1 1/2 lbs | Beef sirloin steaks |
2 1/2 cups | Mushrooms |
2 | Onions |
1 | Garlic clove |
2 tbsp | Margarine |

Instructions:
-
Prepare Beef:
- Begin by cutting the beef into thin, bite-sized strips. It’s easier to do this if the beef is slightly frozen.
-
Cook Aromatics:
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt a tablespoon of margarine.
- Add in the sliced mushrooms, chopped onions, and minced garlic. Cook until the onions are tender and translucent. Then, remove this aromatic mixture from the skillet and set it aside.
-
Brown Beef:
- Using the same skillet, add another tablespoon of margarine and brown the strips of beef until they develop a rich color and are cooked through.
-
Simmer Beef:
- Stir in 1 cup of beef broth, salt, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet with the beef.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Prepare Noodles:
- While the beef is simmering, cook the noodles according to the package instructions, if they’re not already cooked.
-
Thicken Sauce:
- After 15 minutes, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of beef broth with the all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Stir this flour-broth mixture into the beef, ensuring to minimize lumps.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Add back the reserved onion, mushroom, and garlic mixture into the skillet with the beef.
- Stir well and heat the mixture to boiling.
-
Final Touch:
- Allow the stroganoff to boil and thicken for about a minute.
- Finally, stir in the nonfat sour cream until everything is well combined and heated through.
-
Serve:
- Serve the beef stroganoff over the cooked noodles, garnishing with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley if desired.
This lighter beef stroganoff is a crowd-pleaser, offering all the comforting flavors you love with a healthier twist. Enjoy every savory bite! ๐ฝ๏ธ
