Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Large Pot or Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1.75 kg beef chuck cut in 4cm cubes
  • 1.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 20 g butter unsalted
  • 1 large onion halved and sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 7 tablespoon flour plain / all purpose
  • 4 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 litre beef stock reduced salt
  • 1.5 cups sour cream full fat best

Garlic Butter Mushrooms

  • 3 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 700 g mushrooms sliced into 0.5cm thick slices
  • 3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper

Serving

  • Pasta or wide egg noodles or mashed potato
  • Chives for garnish

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Pat beef dry then sprinkle with all salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy based pot or skillet over high heat. Add beef in a single layer and brown all over for about 4 minutes.
  • Remove and repeat with the rest of the beef, adding more oil as needed.
  • Let the pot cool down, 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 in the mustard until smooth.
  • While stirring, pour in about half the beef stock and mix to dissolve the flour. Add remaining stock, stir well, and bring to a simmer.

Cooking

  • Transfer all liquid to slow cooker. Add beef, then slow cook for 8 hours on LOW or 5 hours on HIGH.
  • Alternatively, cover and simmer on the stove for 2 hours until beef is tender.
  • For Instant Pot, skip flour, and cook on high for 40 minutes.

Garlic Butter Mushrooms

  • Melt half the butter in a skillet over high heat. Add half the mushrooms and cook until almost golden.
  • Add half the garlic, salt and pepper, and cook until golden.
  • Remove and repeat with remaining butter, mushrooms, and garlic.

Finishing Stew

  • Mix sour cream with 1.5 cups of liquid from the slow cooker, then gently stir into the stew.
  • Stir in mushrooms and serve over noodles or mashed potato, sprinkled with chives.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, skip the flour and use cornstarch slurry to thicken.
