Beef Stroganoff  

January is the perfect month to turn on your slow cooker (aka, crockpot) and come home to a warm, hearty, and tasty meal!  Many of these ingredients can be found in your pantry already.
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (1-pound) top round steak (1 inch thick), trimmed
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (8-ounce) package sliced mushrooms (about 2 cups)
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 (8-ounce) container low-fat sour cream
  • 2 cups hot cooked medium egg noodles (about 4 ounces uncooked)

Preparation

  1. 1. Cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place steak and next 8 ingredients (though garlic) in a 3-quart electric slow cooker; stir well.
  2. 2. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Place flour in a small bowl; gradually add broth, stirring with a whisk until blended. Add broth mixture to slow cooker; stir well. Cover with lid; cook on high-heat setting 1 hour. Reduce to low-heat setting, and cook 7 to 8 hours or until steak is tender. Turn slow cooker off; remove lid. Let stroganoff stand 10 minutes. Stir in sour cream. Serve stroganoff over noodles.
