How To Make Crock Pot Gluten Free Beef Stroganoff

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Transfer to crock pot: Pour the sauce mixture into your slow cooker.
  4. 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.
  5. Slow cook: Stir everything together, cover, and cook on High for 3.5 hours or Low for 7.5 hours.
  6. Add pasta: Stir in gluten-free pasta noodles. Cover and cook on High for another 20–30 minutes, or until noodles are just tender.
  7. Serve: Spoon into bowls and top with chopped parsley if desired.

Recipe Tips

  • Can I use a different type of flour? Yes, tapioca or arrowroot flour works well for a grain-free version.
  • What if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce? Substitute it with more apple cider vinegar.
  • Best noodles for beef stroganoff? Spiral noodles, rigatoni, or even gluten-free egg noodles all work great.
  • How to prevent mushy pasta: Only add noodles toward the end and cook just until al dente.
  • Is it okay to make this ahead? Yes, it tastes even better the next day.

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.
