Creamy Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff: Meal Prep Recipe

  • Author: Rhea
  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Description

A stress-free, set-it-and-forget-it slow cooker beef stroganoff designed for meal prep. This recipe yields tender beef in a rich, creamy sauce that reheats perfectly for up to five days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (for finishing)
  • Egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Pat beef cubes dry and toss in a bowl with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and sliced mushrooms; sauté for 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent and mushrooms have released water and browned.
  3. Add minced garlic to the skillet in the last minute of cooking and stir constantly.
  4. Transfer the sautéed onions and mushrooms to the slow cooker insert.
  5. Add the flour-coated beef cubes, beef broth, and soy sauce to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine, ensuring beef is submerged.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours.
  7. Check that beef is fork-tender. If not, cook for another 30 minutes.
  8. Stir the stew well, then stir in the sour cream and grated Parmesan cheese.
  9. Cover and let sit on LOW for another 15-20 minutes to allow cheese to melt and sauce to stabilize. Do not boil.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Do not add sour cream at the beginning as it will curdle. Temper the sour cream by whisking a ladle of hot sauce into it before adding it back to the pot. For meal prep, cool completely before dividing into containers. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
