Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast and cut into 1-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown beef cubes in batches for about 5 minutes per batch. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms; cook until mushrooms release juices and start to brown, about 7 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Deglaze the skillet with ½ cup beef broth, scraping browned bits from the pan.
  5. Transfer browned beef, sautéed vegetables, remaining 1½ cups beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and flour to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until beef is fork-tender.
  7. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt until fully incorporated. Avoid boiling after adding sour cream.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot over buttered egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or arrowroot powder. For dairy-free, use coconut cream or cashew cream instead of sour cream. Brown the beef before slow cooking to enhance flavor. Stir sour cream in at the end to prevent curdling. If sauce is too thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry; if too thick, add broth or water.
