Beef Stroganoff
Here's a heart-healthy variation on a classic dinner favorite. Try serving this beef stroganoff over noodles or rice alongside some vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef tenderloin or boneless sirloin steak, silver skin (for tenderloin) and all visible fat discarded
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
- 8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 cups fat-free, no-salt-added beef broth, heated
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
- 1/8 teaspoon dried dillweed, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fat-free or light sour cream
Instructions
- Cut the meat into thin strips about 2 inches long. Sprinkle with pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Cook the beef for 1 minute.
- Stir in the mushrooms and onion. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the onion is soft, stirring occasionally.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the broth and flour. Pour into the skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened, stirring constantly.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients except the sour cream. Stir into the beef mixture. Cover and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the beef is tender.
- Transfer about 1/4 cup sauce to a small bowl. Whisk in the sour cream. Stir back into the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, or until warmed through.
