Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil in a pan over a medium heat. Cook 700 g Beef until browned all over. Remove form the pan and set aside.
  • Melt 25 g Butter in the pan and cook 150 g Mushrooms and 4 Shallots until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the beef, 2 Garlic clove and the cooked mushrooms and shallots to a slow cooker pot.
  • Add 2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoon Wholegrain mustard and season with 1 Pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper. Pour in 350 ml Beef stock to cover the meat. Cook on high for 5 hours.
  • When cooked, add 1 tablespoon Cornflour (corn starch) and 250 ml Sour cream to thicken the sauce.
  • Serve with 1 tablespoon Paprika and Fresh parsley sprinkled on top (optional).

Notes

  • You can make this lighter by stirring in Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, however this a risk of it splitting.
  • Make sure you add the sour cream at the end, to avoid it splitting.
  • You can swap wholegrain mustard for Dijon if that's all you have.
  • You could swap some of the stock for white wine if you like.
  • You can make this with ground beef instead. Fry it in a pan with a little oil and then drain off any excess and add to the slow cooker at the same time you would the diced beef.
  • We added parsley at the end, however you can swap that for chives.
  • Rather than serving it on mash or rice, you could add chunks of potato to the slow cooker and cook it all together.
  • If you sauce is too thin, add a little more cornflour. You don't want to add too much though, as it will taste floury.
  • Don't stir it too aggressively when you add the sour cream, as the beef might fall apart too much.
