Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast cut into 2-inch chunks
  • 1 large onion sliced
  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 0.25 cup cold water
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 oz egg noodles or any pasta, cooked
  • Fresh dill for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • small saucepan
  • whisk
  • Large pot for cooking noodles

Method
 

  1. Trim excess fat from beef chuck and cut into chunks.
  2. Place beef, onion, and mushrooms in the slow cooker. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss gently.
  3. Pour beef broth over the mixture. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, cook egg noodles according to package directions.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk cornstarch with cold water to form a smooth slurry.
  6. Ladle 1 cup of hot broth from the slow cooker into a small saucepan. Whisk in the slurry.
  7. Heat over medium, whisking constantly, until thickened (about 2–3 minutes). Return mixture to slow cooker.
  8. Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot over noodles, garnished with fresh dill if desired.

Notes

Chuck roast delivers the most tender texture with long slow cooking. Baby bella mushrooms give a deeper flavor. Dish tastes better the next day. Don’t boil after adding sour cream—just heat through.
