Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1" cubes sirloin works, but chuck is more forgiving
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced yellow or sweet onion adds mild sweetness
  • 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced button mushrooms are fine, too
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced fresh is best; jarred works in a pinch
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth homemade or store-bought
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika regular paprika OK; adds smoky depth
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour or 1 Tbsp cornstarch for gluten-free
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream full-fat gives extra creaminess
  • fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, then sear beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides (2-3 minutes per side).
  • Place sliced onions and mushrooms on the bottom, then spoon beef on top. Sprinkle minced garlic over everything.
  • In a small bowl, whisk broth, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon, paprika, salt, and pepper. Pour over beef and veggies—give it a gentle stir so everything gets coated.
  • Cover and cook on low for 7 hours (or high for 4 hours) until beef is fork-tender. No peeking—each lift of the lid steals heat!
  • About 20 minutes before serving, whisk flour (or cornstarch) into Greek yogurt until lumps vanish.
  • Remove cooker lid, stir in yogurt mixture, then replace lid and cook another 15-20 minutes on high until sauce is glossy and thick. If it feels thin, let it cook uncovered for a few more minutes.
  • Give it a quick stir, adjust salt and pepper if needed, and sprinkle with parsley.
  • Ladle over buttered egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or even cauliflower rice for a low-carb comfort boost.

Notes

Browning the beef adds flavor depth. Greek yogurt holds up well when whisked properly. Leftovers taste better the next day. Taste before serving to adjust seasoning.
