Rainy day, and ready for some fall comfort food - but not ready for the 'comfort food' pounds... so I decided I would start experimenting with my family favorite comfort foods and making them healthy or at least healthier! First on our list, clean Beef Stroganoff - simple modifications made this just as tasty and a lot fewer calories!
What you need:
- 1.5 pounds of beef tips (I cut off any additional fat)
- 1/4-1/3 cup whole wheat flour
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Large yellow onion, cubed
- 8oz sliced mushrooms
- 2/3 cups of water
- 1 cup plain greek yogurt
- salt/pepper
- egg noodles (ccoked as per package instructions)
What you need to do:
- In a large skillet, heat up EVOO (just enough to coat the pan)
- Toss beef tips in whole wheat flour until evenly coated. (discard extra flour)
- Add beef tips to skillet.
- Evenly brown.
- Place browned beef tips in a large pot.
- In the same skillet, re-oil and heat.
- Cook and lightly brown onion and mushroom.
- Add onions and mushrooms to large pot with the beef.
- Add water, salt and pepper.
- Cover and simmer on LO for 2 hours.
- Before serving, add greek yogurt.
- Serve over egg noodles
- Enjoy!
