Beef Stroganoff - slow cook style for Linda after work


This is one of those recipes that you can prep a day ahead and leave in the slow cooker/instant pot insert overnight in the fridge.  Before you leave for work, pop the insert into the instant pot and turn onto 'slow cook' for 6-8 hours. When you arrive home your main course is ready. Cook the noodles and enjoy!



2 onions - always saute the onions & garlic for this recipe. I have tried adding raw onions and turning it on and it just doesn't cook the onions well enough.
3 cloves of garlic
3 tbsp. olive oil

750g - 1 kg. steak of choice ( today I used a top sirloin steak that was on sale) sliced in long strips
1/2 can or 1 cup of tomato puree
5.5 oz. can tomato paste
2 tbsp. paprika
3/4 cup of beef stock
1/4 cup red wine

save for later:
6-8  cremini mushrooms - sliced thin
1/2 cup sour cream (dollop a tablespoon onto the stroganoff on your plate)


Slice up onions and garlic and saute in olive oil. This is a must for most recipes... if you do not saute the onions and garlic it ruins the flavor of your dish as all you taste if raw onions.
Add to the onions: steak, tomato paste, tomato puree, paprika, and beef stock or broth
Set the slow cooker to medium for heat for 6-8 hours.

When the cooking time is up add the sliced mushrooms to the stroganoff. Turn the heat back on and cook for 10 minutes and allow the mushrooms to cook.
Today I am cooking up some fresh Fettuccine noodles (Duso's brand) as my starch base for this stroganoff. If pasta is not your thing then mashed potatoes are a great alternative.

Add a dollop of sour cream to your serving of stroganoff.



Miriam's Time Saving Tip
if you do not have beef stock or broth on hand I always have 'better than bouillon - beef base' in the fridge.

Duso's fresh fettuccine is so very delicious
