Description

Turn leftover roast beef into a creamy, comforting dinner with this easy 30-minute stroganoff. Packed with mushrooms, garlic, and a luscious sauce—perfect over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 700g leftover roast beef (about 1.5 lbs), sliced
  • 200g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree (tomato paste)
  • 300ml beef stock (about 1¼ cups)
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs
  • 200ml crème fraîche (or sour cream)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt & pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook 4–5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add mushrooms and sauté 2–3 minutes until golden.
  3. Stir in tomato puree, beef stock, smoked paprika, mustard, and herbs. Simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
  4. Add crème fraîche and leftover beef. Simmer another 5 minutes until heated through. Season to taste.
  5. Garnish with parsley and serve with noodles, rice, or potatoes.

Notes

For a lighter version, use half-fat crème fraîche or Greek yogurt. Swap beef for mushrooms to make vegetarian. Add red wine or leftover gravy for richness. Store leftovers up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze up to 3 months.
