2poundschuck roast or beef stew piecescut into 1-inch chunks
1medium onionminced
2tablespoonscornstarchfor thickening
Instructions
Place the beef cubes, minced onion, crushed garlic, and sliced mushrooms into the bowl of a slow cooker.
Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard if using, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Secure the lid and cook on the low setting for 6 to 7 hours, or use the high setting for approximately 4 hours, until the beef becomes tender and flavorful.
About 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time, whisk together cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a smooth slurry. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Just before serving, incorporate the sour cream into the mixture, stirring well to achieve a rich and velvety consistency.
To serve, spoon the creamy beef and mushroom sauce over freshly cooked egg noodles. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
Notes
For best results, cook the noodles just before serving to maintain their texture. If using Dijon mustard, it enhances the savory profile but can be omitted for a milder flavor.
