Technically, you could just put the meat, un-browned, in the slow cooker. But... don't: taking time to brown it helps to build flavor. The same goes for inclusions like Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and vinegar: without them, this dish falls flat.
While most stroganoff recipes do include mushrooms, I've found that they get rubbery when cooked this way. Roast them with a tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper in a 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes if you consider them a must. Then, add the mushrooms into the finished dish.

-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 small beef chuck roast, about 2 pounds total
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
-
3 clove garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
-
1 (10.5 ounce) can low-sodium beef broth
-
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
-
1 tablespoon prepared grainy mustard
-
1 teaspoon sherry or red wine vinegar
-
1/3 cup dry sherry
-
2 bay leaves
-
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
12-ounces package egg noodles
-
1 1/2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large sauté pan over Dutch oven over high heat. Season meat generously with salt and pepper. When oil is shimmering, brown meat for 3 to 5 minutes and flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer meat to a slow cooker and add onion, garlic, beef broth, Worcestershire, mustard, vinegar, sherry and bay leaves. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
-
When meat is fall-apart-tender, shred into chunks, removing and discarding any fatty parts. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
-
Transfer liquid to a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in flour, taking care there are no lumps. Add sour cream and whisk to combine. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to allow sauce to thicken. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
-
Cook noodles according to package directions and divide between individual bowls. Top with meat and spoon sauce on top. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
