4 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 (0.87-ounce) packet brown gravy mix*

Directions: |
Directions:Wash the meat and pat it completely dry. Coat all the beef in a ziploc with flour, salt, and pepper.
Brown beef aggressively. The better the browning, the better the flavour in the sauce and on the beef! Do this in batches, don't overcrowd the beef. Add more oil as necessary.
Let the pan cool down a little bit then Sauté the onion first and then add the garlic, mix in the flour; (there may be enough flour in the pan from browning the meat, adjust accordingly)
Add everything (except the sour cream, this is added at the end of cooking time) into the slow cooker (or pot);
Slow cook 8 hours on low or 5 hours on high in crockpot (or use methods below)
SLOW COOKING – CHOOSE METHOD:
Slow cooker: Transfer all liquid into slow cooker. Add beef, then slow cook 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH.
Stove: Add beef into pot. Cover with lid and adjust heat to low/medium low so the it's simmering gently. Simmer 2 hrs (check at 1.5 hrs) until beef beef falls apart easily.
Instant pot: SKIP FLOUR, follow Note 5 Gluten Free option. 40 minutes on high, same method as slow cooker.
Whisk the sour cream with some of the liquid in the slow cooker – this will ensure you don’t end up with sour cream specks in the sauce (can’t mix vigorously otherwise the beef crumbles!);

Notes: Fall apart tender chunks of beef rather than thin strips that are just cooked so they’re juicy inside;
Made with economical stewing beef rather than good to high quality well marbled steak (essential for a really great traditional Beef Stroganoff); and
Deeper flavour in the sauce – owing to the long cook time. You can’t shortcut this kind of flavour!
This slow cooked beef melts in your mouth and the depth of flavour in the sauce is magnificent!
I don't care for mushrooms so I use Chaga Mushroom Powder for the mushroom flavor and health benefits.
