How To Make Crock Pot Gluten Free Beef Stroganoff
- Sauté onions and mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes. Stir in mushrooms and garlic, sprinkle with salt, and cook until the mushrooms start to release moisture.
- Make the sauce base: Add gluten-free flour and stir until dissolved. Pour in coconut milk, beef broth, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and dijon mustard. Bring to a full boil.
- Transfer to crock pot: Pour the sauce mixture into your slow cooker.
- Sear the beef: Wipe the skillet clean, add the remaining oil, and heat over high. Sear beef stew meat for 2–3 minutes on two sides. Transfer to the crock pot.
- Slow cook: Stir everything together, cover, and cook on High for 3.5 hours or Low for 7.5 hours.
- Add pasta: Stir in gluten-free pasta noodles. Cover and cook on High for another 20–30 minutes, or until noodles are just tender.
- Serve: Spoon into bowls and top with chopped parsley if desired.

FAQs
Can I use regular pasta instead of gluten-free?
Yes, if you’re not gluten-sensitive, regular pasta works just fine.
Why is my stroganoff sauce too thin?
Let it cook uncovered for a bit or stir in a small slurry of gluten-free flour and water to thicken.
Can I use a different meat cut?
Yes, sirloin or chuck roast also works if cut into bite-sized pieces.
Is coconut milk necessary?
It adds creaminess and is dairy-free, but you can substitute with heavy cream if not avoiding dairy.
How to reheat leftovers?
Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
