Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then brown in a skillet with oil for 3-4 minutes per side until golden.
  2. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic in the same skillet for 3-5 minutes, then sprinkle flour and stir in Dijon mustard.
  3. Gradually pour in beef stock while whisking to combine, scraping the skillet for any browned bits, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker, pour over the simmered stock mixture, and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 5 hours.
  5. Melt butter in a skillet, add sliced mushrooms, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Whisk sour cream with some stew liquid, then stir back into the stew along with sautéed mushrooms, and heat for another 5-10 minutes.
