Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 pounds (1.8 kg) boneless chuck roast
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 8 ounces (226 grams) crimini mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 2 cups (475 ml) beef broth
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) sour cream
- 16 ounces (454 grams) egg noodles, cooked a minute shy of done
Instructions
- Create a flavorful foundation by searing the chuck roast in a hot dutch oven, developing rich caramelized edges and deep meat flavors.
- Generously coat the meat with salt and pepper, ensuring complete seasoning coverage.
- Allow the meat to sizzle and brown thoroughly, rotating to achieve an even golden crust on all surfaces, approximately 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the beautifully seared roast into the slow cooker, layering with aromatic onions, earthy mushrooms, and pungent garlic.
- Prepare a complex braising liquid by whisking together robust beef broth, tangy Dijon mustard, savory Worcestershire sauce, fragrant thyme, and warm paprika.
- Pour the seasoned liquid over the meat and vegetables, ensuring complete coverage.
- Select slow cooking method: either low temperature for 8 hours or high temperature for 4 hours, allowing the meat to become fork-tender and infused with deep flavors.
- Once cooking completes, carefully extract the roast and gently shred using two forks, creating tender, succulent meat strands.
- Cook egg noodles slightly under package instructions to maintain ideal texture.
- Fold creamy sour cream into the cooking liquid, creating a luxurious sauce.
- Incorporate the noodles, coating them thoroughly with the rich sauce.
- Return shredded meat to the slow cooker, allowing everything to meld together for an additional 15 minutes on high heat.
- Serve immediately, enjoying the harmonious blend of tender meat, creamy sauce, and perfectly cooked noodles.
Notes
- Choose a well-marbled chuck roast for maximum tenderness and rich flavor during slow cooking.
- Brown the meat thoroughly before adding to the slow cooker to develop deep, caramelized flavor profiles that enhance the overall dish.
- Keep noodles slightly undercooked when first adding them to prevent mushiness during the final 15-minute heating phase.
- Swap traditional egg noodles with gluten-free alternatives or zucchini noodles for low-carb dietary modifications without compromising taste.
