Healthy Beef Stroganoff

Healthy Beef Stroganoff

SM
Meat

This is an adaptation of a childhood favourite my dad used to make. Continuing the tradition, I have adapted the recipe with this healthier alternative. Packed with mushrooms it provides a hit of Vitamin D, great for bone health.

Serves 4

Ready in 30mins

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

  • 400g lean rump steak cut into thin strips

  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges

  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 400g Mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 tsp Paprika

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste, salt reduced

  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 2 cups beef stock, salt reduced

  • 50g natural greek yoghurt

I like to vary the type of mushrooms used in this recipe. You could use a combination of button, swiss or portobello. Use a good quality stock and be sure to choose a salt reduced version. Instead of the traditional pasta or potatoes, serve stroganoff with a side of steamed greens, like broccolini, baby spinach and green beans.

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1

Heat half of oil in frying pan or wok over high heat. Once heated, add beef until surface is just browned, 1 -2 min. Transfer to bowl. Be careful, over cooking here will result in tough meat.

Step 2

Reduce pan heat and add remaining oil. Add onion and cook until translucent. Add crushed garlic, mushrooms, paprika and tomato paste. Cook for 2 min.

Step 3

Add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and stock. Cook for 8 min to reduce.

Step 4

Return beef and juices to pan and season with pepper. Cook briefly untill beef becomes cooked through.

Step 5

Stir through yoghurt before serving with steamed green vegetables.
