Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef sirloin, thinly sliced into strips
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tbsp flour (optional, for thickening)

- Add in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and paprika. Stir to combine evenly.
- Cover the slow cooker and set it on low. Cook for 6 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.

- Serve the beef stroganoff over a bed of egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of black pepper.
Helpful Tips
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the sour cream with coconut cream.
- You can add a splash of brandy or white wine to the sauce for an extra depth of flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Suggested Pairings
