Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chuck roast or stew meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth, preferably low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 12 ounces wide egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, sear the beef pieces until browned on all sides but not cooked through. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker.
  2. In the same skillet, add more oil or butter if needed. Cook mushrooms and onions until softened and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic in the last minute. Transfer mixture to the slow cooker with the beef.
  3. Pour 2 cups beef broth into the slow cooker. Stir in 3 tablespoons flour, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  5. About 15 minutes before slow cooker finishes, cook egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons butter.
  6. Once beef is tender, stir in 1 cup sour cream off heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream.
  7. Serve the creamy beef mixture over warm egg noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Brown the beef and sauté mushrooms and onions before slow cooking to add flavor depth. Use full-fat sour cream and add it off heat to prevent curdling. Adjust seasoning gradually. If sauce is too thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry and cook uncovered on high for 10-15 minutes.
