Ingredients for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff with Mushrooms and Egg Noodles

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef strips in batches and brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned beef to the slow cooker.
Using the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer, cooking for about 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Pour the mushroom and broth mixture over the browned beef in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is very tender.
About 20 minutes before serving, cook the egg noodles in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Once the beef is cooked, stir the sour cream into the stroganoff sauce until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the creamy beef stroganoff sauce over the cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Leftovers can be cooled and stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
