Creamy Beef Stroganoff (Pork-Free) By Bella

This dish is a slow-cooker favorite that delivers deep, savory flavors. The key is in the searing of the beef before it hits the slow cooker to ensure that signature dark, rich crust.

Ingredients

Beef: 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, thinly sliced into strips.

Aromatics: 1 large onion (diced), 3 cloves garlic (minced).

Vegetables: 1 lb cremini or white button mushrooms (thickly sliced).

The Base: 2 cups beef broth (ensure it is pork-free/beef-only), 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (check label to ensure no anchovies/pork derivatives if desired), 1 tsp Dijon mustard.

The Cream: 1 cup sour cream, 2 tbsp flour (for thickening), 2 tbsp butter.

Herbs & Seasoning: 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp cracked black pepper, fresh parsley for garnish.

Serving: 1 lb wide egg noodles.

Instructions

Sear the Beef: Season the beef strips with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear the beef quickly until browned on all sides (do not cook through). Remove and place in the slow cooker.

Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add butter and sauté the onions and mushrooms until golden and the moisture has evaporated (about 8–10 minutes). Stir in the garlic.

Create the Base: Whisk the flour into the pan with the vegetables, then slowly add the beef broth, Worcestershire, and mustard. Stir until thickened, then pour this mixture over the beef in the slow cooker.

Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 4–6 hours.

Finish: Just before serving, stir in the sour cream until smooth and creamy. Do not let it boil after adding the sour cream, or it may separate.

Serve: Serve the beef and gravy over freshly boiled egg noodles and garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley.
