Main ingredients
  • 1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced Slice against the grain for the most tender bites
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white)
  • 1 cup homemade condensed cream of mushroom soup (or store-bought)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup sour cream Can swap Greek yogurt for a tangier finish
  • Cooked egg noodles, for serving
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the thinly sliced sirloin, chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced mushrooms into your slow cooker.
  2. Pour in the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. Add the Worcestershire, then season with a little salt and several grinds of black pepper.
  3. Stir everything once to combine and distribute ingredients evenly.
Cooking
  1. Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours. The beef should be fork-tender.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, turn the slow cooker to low. Stir in the sour cream until smooth and integrated. Taste and adjust salt/pepper.
Serving
  1. Serve the stroganoff spooned over hot egg noodles. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for color and freshness.

Notes

For bolder flavor, sear the beef in a hot pan for 1–2 minutes per side before adding to the crock pot. Also, consider variations like using mashed potatoes or roasted cauliflower with the stroganoff.
