This Healthy Beef Stroganoff is a lighter take on a classic comfort dish — tender strips of beef in a rich, creamy sauce with mushrooms, paprika and a hint of tang. Great with rump, eye fillet tails, or any lean beef.
Ingredients
500g Lean Beef, Cut Into Strips
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp smoked paprika
250g brown mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 ½ tbsp Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup salt reduced beef stock
1 ½ tbsp tomato paste
150g light sour cream or Greek yoghurt
60g baby spinach, chopped
Parsley leaves, chopped, cooked pasta of choice, steamed green beans, broccolini, and lemon wedges, to serve
Directions
Place beef strips, half the oil and paprika in a snap lock bag. Season. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook beef, in batches, for 1-2 minutes, turning as required. Set aside on a plate loosely covered with foil.
Add remaining oil to pan, add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Add Worcestershire, stock and tomato paste, stir well and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in sour cream or yoghurt and simmer for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Return beef and any juices to pan and heat through for a further for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir through baby spinach.
Serve beef stroganoff with pasta, steamed beans and broccolini. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
