Equipment

  • 1 Crockpot (6-quart size recommended)
  • 1 Large skillet (optional for browning beef)
  • 1 Measuring spoon (for seasonings)
  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Sharp knife (for chopping onions and garlic)
  • 1 Stirring Spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Beef stew meat or chuck roast
  • 8 oz Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium Onion chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 cup Beef broth
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • 1 cup Heavy cream or sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil optional, for browning beef
  • Fresh parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Beef: Trim any excess fat from the beef and season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Brown the Beef (Optional): In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
    Brown the beef on all sides for about 5-7 minutes, then transfer to the crockpot.
  • Add Vegetables and Broth: Place sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the crockpot.
    Pour the beef broth over the top and stir to combine.
  • Cook in Crockpot: Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, until the beef is tender.
  • Add Creamy Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream or sour cream and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the sauce is thickened and creamy.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve over zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or enjoy as is.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a non-dairy cream alternative.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a small amount of xanthan gum or reduce the liquid to achieve your desired consistency.
  • You can also use chicken or pork instead of beef, but cooking times may vary depending on the meat.
  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
