Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes, ensuring uniformity for even cooking. In a large skillet on medium-high heat, sear the beef cubes for 4-5 minutes until browned on all sides.
In the same skillet, sauté chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, until translucent and aromatic. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the browned beef and sautéed vegetables into the slow cooker. Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard; sprinkle in dried thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to blend.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 7-8 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender.
Mix sour cream and flour in a bowl until smooth. Gradually stir into the slow cooker about 30 minutes before serving to thicken the sauce.
Serve over egg noodles or rice and garnish with fresh parsley.
