I am enjoying the cooler weather, especially being in the kitchen doing some long slow braised dishes like this pot roast beef stroganoff! In this dish the beef is slowly cooked until it’s so nice and tender that it literally melts in your mouth! In addition to making the beef meltingly delicious, this long cooking process also helps bring out a lot of amazing flavour! Speaking of flavour, the flavours of this dish are inspired by beef stroganoff, a dish consisting of beef, usually strips of steak cooked in a pan, along with a paprika, mushroom and sour cream sauce. This pot roast version starts out by browning some stewing beef (I like Ontario Corn Fed Beef), like chuck, brisket, etc., in a pan, making the sauce and then adding broth to simmer everything in. You can easily make this meal in one-pan and it’s great simmer on the stove top, in the oven or even in the slow cooker! You can serve the pot roast beef stroganoff over egg noodles, rice or just eat a nice large bowl of it all by itself!
Pot Roast Beef Stroganoff
A homestyle comfort food pot roast take on beef stroganoff using slowly braised, fall apart tender, beef which is smothered in a super tasty, umami packed mushroom, onion, paprika and sour cream sauce!
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 1/2 pounds Ontario Corn Fed stewing beef such as chuck, round, brisket, cut into 2 inch pieces
- salt, pepper and paprika to taste
- 1 onion, diced or sliced
- 8 ounces mushrooms, quartered or sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 teaspoons thyme, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dry thyme)
- 2 teaspoons paprika*
- 2 tablespoons flour (or rice flour for gluten-free)
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce (or soy sauce or tamari)
- 2 teaspoons dried dill (optional)*
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
directions
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat, add the beef (seasoned with salt, pepper and paprika) and cook until lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes per side, before setting aside.
- Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms have released their liquids, the liquids have cooked off and the mushroom start to caramelize and turn light golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
- Add the garlic, thyme and paprika, sprinkle on the flour and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
- Add the broth and deglaze the pan by scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the pan into the sauce with a wooden spoon.
- Add the beef, mustard, worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, and dill and either bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the beef is fall apart in your mouth tender, about 2-3 hours, OR transfer to a preheated 350F/180C oven and roast, covered, until the beef is tender, about 2-3 hours, OR transfer to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-10 hours or on high for 3-5 hours.
- Remove from heat, mix in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
Option: Start by cooking 4 strips bacon cut into 1 inch pieces and use the bacon grease to cook the steak and veggies in instead of oil and butter adding the bacon back into the sauce near the end!
Option: I like smoked hot paprika for this but your favourite type of paprika will work!
Option: I like dried dill in this but it is a none standard ingredient so feel free to omit it.
Option: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic for a bit of heat.
Option: Add small onions in addition to the diced onion for even more onion flavour!
Option: Instead of the fish sauce use 1-2 tablespoons white miso paste.
Option: Add 1 tablespoon tomato paste to the sauce.
Option: Add 1/2 cup grated parmigiano reggiano (parmesan cheese) for an even more flavourful sauce!

I love comfort dishes like this!
Looks like a winner for the whole family!
Kevin, perhaps I am missing something, but at what point do you put the beef back in? Is it Step 5 and before or after you bring the liquid to a boil?
I was looking for that as well…
It doesn’t seem cooking thick meat 1-2 minutes each side is sufficient….
The beef is returned to the pot in step 5 and simmered for 2-3 hour, after which it will be falling apart tender. Enjoy!
This would be SO great right now since it's SOOO cold!! 😀
Unknown: 🙂 You add the beef back just before the simmering in step 5.
When do you add the paprika?
Skeptic: Good catch! You add the paprika along with the garlic and thyme in step 3. Enjoy!
I did add it about at that time, and dish was excellent, well worth making again.
Thanks!
I can't wait to try it. I bought the beef today.
Looks yummy!
Fixed this today and it was ABSOLUTELY the best roast beef "twist" that I have ever tasted!
I actually have a 3 lb piece. Should I double the veg and broth or keep it the samem
are these fresh mushrooms or canned mushrooms?
Abby: I use fresh but you could use canned.
Very good recipe for our first cooler days here in
Florida. I like to deglaze with a bit of cognac before adding the broth.
Made this today! Amazing! I did the oven method and ended up having to add some more stock … also added some dried soaked porcinis … the sauce was amazing. I served it with garfava bean fettucine … Thanks for another star recipe!!
Still delicious after all these years! I add color and sweetness with carrots and baby potatoes and chunked red bell peppers. And, if you dare, go crazy and add crumbled bacon at serving. Why? Because everything tastes better with bacon!
