Easy Pot Roast Stroganoff.

Slow-cooked beef Pot Roast Stroganoff braised in broth and wine with onions, mushrooms, and fresh thyme. The meat becomes fall-apart tender, then gets mixed with creamy yogurt to create a rich, classic slow-cooked beef stroganoff. If there’s one cozy fall and winter meal you need to make, it’s this one! Serve it over bowls of buttered egg noodles and top with plenty of fresh parsley. This one-pot, family-style dinner is warming, easy, and so delicious — the kind of comforting classic that’s perfect for weeknights, slow Sundays, or easy entertaining.

My mom has been asking me for a good beef stroganoff for years. A while back I made a mushroom-only version, but honestly, it’s just not the same as the classic.

Today’s recipe is that true, old-fashioned beef stroganoff — the kind your grandma might have made for Sunday dinner in the fall or winter. I wanted it to taste nostalgic, comforting, and homey in every bite.

When my mom made her stroganoff while we were growing up, she always served it over hot buttered noodles. I’m pretty sure she used canned soup too (which I skipped!), but the noodles were non-negotiable — buttered and homemade.

I served this a few times before everyone headed out of town — one of those nights was a Sunday, which felt just right. I added some warm bread on the side, and everyone was so happy.

My littlest brother, Oslo, especially loved this one. And of course, my oldest brother kept saying “stroganoff” on repeat all night. The only thing I’d add is a simple green salad — these all-meat dinners always need a little something fresh on the side!

All this recipe requires is your favorite oven-safe Dutch oven or crockpot. Either cooking option is great!

The Steps

Step 1: The Beef

Use a good cut of beef chuck roast, then cut it in half or into large chunks so it cooks evenly. Arrange the meat in your crockpot or Dutch oven.

While I love using the crockpot, I decided to slow-braise the roast this time around — but I’ve made this recipe both ways, and it turns out delicious no matter which method you choose. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper, then rub all over with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and a light coating of flour.

Step 2: Add the Remaining Ingredients

Now everything else goes into the pot — no pre-cooking or searing needed, just simple layering.

Add the onions, mushrooms, and fresh thyme. Pour over the broth, then add the wine and Worcestershire sauce. Mix in the mustard and give everything a gentle toss.

Cook the beef low and slow, either in the oven or in your crockpot, until it’s fall-apart tender and the flavors have come together beautifully.

Step 3: Finish the Stroganoff

Just before serving, stir in the yogurt. Traditionally, stroganoff is finished with sour cream or heavy cream, but I love using Greek yogurt — it’s creamy, tangy, and every bit as delicious.

Be sure to use a full-fat yogurt (or sour cream, if you prefer) to keep the sauce rich and silky. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Serving the Stroganoff

Meanwhile, boil the egg noodles. Once drained, toss them with plenty of salted butter — just like my mom always did — until they’re glossy and perfectly coated.

She’s always said that real salted butter is the secret to life, and honestly… she’s right!

Spoon the stroganoff over the buttery noodles and enjoy. It’s cozy, hearty, and the most comforting family dinner — hands-off, simple, and so perfect for fall and winter nights.
