More like, stroganOMG.
I rarely beg on this website. (don’t disagree with me. I will win.)
But I’m here, in holey yoga pants on bended knee, sobbing so viciously, salmon could swim upstream in my tears, b e g g i n g you to add this to your menu.
Oh! You probably have a cold snap this weekend like we do. This is your cold-snap problem meal answer. Which made more sense in my head.
First of all, it’s slow cooker. Which is clearly code for “try-to-at-least-get-through-season-three-of-gilmore-girls-before-thanksgiving-madness-hits.”
I’ve come to accept that I create recipes based on how heavy my T.V. show addictions are. If it’s a dangerous chin-deep level, it’s slow cooker all the way. Which also made more sense in my head.
Sear your steak! ^^^
And then this is where things turn so magical, your head will spin off your body and orbit out to planet jubilation.
It’s the steak, mushrooms, beef stock, red wine (!), onions, a few spices, tomato paste and parsley flakes. Simple! But deeeeuuuum you just can’t know how glorious your home is about to smell all afternoon. (and we haven’t even gotten to the sour cream yet! waaaaaah.)
(p.s. are three exclamation points in one blog section an abomination? okay, cool.)
After 4-6 hours of slow cooker voodoo, you’ll add a cup of sour cream and get your pasta cooked, thus turning your whimper into a full-on wail. (I went with a pappardelle instead of egg noodles, just so I could feel slightly more elegant in my life. But go with whatever ya dig! Egg noodles are boss, too.)
^^^^^^ YOU CANNOT KNOW. ^^^^^^
^^^ YOU CANNOT. ^^^
The beef. The beef! It’s basically butter. So tender it should be locked in a cage in my mouth.
The sauce. The sauce! So rich, so succulent, so complex, so creamy. You’ll want to drink it and bathe in it and call it Frank.
I am begging you. BEGGING YOU. Make this. It’s actually quite simple, yet tastes like it was prepared by the ancestor grannies of our yesteryear. Which . . . also made more sense in my head.
You know what you have to do.
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Save Recipe
Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pound stew meat
- 1 Tbs. flour + pinch of salt and pepper
- 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Tbs. tomato paste
- 8 oz sliced mushrooms
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 1 Tbs. parsley flakes, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 2 cups beef stock
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 cup sour cream
- 10 oz pappardelle pasta
- fresh parsley, for garnish
- coarse salt
Instructions
- With paper towels, pat the stew meat until it’s dry. Then dust with the flour, and a pinch of salt and pepper, coating the meat all over.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high. In batches, sear the meat on both sides, until you get good charring, 2-3 minutes per side.
- In a slow cooker, add the seared beef and tomato paste. Stir the mix, coating the beef with the paste. Then add the mushrooms, sliced onion, parsley flakes, wine, stock, garlic powder, paprika, and a good pinch of salt. Let it cook high for 4 hours, or low for 6-8.
- Once the beef is freak-out tender, add the sour cream and let it simmer while you cook the pasta (according to its package directions.) Taste it! Does it need any salt? Naw? Good. Also, if the sauce feels a little thin to you, make a little corn starch/water slurry with 1 Tbs. starch to a 1/4 cup of water, and add a Tbs. at a time until it thickens up to your liking. (I added 2-3 Tbs.)
- Serve the ridiculous stroganoff over cooked pasta, garnish with fresh parsley and sob for the rest of your life.
- Serves 4!

If you don’t drink that sauce you need to see a doctor.

If I may recommend.. maybe you can add more of the corn starch flurry towards the end, or reduce it before you add it to the pasta. It may be worth trying again and thickening up! Good luck!

Did you maybe use beef bouillon instead of the beef stock? That could make a huge difference in flavor.

I made this 2 nights ago. Great slow cooker recipe- was happy to have it waiting after a long day. Had enough leftovers for two the next day. I'll definitely make again.

I would look for a vegan sour cream! I bet Whole Foods would have different options!

Made it tonight, real garlic instead of garlic powder I can only assume that your paprika is really old and weak. I love smoked paprika but, I used only 1 and 1/2 tspn of smoked paprika and it was way to much. Fortunately we used non-fat greek yogurt instead of sour cream and it helped to tone down the flavor. Next time i would only use maybe 1/4- 1/2 tspn, and add some fresh thyme. Overall a good recipe, can also be done stovetop or over over very low (e.g. 200 - 225 F) heat for several hours in a dutch oven.

Bev, this beef stroganoff is amazing! We had it for dinner last night, and I can't wait to dig into the leftovers tonight! (We only have leftovers because my kids are young and they refused to try something new. More for me and my husband!)

At great risk of being declared "dead to my family," I have to weigh in regarding this stroganoff recipe. It is AMAZING!! It's as good as my grandmother's - which is extremely high praise - and yet it is easier than her all-day recipe!! I have seen grown men refuse to talk to one another for the remainder of the evening because they didn't get the leftovers from Mamaw's stroganoff. Her stroganoff was legendary. So, when I told some family members - including my mom - that I had found a just as good but easier recipe, they reacted like I was committing heresy! That is, until they tried a bite. And then they had to confess, this recipe is oh so close to hers and oh so good!!!!Congratulations!!! And thanks for helping me pass on the love of stroganoff to my kiddos!

Hi Bev!This is currently cooking in the slow cooker and I just saw that I don't have any cornstarch. Any substitutions I can do to help thicken the sauce? Thanks!!

Yes! Mix some flour with water in a small bowl until it's thick, then stir it into the strog. That should do the trick!
