Easy Crock-Pot® Beef Stroganoff

Easy Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff

Portions:
6

Serving Size:
2/3 cup stroganoff, 1 cup egg noodles

    Diet Types:
  • Dialysis

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup onion
  • 2  garlic cloves
  • 1 pound boneless beef top round, cut into 1” cubes
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium beef broth
  • 1/3 cup dry sherry
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 12 ounces egg noodles, uncooked

Preparation

  1. Chop onion and mince garlic cloves.
  2. Mix the beef, broth, sherry, onion, garlic, oregano, pepper, thyme and bay leaf in a Crock-Pot. Cover and cook on high until beef is tender, 4 to 5 hours.
  3. Combine the sour cream, flour and water; mix until smooth.
  4. Add the sour cream mixture to the beef in the Crock-Pot and allow to cook another 15 to 25 minutes until the mixture is thickened. 
  5. Cook egg noodles according to package instructions, omitting salt. Drain.
  6. Serve stroganoff over egg noodles.

Helpful hints

  • If you are on a lower protein diet, adjust the meat portion according to your meal plan.
  • Double the ingredients for the Crock-Pot. When beef is tender, reserve one half of the cooked beef, cool and freeze for later use. When reusing, allow frozen beef mixture to thaw in refrigerator overnight. Reheat slowly over medium heat. Mix the sour cream, flour and water until smooth. Blend into reheated beef mixture and cook until thickened.
  • Look for reduced-sodium broth containing 500 milligrams sodium or less per 1 cup serving. Avoid low sodium broths and bouillons that contain potassium chloride—it’s very high in potassium.
  • Cooking sherry contains added salt; use regular sherry instead.

Am making this today, planning to cook in low. Is there any reason why recipe calls for cooking on high? Dietitian comment: Most crock-pot recipes are versatile enough to cook on either high or low setting. Adjust the time to 8-10 hours for the low setting.

I was wondering if i could use hamburger instead of beef tip. The meat in the store is so high but trying to do it right on a budget. Dietitian comment: Yes you can make the ground meat substitution. However I would cook on low for 4-5 hours or decrease the cooking time to 2-3 hours.

I made this today and it came out dry and pasty. I left out the cherry and bay leaf. But otherwise i did everything exactly the same. I’m trying to do better because of my potassium has been high and I’m on dialysis. Dietitian comment: Sounds like more liquid was needed. Would increase the broth or water by 1/3 cup if sherry is omitted. Also it may help to toast the flour--that can get rid of the pasty taste from white flour.

Enjoyed the meal, but wish it could have been “sweeter” and maybe a little creamier.. Is there any way to make it sweeter? Dietitian comment: You could add a sweetener of choice. I sometimes add a sweet apple to stews--this might work for the stroganoff.

I want to try this recipe today but I don't have the Sherry. Could I use white wine instead? Dietitian comment: Yes--or you can omit it.

Is there a way to add mushrooms either canned or fresh without adding too much potassium/salt? I had an awesome recipe that I used to love and am really missing it since I started this diet. :( Dietitian comment: You can add 1 cup of sliced white mushrooms. Potassium is increased by 37 mg per serving, phosphorus by 10 mg per serving and sodium less than 1 mg per serving.

My dad loved this! I didn't have a crockpot so I cooked the beef on low for 5 hours. I used almond milk instead of non-dairy creamer. The flavors were good and it was creamy. To rewarm leftovers, I added more organic sour cream and almond milk to the pot before heating up. This will keep everything from drying out. Keeps well in the fridge.

We threw it away and ate sandwiches. I thought I MUST have done something wrong, so I made it again, with the same result.

I was comparing this to another recipe you have...creamy beef and noodles. Can you explain why this is not CDK friendly when the other one is. Is it the sherry, or the portion size? Except for the sherry and a few of the spices they seem very similar in ingredients. Thanks! Dietitian comment: It's related to the portion size. You could include this recipe for CKD if you reduce the portion to match your protein targets.

A great "comfort" food. But I've served it as an elegant dinner entree. Everyone loves it.

I have to rate this recipe as a 1 star. It had no taste and was pasty in color and texture. I would not make it again. Sorry

My husband and I enjoy this recipe as a date meal. The sherry gives it a good flavor. I 4x the recipe. It tastes good after being frozen.
