Clean Beef Stroganoff

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:

1. In a large skillet, heat up EVOO (just enough to coat the pan)
2. Toss beef tips in whole wheat flour until evenly coated. (discard extra flour)
3. Add beef tips to skillet.
4. Evenly brown.
5. Place browned beef tips in a large pot.
6. In the same skillet, re-oil and heat.
7. Cook and lightly brown onion and mushroom.
8. Add onions and mushrooms to large pot with the beef. 
9. Add water, salt and pepper.
10. Cover and simmer on LO for 2 hours.
11. Before serving, add greek yogurt.
12. Serve over egg noodles
13. Enjoy!
