This flavorful Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff is topped with a spicy dill-horseradish cream taking this retro dish into the stratosphere. The cream is optional but, adds a nice kick that compliments the beef perfectly.
Easy Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff Recipe
Beef Stroganoff is another one of those retro comfort food meals. Just like slow cooked chuck roast, the slow cooking process not only adds to the ease of preparation, the beef turns out so succulent and tender. Topping this dish with a dollop of dill infused horseradish cream is optional but, it compliments the flavor of the beef so well. Add a side salad and a warm buttery garlic bread and it's company worthy.
How to Make the BEST Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff Recipe
- Ingredients you'll need to make Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff: Thick cut top sirloin, portabella mushrooms, onion, salt and black pepper, steak seasoning i.e. Chicago or Montreal (use your favorite blend), beef stock, sour cream or creme fraiche, worcestershire sauce, chopped fresh parsley and a dash of nutmeg. You'll also need cooked egg noodles for serving.
- To make the Horseradish Cream you'll need: Sour cream, fresh dill and prepared horseradish. This condiment is optional but adds so much to the dish overall. Try it, you'll love it!
- Kitchen tools you'll need: One 6 quart or similar size slow cooker, measuring cups and spoons, whisk, small bowl, sharp knife and chopping board.
- I used top sirloin steak in this stroganoff. but thick cut round steak could be used, too.
- Dill and horseradish aren't typically paired with stroganoff but, the flavor combination seems to elevates this dish. It's the unexpected, if you will.
- Since the sour cream is not being incorporated with any other ingredient to stabilize it, it's important to wait until the end of cooking to add it. It should blend easily with the cooking juices.
- In addition to egg noodles as a foundation, you may also enjoy beef stroganoff served over a heaping helping of mashed potatoes from time to time, as well.
- Store Beef Stroganoff chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a saucepan over medium heat or in single servings in the microwave.
- You can also freeze it for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop.

Hi Felicia! I love your idea about greek yogurt. I've never done it, but, I think it might work nicely. Please come back and comment and let me know!
Felicia Croll
Hey Melissa 🙂 I have this cooking right now and it smells wonderful (1st time using the crockpot). I was wondering can i use greek yogurt instead of sour cream? I used 100% whole wheat flour as well and it seems to be working great. Im just trying to make food with less sodium and less fat 🙂 I also used no sodium beef powder. Im just not sure if the yogurt will taste as good. Thanks 🙂 I cant wait to eat this!!

Thanks so much Melissa! It is in the crock pot now, so will add the seasonings later. (I can't wait until it is done tonight!) I so enjoy browsing your site and enjoy trying all the wonderful recipes. Thanks for sharing and also for the quick response, I appreciate it!

Hi Debbie! Nutmeg adds a lovely enhancement to cream sauces, so add it at the end of cooking with the sour cream. The salt and black pepper was listed just so you could adjust the seasonings when adding the flour to the slow cooker to thicken. Flour isn't seasoned, and may need adjusting. I didn't list exact amounts because this is truly subjective. Hope this helps, enjoy!
Debbie
I am making this today, but cannot find where/when to put in the salt, pepper and nutmeg? Am I just over looking it? I have read and reread a half dozen times. I am one of those who must follow a recipe to the T, so this is really bugging me! 🙂
Melissa
Oh sure, it will change the flavor a bit, but, it will still be delicious. ☺

We are not big fans of mushrooms, could I omit them without messing with the flavor?
