Жаркое, aka ‘Stewed Beef and Potatoes’ – a delicious Eastern European comfort food that I ate so often growing up! Every time I make this in my kitchen, it brings back warm and delicious memories of my parents making this at home. Even though my mom usually made lunch and dinner in our house, my dad was the one who always made this dish. I love to enjoy this dish with a side of Russian pickles, marinated tomatoes and sour cream.
This stewed beef potatoes recipe is prepared with the most delicious, most aromatic tomato sauce and seasoned with fresh dill. I use a cheap cut of meat like chuck roast, which works very well for this dish. Once the beef is braised, it’s super soft and just falls apart when you bite into it. This beef and potato dish is simply the best! You’ll definitely be coming back for seconds!

Made this for dinner tonight. I’m a foster parent so I have a mixed crowd – my own two Russian sons under 6 years old and two American teenage girls from two completely different backgrounds. This recipe was a HUGE HIT, the girl with the eating disorder even had seconds! Thanks for the amazing and easy recipe!
Oh, how wonderful! 🙂 I’m so glad everyone enjoyed!! 🙂
Can i double the recipe if i need to cook for 8?
Thank you
Absolutely! Hope you enjoy this dish! 🙂
Very good. Made it tonight, i will definitely make again. I added frozen peas at end to add a little more green.
So glad you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂
Hi Tania,
Do you have to take the meat out before you add the potatoes if the pot is big enough to accommodate all of it?
No, if there is space for both, feel free to leave the meat in 🙂
I made this tonight and the whole family loved it…. even my picky grandmother! It was absolutely delicious! I followed your recipe exactly and really wouldn’t change a thing. I did use Yukon Gold potatoes. You didn’t specify potato type (I don’t think), but I think they were perfect for this recipe. Thanks a bunch!
Oh, that’s so wonderful! I’m so glad it was a hit with everyone! This really is a delicious dish! 🙂
