Slow and Steady Beef Stroganoff
Here is a easy recipe to prepare, have cooking slow and steady until the end of the day when little tummies are growling.
- 3lbs (1.5 kg) beef cut in stewing chunks
- 2 onions, sliced thin
- Sliced mushrooms (be adventurous and try different kinds of mushrooms or a mix – white, brown, crimini, shiitake ) Here is a great link from Mushroom Canada that has everything about mushrooms and even learning resources
- 2 cups beef stock (can use chicken stock if you don’t have beef stock)
- 1 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 Tbsp Worchestershire sauce
Season beef cubes with salt and pepper and brown in frying pan over stovetop using olive oil. Place into slow cooker. Add sliced mushrooms and onions, garlic, thyme, worchestershire sauce, paprika and beef stock into slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
30 mins before serving, mix into slowcooker and continue cooking while preparing side dishes:
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen baby peas
- 1 cup sour cream
This is great over hot buttered egg noodles or fluffy rice. It is also great over boiled German Spaetzle (Traditional German Egg Pasta).
