Leftover prime rib (and leftover beef roast) makes a creamy, rich meal during the holidays. This beef Stroganoff from leftovers is easy to make, delicious, and ready in 30 minutes. It is the perfect easy stroganoff meal.
Beef stroganoff is said to originate from the Stroganov family in Russia. It was adapted by French chefs to the current version that we know so well.
In our house, beef stroganoff is made one way and one way only, with leftover prime rib. We love cooking up a boneless prime rib during the holidays and after throwing down a hefty amount of money on this delicious cut of beef, you better believe we are making sure to get a second meal from it. We even make this meal with leftover steak.
This leftover prime rib stroganoff is that meal and it is delicious. My family loves eating leftovers when I make this and I think you will too.

More Ways To Use Leftover Prime Rib
While this leftover prime rib stroganoff is my favorite way to make use of leftover prime rib, here are some more tasty ideas for you:
- Make Philly Cheesesteaks. Just use your prime rib in place of steak to make this delicious sandwich.
