Pot Roast Beef Stroganoff

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Add the garlic, thyme and paprika, sprinkle on the flour and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Remove from heat, mix in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper.

Slow Cooker: Optionally skip steps 1-4 and just place everything in the slow cooker (except the sour cream) and cook as directed, for a quicker version.
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!
