What cut of meat is best for beef stroganoff?

Fresh cuts of stewed beef are my absolute favourite for this crock pot beef stroganoff recipe. Magic happens when you just chuck them into a crock pot full of flavours, and slow cook them until perfectly tender.

Why does my beef stroganoff taste sour?

Adding in too many acidic ingredients! An excess of worcestershire sauce, tomatoes, vinegar or wine will not end well in this dish. Crockpot beef stroganoff is delicate and shouldn’t be overwhelmed with a heavy amount of acidic or ingredients. It requires balance and moderation.

A quick fix for sour beef stroganoff is adding in sweet ingredients like honey, sugar or caramelised onions. These ingredients excel in counteracting any sour flavours present.

Crockpot Beef Stroganoff Cooking Tips:

• Cook beef at low or moderate temperature for the recommended time.
• Be careful not to overcook the egg noodles. Good texture increases enjoyment.
• If you prefer adding the soup toward the end, you can add it into the crock pot during the last 40 minutes to 1 hour of cooking.

Variations:

• If you don’t like the sour cream version of it, there’s a soup version (like ours).
• If you like a sweeter taste, the wine version might be your favorite.
• You can change the cut of meat from stewed to lean beef mince, which is quicker but doesn’t have that tender and juicy meaty effect.
