Beef Stroganoff, Gluten Free and for the Slow Cooker

Heather says:

Beef stroganoff is not an attractive comfort food, which is why it has taken me nearly five years to get around to posting this slow cooker recipe. It's not the beef stroganoff's fault it's unattractive and the recipe itself is quite simple; it's just a homely dish. People on the interwebz can be cruel and I just knew, no matter how hard I tried, this recipe would end up on the culinary equivalent of Awkward Family Photos. Today I swallow my pride and share the recipe, because the world can always use a little more comfort food. If you can have wheat, it's just a straight substitution of all purpose flour for the rice flour.

I served this recipe over oven roasted potatoes seasoned with thyme.

Trim off any excess fat from the round steak. If you're using cube steak, this should not be an issue. Cut the beef into strips, 1/2 inch wide and no more than 2 – 3 inches long, set aside.In a bowl mix together: 1/2 cup of rice flour, salt, dry mustard, and fresh ground pepper.Toss the beef strips with the flour mixture until thoroughly coated and place in the slow cooker.Add the remaining ingredients except the sour cream and reserved 1/4 cup of rice flour. Stir.Cook on low 6 – 8 hours or high for 4.Turn off the slow cooker and mix together the sour cream and rice flour. Stir into the beef stroganoff and give it a few minutes to thicken.Serve over potatoes or rice for gluten free folks and hot or hot buttered noodles for the wheat tolerant.

Rice flour is very inexpensive and can be found in many stores in the Asian / Ethnic food section or in any Asian grocery store, it can also be found in many health food stores.

*If you can have wheat, just use all-purpose flour in place of the rice flour.
