Paprika Beef Stroganoff



I happened upon this recipe on a night when I didn't have a meal planned. I had beef, onions, peppers, mushrooms, sour cream, Worcestershire and the spices needed when I started thumbing through old issues of Light and Tasty. This was a perfect fit for what I already had on hand and it turned out to be a tasty, low-fat meal.

The recipe calls for 2 lbs of boneless beef top round steak. I used this can of beef. Check out the beef canning process here. The canned beef just saved me a step and provided a more tender alternative.


Saute the onions and peppers until tender.


Now add the mushrooms and cooked beef. Cook another 3-4 minutes.



The sauce ingredients: beef broth, tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, paprika, bay leaf, dried thyme, and pepper. In my opinion, the thyme didn't do this recipe any favors. I'd leave it out next time.


Mix the sauce ingredients together.


Add the sauce to the beef and veggie mixture. The recipe instructs to bring to a boil and then cover and simmer until the beef is tender. Since my canned beef is already tender, I brought the mixture to a boil and then simmered until the egg noodles that I served with the mixture were cooked.


Now mix flour with 1/4 cup of beef broth. Add to the Stroganoff. Return the mixture to a boil and then cook and stir for about 2 minutes, until thickened.


It wouldn't be Stroganoff without sour cream. Add 1 cup of reduced fat or fat free sour cream. Remove from heat and stir until the sour cream is incorporated into the Stroganoff mixture.


Serve this savory Stroganoff over egg noodles.
