Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff
Winter is the time of year  we search for the ultimate comfort food recipes and dig out the old slow cooker. I had a nice sirloin roast to cook and this was the perfect time to try a recipe I had been saved. A favourite Chef of mine is Ricardo.   He is a French Canadian Chef who has a wonderful show on the Food Network called Ricardo and Friends. As I was browsing through his cookbooks I came across a great looking recipe for Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff. My search was over, let the cooking begin!

Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff

I must say this recipe has to be the Ultimate Beef Stroganoff. The meat was so tender and the sauce full of flavour. The only modification I made to the recipe was replacing plain yogurt with sour cream as that is what I had on hand. I also used both the Dijon and Meaux mustard. Next time I make this recipe I will double it up as it is so good you will want a second helping!

    Love your pictures, they look the way I want my food to look when cooked in the crockpot. I believe the prebrowning and cooking of other ingredients helps. What size crockpot are you using? I have a 6 qt and am wondering if I made extra if it would freeze, minus the sour cream. Upon warm up I would add the sour cream.

      Thanks Kandy, I love opening my email in the morning and see a note of someone that has enjoyed one of my recipes. I think pre- browning really adds some great extra flavour to the dish. The crockpot I use is 6 qt. This would be a great recipe to freeze, and like you said just add the sour cream after its warmed up.

    Laureen, Ricardo just released all of his slow cooker favourites in a new book. Picked it up from Costco yesterday. Never been much of a slow cooker fan, but love Ricardo so I trust they will be delicious.

    Ok. I just prepared this recipe. And isn’t the whole purpose of using a sslowcooker to save time and let the slow cooker do the cooking. Basically the frying pan cooked everything. The slow cooker just kept it warm. Makes no sense

      Hi Tanya, I use my slow cooker for multiple uses. Sometimes for a time saver, ex throw the chicken in and hit start, but I also like using a slow cooker for slow cooking meat dishes such as this beef stroganoff dish which will give you that fork tender beef. You will find a lot of the best slow cooker recipes take a bit of prep work, which can be done the evening or morning before and then the slow cooker can cook until ready to eat.

    Oh my goodness. I am just finished pouring the last into the crockpot and can already tell this is a WINNER.
    THANK YOU- glad I found on Pinterest! Going to serve on spaghetti squash to lighten us up .

    I think this looks great! I’m going to use venison and my slow cooker can be used on the stove (thus losing a extra pan to wash). It sounds delightful. Tomorrow is the big day!!! Thank you! 🙂 I use recipes as a guideline. I’m sure this will be fabulous!

    Sounds delish! I am going to prep everything right now and then it will be ready to be thrown into the slow cooker on my lunch break tomorrow. Thanks so much 🙂 I will be checking out your other recipes.

    Hi, this sounds wonderful. Just 1 question – what does the red wine do? I’m a Newby at cooking with wine and I want to understand what the red wine does. Please advise. Thank you.

    This will be the second time I’ve made this recipe. Love it! So tasty and the meat turns out so tender. This will be my go to stroganoff recipe. Pairing the left over red wine is always a plus with dinner!

      Hi Estelle, I usually use a cabernet sauvignon, but any good full bodied red wine works. I use what I like to drink and have on hand. I slice the meat to about 1/4 inch thickness. Hope you enjoy the recipe.

    I tried this recipe and it was super delicious! I just made a few changes simply because I did not have all the required ingredients. I used ground mustard instead of grainy one and I used topping sour cream, which I added to the slow cooker for the last half hour or so, as I wanted a creamier sauce. It was so delicious that my older son (who hates mushrooms) devoured everything and suggested we serve this dish as main course for our family Christmas lunch!! 🙂 Thanks a lot xx
