Ingredients
  

  • 2-2 1/2 pounds beef stew meat cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch chunks
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 onion medium, finely chopped (optional)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10.5 oz
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme or Italian seasoning optional
  • 8 oz mushrooms sliced, fresh or canned (optional)
  • 3/4-1 cup sour cream adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch optional
  • 2 tbsp cold water for slurry (optional)
  • egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for serving
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the beef stew meat into the slow cooker. Season with salt and black pepper. Add chopped onion and mushrooms if using.
  • In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, and optional seasoning until smooth.
  • Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the beef, making sure all pieces are coated.
  • Gently stir to combine, ensuring most of the beef is submerged in the sauce.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours until the beef is tender.
  • If a thicker sauce is desired, mix cornstarch and cold water, stir into the slow cooker, and cook for 15-20 minutes until thickened.
  • Reduce heat to LOW or WARM and stir in sour cream until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  • Serve hot over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For deeper flavor, sear the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. You can also swap sour cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter option.
