In Martha Stewart’s Slow Cooker, classic recipes are adapted for the beloved counter top device, making meal prep virtually hands-off.
You’ll notice an interesting trick in our recipe for this favorite. After the meat and vegetables are cooked for several hours, we make a slurry and boil it very briefly (one minute!), just until thickened. Then it is stirred into the meat mixture, off the heat, with sour cream and mustard, for a luxuriously creamy finish that you wouldn’t get from the slow cooker itself.
Directions
- Preheat a 5-to 6-quart slow cooker.
- Place beef, onion, mushrooms, 1½ teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in the slow cooker; toss to combine. Cover and cook on low until meat is tender, about 8 hours (or on high for 6 hours).
- In a heatproof measuring cup, whisk cornstarch with the water. Ladle 1 cup cooking liquid into measuring cup; whisk to combine. Pour into a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Cook until thickened, about 1 minute. With slow cooker turned off, stir in cornstarch mixture, then sour cream and mustard. Serve beef over egg noodles and top with dill.
