How thinly sliced does the brisket need to be? Deli thin? Quarter inch?
This looks really good!
Hi Jennifer, a quarter inch should be perfect. Thanks for your kind words also : )
This was quite tasty. The addition of tomato paste and red wine vinegar gave it a great zing. Reminded me of a Spanish dish I had once.
Is a Different flavor profile than traditional Russian stroganoff that feature beef and mushroom flavors.
I would make this again though. The zing was bright and balanced the oil and butter nicely.
I used leftover rare cooked flank steak. I cooked down the broth before adding steak at the end so didn’t overcook meat. Added a couple minutes before taking of heat and adding sour cream. A good and easy recipe.
Hey Molly, thank you so much for your review we really appreciate it. It’s nice to get good feedback and some handy adaptations as well.
Excellent!
Thanks, Kelli.
Best strog I’ve ever tasted
Thank you for your kind words, Emma!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Yum! Used beef tips and it came out great!
Yummmm I followed steps 1-3 and than just chucked everything in the slow cooker for 4 hours on high as I used really chunky diced beef. Turned out awesome I ate it with cauliflower mash and hubby had it with potato mash. He loved it even though he’s told me for the past 10 years he doesn’t like mushroom haha! Thanks, great recipe.
Loved it think I’m going to try with chicken instead of beef next keep you posted x
Wow!
Worth the time to make this!
I had some beef tips and used that instead. I am so impressed with the flavor.
I did cut the cooking time down as my reduced quicker.
I added some cream and served over zeronoodles and I am in heaven.
Will 100% make again
Thank you!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it Molly! Thank you for your kind words 🙂
Forgot to add I served this to hubby with noodles and he never knew it was low carb. Mine was served with cauliflower rice. This stroganoff was so flavorful that I didn’t taste the cauliflower so didn’t feel like I was eating just another cauliflower dish. Yum!
This is such a great recipe! I didn’t have a brisket so used thinly sliced round steak and reduced the cooking time. I also added a large beef bouillon cube to the stock since I was concerned that reducing cooking time wouldn’t allow for fully developed beef taste. It turned out beautifully and was one of the best stroganoffs I’ve ever eaten! I can only imagine how it would taste with the brisket; will be trying that next. What a great comfort food. Thanks so much for posting!
Thank you for your kind words, Judy! I’m so glad that you enjoyed it.

Thanks for your kind words Celine
