Ingredients
- 1 kg beef (bolar blade, chuck roast or stewing steak), sliced into strips or chunks
- 1/3 cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons mild paprika
- 3 teaspoons mustard powder or Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef stock or beef broth
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 400 g swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup light sour cream
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Salt, to taste
- Dill and parsley, for serving
Instructions
- Slice the beef into thick strips or chunks, removing any tough sinew.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, mustard powder, and paprika. Toss the beef in the flour mixture until coated, reserving any leftover flour mixture.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown half of the beef on all sides, then transfer to the slow cooker. Repeat with the remaining beef.
- Add the onion, garlic, beef stock, soy sauce, and any remaining flour mixture to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 7 1/2 hours.
- In the same frying pan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté until golden and tender. Refrigerate until needed.
- After 7 1/2 hours, stir the mushrooms, sour cream, and black pepper into the slow cooker.
- Cook for an additional 30 minutes on low until creamy and heated through.
- Season with salt to taste and serve over cooked pasta or rice, garnished with dill and parsley.
Notes
- Chuck roast or stewing beef works best for tender results.
- For a richer sauce, use full-fat sour cream.
- Add the sour cream at the end to prevent curdling.
- Serve with egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
