Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves peeled and finely chopped
  • 200 g Chestnut Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato Puree
  • 300 ml Beef Stock

Instructions

    200 g Chestnut Mushrooms
  • Add the beef stock, tomato puree, smoked paprika, dijon mustard, and dried herbs. Stir well and simmer for 10 minutes on low heat.
    1 tablespoon Tomato Puree, 300 ml Beef Stock, 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard, 1 tablespoon Smoked Paprika, 1 teaspoon Dried Italian Herbs
  • Add the creme fraiche (or soured cream) and leftover roast beef (cut into strips). Stir well and simmer for 5 minutes before serving with chopped parsley.
    200 ml Creme Fraiche, 700 g Leftover Roast Beef, 2 tablespoon Parsley

Notes

Top Tips:
  • Use leftover roast beef that is already sliced or cut it into thin strips before adding it to the stroganoff.
  • If you don't have any leftover roast beef, slice 2 medium-sized steaks into strips and add them to the pan at the same time as the mushrooms.
  • If you have any vegetables left over from your Sunday roast, serve them alongside the stroganoff to stretch the meal out further!
 
Variations:
  • Use leftover roast pork or roast chicken instead of beef.
  • Make a healthy beef stroganoff by replacing the creme fraiche or sour cream with half-fat creme fraiche.
  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the sauce to give it a spicy kick.
  • For a vegetarian version of this dish, replace the beef with your favorite vegetables such as mushrooms, peppers, broccoli, and courgette (zucchini).
