Ingredients
Scale
- 1 kg beef (bolar blade, chuck roast or stewing steak)
- ⅓ cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
- 1 ½ 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 / beef broth (250ml)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter salted or unsalted
- 400 g swiss brown mushrooms (baby bella, chestnut, crimini) sliced
- 1 cup light sour cream or full-fat sour cream (250ml)
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- Salt to taste
- dill & parsley to serve
Instructions
- Slice the beef into thick strips or chunks, removing any tough sinew as you go.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, mustard powder, and paprika. Toss the beef strips in the flour mixture to coat, retaining any leftover mix.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry half of the beef until lightly browned. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- Repeat the browning process with the remaining beef and add it to the slow cooker.
- Add the onion, garlic, beef stock, soy sauce, and any leftover flour mixture to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 7 ½ hours.
- In the same frying pan, melt the butter and sauté the mushrooms until golden. Set aside until needed.
- After 7 ½ hours, add the mushrooms, sour cream, and cracked pepper to the slow cooker. Stir well and cook for another 30 minutes.
- Taste and add salt if needed. Serve over pasta or rice, garnished with dill and parsley.
Notes
For added flavor, consider swapping in dijon mustard for a bolder taste.
Feel free to use full-fat sour cream for a richer dish.
This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or fresh bread.
