What is Beef Stroganoff?

Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish that has gained popularity around the world for its rich and creamy flavors. Traditionally, it is made with tender strips of beef, sautéed onions, mushrooms, and a sour cream sauce, served over egg noodles or rice. While this dish is undeniably delicious, it can be quite heavy due to the high-fat content. However, by making a few simple swaps and modifications, we can create a lighter and healthier version without sacrificing any of the taste.

Healthier alternatives to traditional Beef Stroganoff

To make our Weight Watchers Beef Stroganoff recipe healthier, we’ll be using lean beef, low-fat sour cream, and plenty of fresh vegetables. By opting for lean beef, you can reduce the saturated fat content while still enjoying the protein benefits. Low-fat sour cream gives the sauce its signature creaminess without adding unnecessary calories. And by adding a variety of vegetables such as onions, mushrooms, and peppers, we can boost the nutritional value and add a delicious crunch to the dish.

Tips for making the most out of your Weight Watchers Beef Stroganoff

• Make sure to thinly slice the beef to ensure quick and even cooking.
• Feel free to add additional vegetables such as peas or carrots for extra flavor and nutrients AND to add zero point value to it!
• For a vegetarian version, you can substitute the beef with tofu or seitan.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

What is the best type of meat to use?

There are a lot of options for a good beef stroganoff. The key is using beef that is tender and won’t get tough in the process of cooking it. Our favorite choice is beef tenderloin.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Cup Canned Beef Broth low-sodium
• 2 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
• 1 tsp Dry Mustard
• 1 Pound Uncooked Trimmed Beef Tenderloin trimmed of all visible fat and cut into 2 ½ -inch strips
• ½ tsp Table Salt
• ¼ tsp Black Pepper freshly ground
• 1 small Onion thinly sliced
• 10 Ounces Mushrooms cremini, white, or baby portobello, halved or quartered
• ¼ Cup Water
• 2 Tbsp Fresh Parsley chopped
• 10 Cups Al Dente Carba-Nada Egg Fettuccine Noodles

Instructions

 

• With a whisk, stir the broth, flour, and mustard in a large nonstick skillet until blended and smooth. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a small bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean.
• Pat the beef dry with a paper towel; sprinkle with the salt and 1⁄8 teaspoon of the pepper. Heat 1 teaspoon of the oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of the beef and cook, turning once, until browned but still pink on the inside, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate; keep warm. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and the remaining half of the beef.
• Add the onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until translucent, 3–5 minutes. Add the mushrooms, water, and the remaining 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, 3–4 minutes. Add any accumulated meat juices to the sauce mixture in the small bowl. Return the beef to the skillet with the onions and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just heated through, about 1 minute. Transfer the meat mixture to a platter; keep warm.
• Re-whisk the sauce mixture and pour it into the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Pour the sauce over the meat, then sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with the egg noodles.
• Serving size: 2⁄3 cup stew and 2⁄3 cup noodles.
