When I was little, the comforting aroma of beef stroganoff meant it was a Sunday. My mom would start the slow cooker early in the morning, and by evening, the house was filled with a cozy warmth and a scent that could calm any storm. This version is hands-free, full of flavor, and brings back all those heart-hugging memories. Give it a try and bring a little comfort to your table too.
1 ½ lbs boneless sirloin steak, thinly sliced
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp dried dillweed
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
16 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 ½ cups low-sodium beef broth, divided
3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
¼ cup cornstarch
1 cup whole milk Greek yogurt (not nonfat)
8 oz whole wheat egg noodles (or penne/rotini)
Fresh parsley or thyme (optional)
Spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray. Add beef and season with salt, dill, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
Add mushrooms, 1 cup broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Cover and cook:
HIGH: 2–3 hours
LOW: 5–7 hours
(For firmer mushrooms, add them halfway through.)
Mix remaining ½ cup broth with cornstarch and stir in. Cook on HIGH for 20 minutes.
Stir in Greek yogurt. Cook another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook noodles. Mix in or serve separately with stroganoff ladled over. Garnish with herbs if you like.
Use ground beef as a shortcut by browning it with spices and skipping the long simmer.
Store leftovers for up to 2 days—or 4 days if you keep the noodles separate.
Best served warm and with love.
