Ingredients
2 lbs (900g) beef stew meat or sirloin tips, cut into bite-sized pieces
8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup (240ml) beef broth
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (for slurry)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil (for searing, optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sear the beef (optional): Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef tips with salt and pepper, then sear until browned on all sides. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
- Combine ingredients in the crockpot: Place the beef tips, mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the crockpot. Add beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or on high for 3–4 hours, until the beef is tender.
- Thicken the sauce: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the crockpot, then add the heavy cream. Cover and cook on high for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or whole milk for the heavy cream.
Add 1/2 cup of sour cream at the end for extra creaminess.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.
