Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
The BEST slow cooker beef stroganoff from scratch. The crockpot makes it easy and hands free. Comforting, creamy, and classic.
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 5 hours
Total: 5 hours 30 minutes
Servings: 6 servings (8 cups)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless sirloin steak cut into thin (1/2-inch-thick) 2-inchx1-inch strips
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon dried dillweed
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 16 ounces cremini baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth divided
- 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 cup plain whole milk Greek yogurt do not use nonfat or it will curdle
- 8 ounces whole wheat egg noodles penne, rotini, or similar noodles work well also
- Fresh parsley or thyme optional for serving
Instructions
- Grease the bottom of a 6-quart or larger slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add the sirloin and sprinkle with salt, dill, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to coat the meat.
- Add the mushrooms, 1 cup beef broth, Worcestershire, and Dijon. Cover and cook on high for 2 to 3 hours or on low for 5 to 7 hours, until the beef is cooked through and tender. (If you prefer firmer mushrooms, wait to add them until about halfway through the cook time.)
- Stir the cornstarch together with the remaining 1/2 cup broth to create a slurry. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 20 minutes, and then stir in the Greek yogurt. Re-cover and cook on high for an additional 10 minutes.
- While the stroganoff finishes cooking, cook the noodles according to package instructions. Stir into the slow cooker or pile separately into bowls and ladle the stroganoff over the top. Serve immediately, topped with fresh thyme or parsley as desired.
Notes
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage (up to 4 days) store the stroganoff sauce and pasta separately.
- To make with ground beef instead of sirloin: In a large skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the ground beef and sprinkle with the seasonings. Cook, breaking apart the ground beef and stirring to evenly incorporate the spices, until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease and discard. Transfer the ground beef to the crock pot and proceed with step 2.
