at 1.5 hrs) until beef beef falls apart easily. - Instant pot: SKIP FLOUR, follow Note 5 Gluten Free option. 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker. - Other pressure cookers: 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker. #### GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS: - Melt half the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook until almost golden (~3 minutes). Add half the garlic, salt and pepper, cook until golden. Remove, repeat with remaining butter, mushrooms and garlic. #### FINISHING STEW: - Mix sour cream with 1.5 cups of liquid from slow cooker (Note 2), then gently stir into stew – careful, the beef is delicate\! - Gently stir in mushrooms. - Serve over noodles, pasta or mashed potato, sprinkled with chives\! ### Recipe Notes: \* Only if you’re planning to transfer to slow cooker! If cooking on stove, must use pot. 1\. Beef – use economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender such as: - Chuck - Boneless beef ribs\* - Gravy beef or other beef labelled as “stewing beef” - Beef cheeks\\ \* Use ribs if you want to show off. It is the most well marbled all throughout, not a speck of dry anywhere (unlike chuck where there are some spots that are less juicy than others) \\ If 200g/7oz or less, cook whole so it looks like [this beef cheeks recipe](https://www.recipetineats.com/slow-cooker-red-wine-beef-cheeks/) but with Stroganoff Sauce. Chopped cheeks twist and skew once slow cooked – looks better to serve whole (or at most, halved). Other beef cuts ok to use – great for slow cooking but not as juicy all the way through as there are more lean patches: - Brisket - Blade roast Best to buy big piece and cut your own. Try not to buy the tiny little pre cut stewing beef – they will cook too quickly. 2\. Sour Cream – mixing with sauce from stew prior to adding into pot/slow cooker ensures you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce. You can’t mix stew vigorously because the beef will fall apart\! 3\. Instant Pot – Some readers have experienced the “Burn” notice using the IP because the sauce is borderline too thick for the IP. To eliminate this chance completely, SKIP THE FLOUR and use the Gluten Free option in Note 5 instead (cornflour slurry added at end to thicken). All pressure Cookers (including IP and Australian Breville Fast-Slow Cooker) – you can do the sautéing in the same pot. Note that it will take longer though because it doesn’t get as hot as using stove and you can’t use as large a pot/pan\! 4\. Sauce thickness – stove method might need a touch of extra water to thin sauce, depends how heavy your pot lid is (heavier = less evaporation). 5\. Gluten free option (and for Instant Pot) – skip the flour. Hold back 1/4 cup beef broth, mix with 3 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch. After whisking sour cream with stew liquid, add the cornflour mix into the sour cream, then pour all that into the stew. Simmer 5 minutes to thicken (slow cooker 10 minutes, IP saute function 5 min). 6\. Storage – as with all stews, it’s even better the next day… and the next! Leftovers will keep 4 to 5 days in the fridge, and freeze for 3 months (thaw gently and stir gently, remember beef is fall apart tender\! If you have lots of leftovers, transform into a pie with puff pastry (so it will look like [this](https://www.recipetineats.com/epic-chunky-beef-and-mushroom-pie/)) OR mashed potato (see method used for [Cottage Pie](https://www.recipetineats.com/cottage-pie/) or [Shepherd’s Pie](https://www.recipetineats.com/shepherds-pie/)). 7\.

I opted for pressure cooker. It was easy, the ‘hardest’ longest part is browning the beef cubes on all sides. The buttery garlic mushrooms are excellent ( I love pepper but decreased on batch 2) No burn notice for me.. because I scraped the pot after I sauteed and I used a full quart of stock.

I parboiled my beef first after realising I wanted to follow this recipe. Still managed to get a nice browning effect on the beef. I only had chicken stock so I used that and so my sauce looked more white. I found the sauce was pretty thick even though I measured the right amount of flour, maybe it needed less? I also felt there was too much Dijon mustard as the taste was quite strong (maybe I added too much). However, after slow cooking the beef and adding the mushrooms, the sauce turned more brown and after adding the sour cream (I only added half the amount) the taste was quite nice actually! Even my 18 month old toddler enjoyed it.

Readable Markdown	Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff is the stew version of traditional [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/). An incredible slow cooked beef that’s fall-apart tender smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it’s made with economical stewing beef yet tastes like a million bucks\! ![Close up of ladle scooping up Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_5.jpg) You know that anything that involving the words “slow cooked” and “beef” is going to be a winner. And this one is a ripper\! It’s the slow cooked version of classic [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/). Besides the fact that it takes 8 hours in a slow cooker instead of 15 minutes on the stove, this stew version of Stroganoff differs from the traditional version in a few ways: - Fall apart tender chunks of beef rather than thin strips that are just cooked so they’re juicy inside; - Made with economical stewing beef rather than good to high quality well marbled steak (essential for a really great traditional Beef Stroganoff); and - Deeper flavour in the sauce – owing to the long cook time. You can’t shortcut this kind of flavour\! This slow cooked beef melts in your mouth and the depth of flavour in the sauce is magnificent\! ![Slow Cooked Beef with Stroganoff Sauce served over mashed potato](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew_9.jpg) ## What you need for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Here’s what you need to make this incredible slow cooked beef dish! It’s the same ingredients as traditional [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/) except using economical stewing beef and more sauce so the beef is submerged while slow cooking\! ![](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/Slow-Cooker-Beef-Stroganoff-Stew-ingredients.jpg) Use Chuck Beef or other economical stewing beef. Do not waste your money on pricier cuts like sirloin\! ## Best cut of beef for SLOW COOKER Beef Stroganoff This recipe needs to be made with economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender, such as: - chuck beef - boneless beef ribs - beef cheeks - gravy beef In contrast, traditional [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/), which is cooked quickly on the stove, is best made with pricier cuts suitable for cooking as steaks, such as boneless rib eye/scotch fillet and sirloin. Just a few notes on some of the other ingredients: - Sour Cream – this is what makes Stroganoff Sauce creamy. It’s added at the end so there’s no risk of it splitting during the slow cooking time; - Dijon Mustard – for flavour and thickening, a traditional ingredient in Beef Stroganoff Sauce; and - Flour – thickens the sauce. See recipe notes for gluten free option\! * ## How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff This is pretty much made just like traditional [Beef Stew](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stew/) – entirely hands off for most of the cook time\! ![How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/tachyon/2020/02/How-to-make-Slow-Cooked-Beef-Stroganoff.jpg) 1. Brown beef aggressively. The better the browning, the better the flavour in the sauce and on the beef\! 2. Sauté the onion and garlic, mix in the flour; 3. Add everything into the slow cooker (or pot); 4. Slow cook 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high (see recipe for stove and IP/pressure cooker); 5. Sauté mushrooms in garlic and butter; 6. Whisk the sour cream with some of the liquid in the slow cooker – this will ensure you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce (can’t mix vigorously otherwise the beef crumbles!); 7. Stir mushrooms and sour cream into sauce; 8. Serve over mash, pasta, egg noodles or even [rice](https://www.recipetineats.com/how-to-cook-rice/)\!

That way, it would also be a meal in one, rather than preparing noodles or mash to serve it over. I’ve popped notes in the recipe for how to make it into a soup – you just add extra liquid to make the sauce slightly thinner which also increases volume so you can add more “stuff” into it. 😇 Otherwise, if you’re sticking with the Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff Stew as written, serve it over one of these: - pasta or wide egg noodles (traditional); - mashed potato (also common for Stroganoff); - [rice](https://www.recipetineats.com/how-to-cook-rice/); or - low carb alternatives: [Creamy Cauliflower Mash](https://www.recipetineats.com/creamy-mashed-cauliflower/) or [Cauliflower Rice](https://www.recipetineats.com/cauliflower-rice/) Enjoy! – Nagi x PS Also, for chicken lovers – \> [CHICKEN Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/chicken-stroganoff/).

The slow cooked version of [Beef Stroganoff](https://www.recipetineats.com/beef-stroganoff/)! Fall apart beef smothered in a creamy Stroganoff sauce with buttery garlic mushrooms, it's made with economical stewing beef yet tastes like a million dollars\! 3 cook methods provided: stove, slow cooker or pressure cooker/instant pot \* Recipe update: pursuant to some readers having difficulties with flour lumps, the steps have been updated to make it easier\! - ▢ 1\.75kg/ 3.5lb beef chuck or other stewing beef , cut in 4cm / 1.5” cube (Note 1) - ▢ 1\.5 tsp each salt and pepper - ▢ 2 tbsp oil - ▢ 20 g/ 1 tbsp butter , unsalted - ▢ 1 large onion , halved then sliced into 1 cm / 2/5″ slices - ▢ 4 garlic cloves , minced - ▢ 7 tbsp flour , plain / all purpose - ▢ 4 tbsp Dijon Mustard - ▢ 1 litre / 1 quart beef stock/broth , reduced salt - ▢ 1 1/2 cups sour cream , full fat best #### Garlic Butter Mushrooms: - ▢ 3 tbsp/ 45 g butter , unsalted - ▢ 700 g / 1.2 lb mushrooms , sliced into 0.5cm thick slices - ▢ 3 garlic cloves , finely minced - ▢ 1/2 tsp salt and pepper #### Serving: - ▢ Pasta, wide egg noodles, mashed potato - ▢ Chives for garnish Cook ModePrevent screen from sleeping - Season beef – Pat beef dry then sprinkle with all the salt and pepper. - Brown beef – Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot or skillet\* over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (not squished) and brown aggressively all over – 4 minutes or so. Remove and repeat with rest of beef, adding more oil as needed. - Sauté aromatics – Let the pot cool down a bit then return to stove. Melt half the butter, then cook garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened. - Add flour – Sprinkle the flour across the surface, then stir. Add the mustard, and stir – it will look gluey, that's ok, it will dissolve. - Add stock – While stirring, pour in about half the beef stock then mix so the flour mixture dissolves into the liquid. It will thicken quite quickly into a gravy-like consistency .Switch to a whisk if needed, to make it lump free. Then add remaining stock, stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, and bring to simmer. Cook using chosen method below. #### SLOW COOKING – choose method: - Slow cooker: Transfer all liquid into slow cooker. Add beef, then slow cook 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH. - Stove: Add beef into pot. Cover with lid and adjust heat to low/medium low so the it's simmering gently. Simmer 2 hrs (check at 1.5 hrs) until beef beef falls apart easily. - Instant pot: SKIP FLOUR, follow Note 5 Gluten Free option. 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker. - Other pressure cookers: 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker. #### GARLIC BUTTER MUSHROOMS: - Melt half the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook until almost golden (~3 minutes). Add half the garlic, salt and pepper, cook until golden. Remove, repeat with remaining butter, mushrooms and garlic. #### FINISHING STEW: - Mix sour cream with 1.5 cups of liquid from slow cooker (Note 2), then gently stir into stew – careful, the beef is delicate\! - Gently stir in mushrooms. - Serve over noodles, pasta or mashed potato, sprinkled with chives\! \* Only if you’re planning to transfer to slow cooker! If cooking on stove, must use pot. 1\. Beef – use economical stewing cuts that need to be cooked for a long time to become tender such as: - Chuck - Boneless beef ribs\* - Gravy beef or other beef labelled as “stewing beef” - Beef cheeks\\ \* Use ribs if you want to show off. It is the most well marbled all throughout, not a speck of dry anywhere (unlike chuck where there are some spots that are less juicy than others) \\ If 200g/7oz or less, cook whole so it looks like [this beef cheeks recipe](https://www.recipetineats.com/slow-cooker-red-wine-beef-cheeks/) but with Stroganoff Sauce. Chopped cheeks twist and skew once slow cooked – looks better to serve whole (or at most, halved). Other beef cuts ok to use – great for slow cooking but not as juicy all the way through as there are more lean patches: - Brisket - Blade roast Best to buy big piece and cut your own. Try not to buy the tiny little pre cut stewing beef – they will cook too quickly. 2\. Sour Cream – mixing with sauce from stew prior to adding into pot/slow cooker ensures you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce. You can’t mix stew vigorously because the beef will fall apart\! 3\. Instant Pot – Some readers have experienced the “Burn” notice using the IP because the sauce is borderline too thick for the IP. To eliminate this chance completely, SKIP THE FLOUR and use the Gluten Free option in Note 5 instead (cornflour slurry added at end to thicken). All pressure Cookers (including IP and Australian Breville Fast-Slow Cooker) – you can do the sautéing in the same pot. Note that it will take longer though because it doesn’t get as hot as using stove and you can’t use as large a pot/pan\! 4\. Sauce thickness – stove method might need a touch of extra water to thin sauce, depends how heavy your pot lid is (heavier = less evaporation). 5\. Gluten free option (and for Instant Pot) – skip the flour. Hold back 1/4 cup beef broth, mix with 3 tbsp cornflour/cornstarch. After whisking sour cream with stew liquid, add the cornflour mix into the sour cream, then pour all that into the stew. Simmer 5 minutes to thicken (slow cooker 10 minutes, IP saute function 5 min). 6\. Storage – as with all stews, it’s even better the next day… and the next! Leftovers will keep 4 to 5 days in the fridge, and freeze for 3 months (thaw gently and stir gently, remember beef is fall apart tender\! If you have lots of leftovers, transform into a pie with puff pastry (so it will look like [this](https://www.recipetineats.com/epic-chunky-beef-and-mushroom-pie/)) OR mashed potato (see method used for [Cottage Pie](https://www.recipetineats.com/cottage-pie/) or [Shepherd’s Pie](https://www.recipetineats.com/shepherds-pie/)). 7\.
