BEEF STROGANOFF
Beef stroganoff used to be a real staple in my kitchen years ago, but I had forgotten all about it. I had some sour cream left over from another recipe recently, so decided to have a go at a lean version of it (I used to use a whole tub of sour cream!). I used to mainly flavour it with paprika, but in this version I tried a couple of slightly different additions, and I think it’s the nicest one I’ve ever made!
Just a little tip for adding in the sour cream at the end, if you gently warm it through before adding it, it prevents it from separating and making a grainy sauce. I have a little tiny saucepan which is perfect for this, or alternatively you could carefully warm it in the microwave.

Ingredients
- Low calorie cooking spray or spray oil
- 500 g thin frying steak (sliced into strips)
- 1 onion (sliced into half moons)
- 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
- 200 g button mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 2 tsp tomato puree

- Add the tomato puree and the cornflour and stir through the other ingredients, then add half the beef stock.
- Stir everything well to combine, then add the mustard, garlic powder, paprika & worcestershire sauce, stirring them through the sauce.
- Add in the mushrooms, pour in the remaining stock and season with salt and pepper. Allow to simmer gently, uncovered for 25 minutes.
- At the end of the cooking time, gently warm your sour cream, either in a small pan, or in the microwave, and then add it to the beef mixture (this will prevent it from separating)
- Serve with chopped, fresh parsley sprinkled over the top.
Notes
It’s always important to me how my food looks when I serve it- a sprinkle of paprika, a bit of black pepper and some fresh parsley complement this perfectly!

Can’t get low fat sour cream anywhere in the UK ..can I replace it with low fat yoghurt and lemon juice?
Hi could you do this in a slow cooker xx
I buy reduced fat sour cream in tesco, I have also bought it in Sainsburys and Asda. You could use half-fat creme fraiche instead, but I think that in this case, yoghurt would not taste right.
This just tastes delicious, and like a real treat. Thank-you for the wonderful recipe!
