Slow Cooked Beef Stroganoff

This slow cooked Beef Stroganoff is a classic family favourite that is perfect any time of the year! Slow cooked for tender, flavoursome beef; this is also a great budget meal!

Beef Stroganoff is one of those hearty comfort foods that just seems to soothe the soul. And it’s so much better cooked in a slow cooker! It’s easy, it’s creamy and full of flavour and the best part is you can put it on before you go to work and come home to a delicious dinner!

What Makes This Version Better?

There are a few main differences between this slow cooked Beef Stroganoff and the classic stovetop version.

• It’s made with cheaper cuts of meat rather than higher quality, more expensive cuts which makes it a great budget meal for families!
• Allowing the sauce to slow cook gives it much deeper and tastier flavours, which means one delicious dinner!
• The beef is so tender that the meat literally just falls apart in your mouth! I mean, you can break it apart with a spoon.

Can I Substitute Chuck Steak for a Different cut?

You can absolutely use any type of stewing cuts of beef! Here are a few suggestions…

• Beef Cheeks
• Blade Steak
• Beef Brisket

Sometimes you may even be able to buy packs of diced beef labeled ‘Stewing Steak’ or ‘Casserole Beef’ which comes in handy as it’s pre-diced.
