Servings: 6
-
Sear the beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stew meat for 2–3 minutes per side, just until browned. Do not cook through—this step locks in flavor.
-
Build the sauce: In the slow cooker, combine the cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until smooth.
-
Add remaining ingredients: Add the seared beef, onion, and mushrooms (if using). Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
-
Cook low and slow: Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart.
-
Finish with creaminess: Stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
-
Cook noodles & serve: Prepare egg noodles according to package directions and serve stroganoff over hot noodles.
