Ingredients
- 1.5kg diced stewing beef
- 1½tsp each of salt and pepper
- 2tbsp olive oil
- 1tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, halved and sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 7tbsp plain flour
- 1 litre organic beef bone broth
- 300g sour cream
For The Garlic Butter Mushrooms
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 700g mushrooms, sliced into 0.5cm thick slices
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ tsp salt and pepper
Method
- Pat dry the organic diced stewing beef and sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a pan heat the olive oil and add the beef in batches, browning quite aggressively, this will bring out the flavouring in the beef. Once you have browned the beef in batches, set aside.
- Melt the butter in the pan and cook the garlic and onion for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the flour and mustard, ensuring the onions and garlic are fully coated.
- Add the beef, onions, garlic and beef bone broth to the slow cooker, and cook on high for 5 hours or low on 8 hours.
- For the garlic mushrooms – melt half of the butter in a large pan, add the half of the mushrooms and garlic and cook until almost golden, set a side and do the same with the remaining mushrooms and garlic.
- Mix the sour cream with a cup of the liquid from the slow cooker, then gently add and stir through the beef mix. Mixing the sour cream with the sauce in this way before adding to the slow cooker ensures you do not end up with clumps or specks of sour cream. Then add the mushrooms to the slow cooker and again gently stir through.
- Serve you organic beef stroganoff with fresh tagliatelle pasta, sticky white rice or creamy mash and fresh greens.
This recipe can be also be cooked in a pan, cover with a lid and cook for 2 hours on low to medium heat so that the sauce is simmering. At about 1 ½ hours check the beef, continue to cook until the beef becomes tender and falls apart easily.

Frequently asked questions
-
Organic grass-fed beef is reared using the rigorous standards set out by the Soil Association. Our cows live active, free-range lives and we farm them in harmony with nature - grazing livestock, in turn, helps to regenerate the health of our soil. At Coombe Farm Organic, we select only the highest-quality cuts to deliver pure, distinctive flavour every time. Grass-fed beef is a nutrient dense food. It’s one of our best sources of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron, zinc and Vitamin B12 which are either absent or hard for us to absorb from plants. It’s fats also give us important fat-soluble vitamins including A & E.
-
Beef is a nutrient dense food and one of our best sources of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron, zinc and vitamin B12 - organic grass-fed beef is leaner and higher in protein and will give a more distinctive taste. Organic grass-fed beef truly tastes how beef should - full of ‘meaty’ flavour as a result of a natural diet, free of chemicals and hormones and a slow growth to full maturity.
-
Organic grass fed beef is a whole, real food. It usually contains less total fat than conventional beef because these cows are outside more and therefore more active, over the course of a year (this also means fewer calories). Farming cattle in harmony with nature on natural pastures of grasses and herbs has been shown to increase and/ or improve some of these nutrients further. Grass fed beef also contains up to five times more omega-3 than conventional beef. This makes it a valuable source of food to improve our Omega 3 intake which currently we get from fish in our diet, but not enough. The right balance of Omega 6:3 protects our heart health, reduces inflammation within our body, benefits our immune system and probably protects our mental function, too.
