Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 lbs beef chuck roast
  • 10 oz fresh cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep and Sear the Roast: Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until a deep brown crust forms. This seals in juices and builds flavor.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, cook chopped onions and garlic until soft and fragrant. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and start to brown, creating a flavorful base.
  3. Load the Slow Cooker: Place the seared roast in the slow cooker. Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Spoon the mushroom mixture over the roast. Add thyme or other fresh herbs if desired. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  4. Prepare the Stroganoff Sauce: Remove the beef and shred or slice it as preferred. In a small bowl, mix sour cream with flour or cornstarch to create a slurry. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker broth and simmer for another 15-20 minutes to thicken the sauce.
  5. Combine and Serve: Return the shredded beef to the thickened stroganoff sauce and gently mix to coat. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and alongside your preferred sides such as buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Always sear the beef before slow cooking to deepen flavor.
  • Cook on low heat for maximum tenderness.
  • Add sour cream at the end to prevent curdling.
  • Use a flour or cornstarch slurry to thicken sauce evenly without lumps.
  • Mix different mushrooms like shiitake or button mushrooms for added depth.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free flour or cornstarch and gluten-free Worcestershire sauce or substitutes.
