Lean Beef Stroganoff Recipes

Steps:

• Season beef generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until nearly smoking. Stir in beef; cook, stirring constantly, for 6-7 minutes, until liquid evaporates and meat browns. Remove meat from the pan and set aside.
• Stir butter, mushrooms and onions into the pan; cook and stir over medium heat until the vegetables are lightly browned. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in flour; cook for 1-2 minutes until incorporated.
• Stir in wine and 1 cup of stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
• Return beef to the pan. Stir in remaining cup of stock; bring to a simmer and cook on low heat for about 1 hour with the lid on, until the beef is tender and the sauce is thick. Stir every 20 minutes.
• Stir in creme fraiche. Stir in chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a bowl, leaving behind any drippings; reduce the heat to medium.
• To the same skillet, add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cooked mushrooms to the bowl with the beef. Add the oil, onion, carrot, garlic, and paprika to the skillet and continue to cook until the carrots are soft and the onion is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the tomato paste has toasted and is evenly coating the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, water, and the Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and stir in the pasta. Cover and cook according to package directions until the noodles are just al dente. Uncover, stir in the reserved beef and mushrooms until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and salt and pepper, to taste, until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Divide among 6 bowls. Serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook egg noodles in boiling water until done, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet, cook mushrooms and onions in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until soft; remove from pan.
• Using the same pan, melt remaining butter. Cook ground beef in melted butter until browned. Mix in flour. Stir in beef broth, and cook until slightly thickened. Add mushroom and onion mixture; stir in sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until sauce is hot, but not boiling. Serve sauce over egg noodles.

Steps:

• Place beef in freezer to make it easier to slice.
• Prepare egg noodles according to package directions; drain, butter, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, take beef out of freezer and cut steak lengthwise in half.
• Then, with knife held in slanting position almost parallel to the cutting surface, slice each half across width into 1/8-inch thick slices.
• Thickly slice the mushrooms and coarsely chop onion.
• In a 12-inch nonstick skillet over high heat, cook the meat, stirring quickly and constantly, until browned, about 2 minutes; remove to plate or bowl (it may be necessary to brown the beef in two batches).
• In same skillet over medium-high heat, in hot oil, cook mushrooms and onion until tender.
• In a cup, mix flour with ½ cup water; stir into mushroom mixture with beef broth, Worcestershire, salt and sugar.
• Over high heat, heat to boiling.
• Reduce heat to medium and cook until mixture thickens slightly.
• Return beef to skillet; heat through.
• Spoon noodles onto a large platter.
• Spoon beef mixture over noodles.
• Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
