Ingredients
2½ pounds stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ cup flour
3–6 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons cold butter, divided
½ cup white wine (or chicken broth)
16 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
1 small yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon beef bouillon or 1 bouillon cube
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup cornstarch + ¼ cup cold water (slurry)
1½ cups full-fat sour cream
10.5 oz. cream of mushroom soup (optional)
1 pound wide homestyle egg noodles, for serving
Instructions
1. Cut meat into 1-inch cubes, pat dry, and remove large fat pieces.
2. Season with garlic salt and pepper, then coat in flour.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high and sear meat in batches for 45 seconds per side, then remove.
4. Add 1 tablespoon butter and white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits.
5. Add onions and mushrooms, cook for 4 minutes, then add garlic for 1 minute.
6. In the slow cooker, combine broth, bouillon, vinegar, Worcestershire, and mustard.
7. Add seared beef and mushroom mixture to the slow cooker.
8. Cook on high for 4–5 hours or low for 8–9 hours until tender.
9. Mix cornstarch and cold water to make a slurry, then stir into the slow cooker.
10. Switch to warm and whisk sour cream with 1 cup of hot cooking liquid, then add it in.
11. Optionally stir in cream of mushroom soup and remaining butter before serving.
12. Serve over egg noodles and enjoy.
Notes
Use full-fat sour cream for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
Cream of mushroom soup is optional but adds extra richness.
For a shortcut, skip searing and add raw beef directly to the slow cooker.
Freeze leftovers without noodles for up to 3 months.
Reheat slowly to prevent curdling.
