This Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff recipe from scratch is fork-tender, fall apart beefy goodness. Could there be a more comforting, all-American, Crock Pot comfort food…via Russia?

Tender cubes of beef chuck roast, caramelized mushrooms and onions, wine, and garlic in a flavor-packed broth all finished with a creamy dollop of sour cream and the crockpot does almost all of the work! The perfect weeknight-easy or weekend-lazy, cold-weather, crowd-pleaser, especially with a batch of Italian Herb Garlic Cheddar Biscuits.

What is Beef Stroganoff?

Beef Stroganoff or beef Stroganov  is a Russian dish of sautéed pieces of beef served in a sauce with smetana (sour cream). From its origins in mid-19th-century Russia, it has become popular around the world, with considerable variation from the original recipe.

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff is quick and easy to prepare:

  • Brown the beef cubes and then caramelize the mushrooms and onions.
  • Add them to the crockpot with stock, wine, worcestershire, garlic, and mustard.
  • Slow-cook in the crockpot to melt in your mouth, fork tender beefy perfection.
  • Stir in a dollop of creamy crema, sour cream, or creme fraiche.
  • Combine with or serve on top of noodles or rice.

How to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff Recipe From Scratch

Begin by quickly browning cubed and seasoned chuck steak that is cut into 1″ cubes in a hot skillet.

I prefer chuck roast for all of my slow cooked soup, stew, and crockpot recipes like :

  • Crockpot French Dip Sandwiches
  • Red Wine Beef Stew with Mushrooms
  • Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak.

The fat, collagen, and connective tissue ratio in chuck roast produces the most tender and juicy beef for the price point. Beef short ribs are also amazing when slow-cooked and are another option.

ingredients to make crock pot beef stroganoff

Remove the browned beef from the pan and lower the heat to medium.

Saute mushrooms and onions in a little butter until they begin to brown and caramelize.

Add minced garlic and then flour. Next, deglaze the pan by adding a dry wine. I have used both a dry red and a dry white in this recipe with equally fantastic results.

Stir in beef stock, mustard, worcestershire and the browned beef. Bring to a simmer pour into the crockpot.

Cook on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 8-10 hours.

Stir in a large dollop of sour cream and some fresh parsley just before serving. The sour and tart and creaminess of this is what changes the dish from a variation of beef stew to Beef Stroganoff.

I always serve with buttered egg noodles. Sometimes I mix them in and sometimes I serve over the top. Rice is also a popular choice with Beef Stroganoff or even polenta or grits. Or skip the noodles for a low-carb version.

A batch of Italian Herb Garlic Cheddar Biscuits From Scratch is the perfect accompaniment!

Notes

Nutrition facts are approximate and do not include noodles.
Stock over broth?  Yes!  Stock has a deeper depth a flavor due to how long it is cooked for and the fact that it is cooked with the bones and marrow.  Also stock is not salted as opposed to a broth or bouillon which usually is. However, broth or bouillon may be substituted if desired. Adjust the salt as needed.
Slow Cooker sizes and cooking temperatures can vary resulting in the wide range of cook times.

    I made this for my hubby and he loved it. It was one of those recipes that has eluded me for some time. I did use tenderloin in ours and it was tender. I had it on high for about an hour and half then turned it to low for 3 hours. Turned out perfect!
