Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff is a hearty and comforting weeknight dinner waiting for you. Tender beef, rich savory sauce, mushrooms, and served over a bed of egg noodles.
I grew up hating Beef Stroganoff with a passion. My mom’s recipe used cream of mushroom soup which I could not stand as a kid. Mind you I was a very picky eater and hard to please.
The list of foods I would eat was short. I know I gave my parents a very hard time with eating as a kid. Thankfully I grew out of it and now am willing to try just about anything at least once. A big change from my 8 year old self!
This recipe for Beef Stroganoff does not include cream of mushroom soup and is also made in the slow cooker. It uses fresh mushrooms not canned – which I still don’t like.
There’s no pre-cooking anything. Just dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker except the sour cream and set it on low. Simple! My house smells so good while it’s cooking and it’s hard to not want to sneak a quick taste.
Ingredients
- Steak of your choice
- Onions
- Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper
- Dried dill
- Mushrooms
- Garlic
- All-purpose flour
- Beef broth
- Sour cream

How to Make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
- Step One: Place steak, onions, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, dill, mushrooms and garlic in a slow cooker and stir together.

- Step Three: Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours.
- Step Four: Turn slow cooker off and remove lid and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in sour cream.
- Step Five: Serve sauce on a bed of egg noodles. Garnish with fresh dill, if desired.
Dump and Cook Slow Cooker Recipe
My niece, Avery, was visiting over the holidays and spent the night at our house. She’s six years old and cute as a button. She’s also very intelligent and told me that she loved the recipe. She cleaned her entire plate! She is not picky like my girls! Bridget would only eat the sauce as long as I didn’t get any mushrooms in it. Olivia ate it and thankfully has outgrown her picky behaviour.
I would make this more often if the steak wasn’t so darn expensive. It’s funny because the steak was cheaper in Nova Scotia, but the chicken was pricey. Here in Ontario, it’s the opposite!
We eat more chicken, but I do like to mix it up with beef every so often.
What is the Best Beef for Beef Stroganoff
You are welcome to use any type of beef you would like. Whether you buy beef stew meat, flat iron steak, or more. You will want to cut up your steak for this recipe.
You will find that better quality beef will give you a more tender and flavorful stroganoff. But since it cooks low and slow for such a long time, it will do great tenderizing even tastier.
Why Do You Let the Crock-Pot Cool Before Storing in Sour Cream
You will need to let your crock pot cool down a bit because if you dump the sour cream in while it is pretty hot you will find it curdles right away. You can also whisk in the sour cream to help it to incorporate it into the mixture.

Can I Make this Beef Stroganoff on the Stove
Of course, you will do essentially the same steps but you won’t cook for near as long. You would turn the stove to low once you begin cooking and stir occasionally. Once your steak is fully cooked and begins to get tender, you can then turn off for 15 minutes just like the slow cooker method. Then stir in the sour cream and serve.
How Long Does Beef Stroganoff Store for
You can store this stroganoff in the fridge for up to three days. Anything after that you will want to use your best judgment in terms of if the dish has spoiled.
Then to reheat you can toss in the microwave for a quick reheat, stovetop or if you want to make a lot crockpot for reheating. It is totally up to you on how you choose to reheat your beef stroganoff.
This truly is a hearty, comforting and delicious dinner. If you want to serve up a tasty meal but don’t want a ton of prep, give it a try and let me know how you like this recipe.

I have never made beef stroganoff but I love it! Thank you for the recipe!!
Mmmm I love Beef Stroganoff. Need to dig out the slow cooker!
This sounds absolutely delicious and easy! I hope to try it soon. Thanks!
Love this recipe, Stacie! Beef stroganoff was one of my favorite meals growing up, but I haven’t taken the time to make it for my kids yet. If I can dump it all in the slow cooker (and it doesn’t use canned mushrooms or soup!), I’m sold. Can’t wait to try this. Pinned! 🙂
I can’t wait to try this recipe!
Beef Stroganoff will be a hit after all the turkey,thanks
This seems good. I will add this to my recipes. I love crock pot meals. I work full time and so crock pot meals are a way of life in my house.
I have a microwave recipe which came in a book with my first microwave over 30 years ago. Takes about 20 minutes to cook. uses no spices, just beef broth, salt and pepper. I will still probably cook it that way, but may add the garlic, dill and mustard next time.
Beef stroganoff is something the whole family enjoys. Wonderful time of year for slow-cooker recipes and warming, comfort food. Sounds great!
Funny, my husband just mentioned today that he would like this on the weekend! Was going to look for a recipe! How handy! Thanks!
i don’t eat beef or pork and I have never made beef stroganoff. It would definitely make a nice hearty meal for people who eat beef.Perhaps I can substitute in some chicken or vegetables. It does look delicious even though I can’t eat it. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
I recently had “beef” Stroganoff with tuna instead of beef on a canoeing trip. It sounded gross. I was skeptical. But, I tried it and it was delish!! The recipe was taken from the back of a Schilling stroganoff mix. This slow cooker recipe might work as well though I would tend to put the tuna in at the last, like the sour cream. Good luck!!
Mushrooms are hearty enough to stand on their own and many vegetarians use them in place of meat. Just try increasing the amount of mushrooms, and maybe add some quality beef stock just for flavor, if that’s not unappealing?? But it should also work well with chicken.
I’ve never done it in a slow cooker. I love beef stroganoff.
Happy New Year! Love beef stroganoff, thank you for this recipe!
Looks like a yummy recipe. My dad doesn’t like can mushrooms either. My daughter doesn’t like any kind of mushrooms, so when I make beef stroganoff in the crockpot, she just has to pick them out.
Do you think the mushrooms add a lot of flavor? I have to admit that I would be tempted to just leave them out…
My daughter doesn’t like them either. Just leave them out – should be fine!
My tummy’s rumbling already. I love beef stroganoff and will definitely be trying out your recipe, also in it’s favour is the fact that it’s cooked in the slow cooker, still collecting recipes for that 🙂
My hubby bought me a new slow cooker for Christmas, so I can’t wait to give this recipe a try, thanks for sharing!!
I’ve never done Beef Stroganoff in the slow cooker….something to try over the weekend!
I make my Beef Stroganoff in the Slow Cooker! But this is not the recipe I use. I want to make Beef Stroganoff using your recipe next time. It looks so delicious! Thanks for sharing!
LOVE Beef Stroganoff and love it even more now knowing I can make it in the slow cooker!
Happy New Year, Stacie!
