Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
- 2 butter
- 1 margarine
- 1 1/2 fresh mushrooms
- 1 sour cream
- 1 green onion
- 2 dried thyme
- 1 dried marjoram
- 1/2 rice
Method
In a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat. Brown steak; remove with a slotted spoon and keep warm.
Add mushrooms; saute until tender.
Return steak to pan.
Add soup, sour cream, onions, thyme and marjoram; heat gently (do not boil).
Serve over noodles or rice.
Cook's notes
- For the best flavor, use a mix of butter and margarine when browning the steak to achieve a deep golden crust.
- Slice fresh mushrooms evenly so they sauté uniformly and release their savory juices.
- To keep the sour cream sauce silky, heat gently and never let it boil, which can cause curdling.
- If you prefer an even lower-carb option, swap rice for cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.
Frequently asked
Can I use a different cut of beef for this stroganoff?
Yes, sirloin, ribeye, or even thinly sliced chuck steak work well. Just be sure to slice against the grain for tenderness.
What can I substitute for sour cream?
Greek yogurt or crème fraîche are excellent substitutes, though they may alter the tanginess slightly. For a dairy-free version, try full-fat coconut cream.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
The stroganoff itself is naturally gluten-free, but be sure to serve it over gluten-free rice or noodles and check your soup and seasoning labels for any hidden gluten.
Can I add vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely! Sautéed onions, bell peppers, or spinach make great additions. Add them along with the mushrooms for extra nutrition and flavor.
