Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 Tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion minced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 8 ounces white mushrooms cleaned and sliced
  • 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 Tablespoons sliced green onion tops for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Remove any fat and gristle from the chuck roast and cut into 1 to 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Combine beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and mustard in 2-cup measuring cup. Set aside.
  • Place flour, salt, pepper, and thyme is ziploc bag. Add beef; shake to coat. Heat oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Brown beef in single layer, about 6 minutes. Drain browned beef on paper towels; repeat with remaining beef.
  • Sauté onions in skillet for 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add 2 tablespoons of remaining seasoned flour; stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute. Add wine; cook, stirring constantly until thickened. Add beef broth mixture; cook stirring constantly until mixture boils.
  • Transfer beef to pan of slow cooker. Pour on the sauce. Cook on high for 4 hours, or until beef is tender. (See Note 1)
  • Fifteen minutes before serving, sauté mushrooms in 1 Tablespoon melted unsalted butter over high heat until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add to Stroganoff mixture.
  • Whisk sour cream with 1/4 cup of Stroganoff sauce.(See Note 2) Add to Stroganoff mixture; stir until well combined. Heat briefly. Correct seasonings. Garnish with sliced green onion tops. Serve over buttered noodles. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Notes

  • Note 1: Because of the amount of fat in beef chuck, there will likely be quite a bit of grease that needs to be removed when the cooking is finished. To easily remove the excess grease, dip a paper towel into the pan. The paper towel will soak up the excess grease.
  • Note 2: If you add the sour cream to the hot liquid, it will likely not totally combine. For a velvety smooth sauce, temper the sour cream by whisking it with about 1/4 of the hot liquid, and then pouring the tempered sour cream into the hot liquid.
  • Note 3: Leftover Beef Stroganoff makes incredible leftovers.
