Beef Stroganoff

This is a delicious recipe and when I first made it, I was really surprised that my kids LOVED it!!  They picked out the mushrooms, but they loved the sauce over noodles!  I used ground beef instead of strips, and made a few other changes.  I am making it tonight for dinner actually - I already chopped the onions and mushrooms to make it go faster tonight.  It's a super quick fix and it's delish!!

Enjoy!

BEEF STROGANOFF

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, coarsely chopped
1 pound boneless lean beef, sliced into 1-inch strips
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup dry white wine
3/4 pound fresh white mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, or 1/2 teaspoon dried
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsely
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 - 3/4 cup sour cream
1 (10-ounce) package wide gluten free pasta

1)  Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and saute the onion until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

2)  Add the beef and season with salt and pepper.  Saute until evenly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

3)  Add the wine, mushrooms, thyme, 2 tablespoons of the parsely and nutmeg.  Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4)  Add the sour cream and stir to blend.

5)  Simmer the stroganoff, uncovered, for about 5 minutes, stirring the mixture often and taking care not to boil the sauce.

6)  Cook the pasta according to the package directions.  Drain, rinse under warm running water, and drain again.

7)  Divide the pasta evenly among 4 individual plates and spoon the stroganoff mixture on top.  Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of chopped parsely.

NOTES:

~I used ground beef in place of the beef strips - to make it more "kid-friendly".

~I omitted the parsely, again, to make it more "kid-friendly".

~To make it dairy-free, use a dairy-free sour cream, such as Tofutti Sour Cream - they carry it in the refrigerated area in the produce section at Woodman's. (I tried this tonight for the first time - it doesn't taste very good on it's own, but in the stroganoff, you'd never know it wasn't regular sour cream!

~Schar gluten free pasta is by far the best GF pasta I have found.  Use whatever noodle you like, I think I used the Fusili last time.
