Time 1h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 pounds beef chuck roast
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
½ pound white mushrooms, sliced
4 green onions, sliced (white and green parts)
2 tablespoons butter, divided
⅓ cup white wine
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¼ cups reduced-sodium beef stock, divided
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
⅓ cup light sour cream
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Remove any fat and gristle from the roast and cut into strips 1/2-inch thick by 2-inches long. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and green onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, about 6 minutes. Remove to a bowl and add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Cook and stir one half the beef strips until browned, about 5 minutes, then remove to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining butter and beef strips. Pour wine into the hot skillet and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
Combine flour and 1/4 cup beef broth in a jar with a tightly fitting lid and shake until combined. Stir into the skillet, whisking until smooth. Stir in the remaining broth and mustard, then return the beef to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour.
Stir in the prepared mushrooms and the sour cream five minutes before serving. Heat briefly and season with salt and pepper.

If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt or crème fraîche.
For a gluten-free version, use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
To make the dish more hearty, add some cooked egg noodles or rice.
For a creamier sauce, stir in some grated Parmesan cheese or crumbled blue cheese.
Garnish the dish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.

Conclusion:

Light beef stroganoff is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. The sauce is rich and flavorful, and the beef is tender and juicy. Serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
