Ingredients

13.5 lb. beef chuck or other stewing beef, cut in 1.5” cube
1.5 tsp. each salt and pepper
2 Tbsp. oil
1 Tbsp. butter , unsalted
1 large onion , halved then sliced into 2/5″ slices
4 garlic cloves , minced
7 Tbsp. all purpose flour , plain
4 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 quart reduced salt beef stock or broth
1.5 cups sour cream (full fat best)

Garlic Butter Mushrooms

3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1.2 lb. mushrooms, sliced into 0.5 cm thick slices
3 garlic cloves , finely minced
1/2 tsp salt and pepper

Topping

Mashed potatoes or pasta for serving

Instructions

Pat beef dry then sprinkle with all the salt and pepper.
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy based pot or skillet over high heat. Add beef in a single layer (not squished) and brown aggressively all over – 4 minutes or so. Remove and repeat with rest of beef, adding more oil as needed.
Let the pot cool down a bit then return to stove. Melt half the butter, then cook garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened.
Sprinkle the flour across the surface, then stir. Add the mustard, and stir – it will look gluey, that’s ok, it will dissolve.
While stirring, pour in about half the beef stock then mix so the flour mixture dissolves into the liquid. It will thicken quite quickly into a gravy-like consistency .Switch to a whisk if needed, to make it lump free. Then add remaining stock, stir well, scraping the bottom of the pot, and bring to simmer. Cook using chosen method below.
Transfer all items to the slow cooker and cook for 8 hours on low (or 5 hours on high)
Mix sour cream with 1.5 cups of liquid from slow cooker, then gently stir into stew – careful, the beef is delicate!
Gently stir in mushrooms.
Serve over noodles, pasta or mashed potato, sprinkled with chives!

Comments

Excellent version! Be sure to follow step 7 by stirring gently. The beef will be very tender.
