Quick Healthy Beef Stroganoff

Quick healthy beef stroganoff is an easy cheats version of the classic hearty meal made to suit the whole family. This delicious creamy tasting recipe will fully satisfy those hungry mouths!

This quick healthy beef stroganoff has a beautiful creamy sauce with hints of paprika and mustard.

My secret ingredient to being able to make it quickly and more healthily into a light beef stroganoff is simply a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup.

Indeed, that one can of soup provides not just the creaminess but also a ton of flavour too.

When combined with the tender stir fried strips of beef it makes what I can only describe as a tasty marriage made in heaven!

But what exactly is beef stroganoff?

It's a traditional recipe. A Russian dish of sauteed pieces of beef served in a homemade stroganoff sauce.

I remember it well from the time that I worked in a kitchen as a kitchen porter when I was a student.

It was an extremely popular dish ordered frequently from the menu of the restaurant.

We made the classic recipe so there was no scrimping or lower calorie ingredients used then!

Today I thought I'd dig out that recipe from my memory banks and make it as a simpler and healthier beef stroganoff recipe that we can all make at home.

So this is a easy beef stroganoff recipe. But it's also a low fat beef stroganoff recipe.

You see in the restaurant the classic beef stroganoff recipe was quite heavy on the cream.

Now folks, you know that I'm not against cream in any way, as I explained in depth in the strawberry chia overnight oats recipe.

I just believe it has more place and prefer to use it within my pudding recipes!

Therefore rather than cream here this recipe is a healthy beef stroganoff recipe with mushroom soup.

Although there's no actual cream this family favorite recipe tastes amazing and of course is a much quicker easy recipe to make too.

In my recipe I used sirloin steaks cut into thin strips, but any tender beef cut should work.

You may have to adjust your cooking time to suit though depending on the type of meat you use.

You could even make this an even heathier low carb dish by trying it on top of courgette (zucchini) noodles instead of rice!

Whatever you choose I'm sure you'll soon be adding this healthy beef stroganoff to your favourite easy dinner recipe list!

Pair it with a nice glass of red wine or even white wine and you've got the ultimate comfort food!

Tips For This Best Beef Stroganoff Recipe

• Use a good quality lean sirlion steak. Cut the strips nice and thin which will ensure the meat cooks quickly and the flavour is released into the recipe as soon as possible.
• What to serve with beef stroganoff? Traditional beef stroganoff recipes are served with egg noodles. Serve it that way if you want but I like to serve it with some wholegrain basmati rice which can be cooked during the making and cooking of the stroganoff itself.
• What vegetables to serve with beef stroganoff? Wondering what vegetables to serve with your beef stroganoff? It goes well with some simple green ones, like steamed broccoli or peas.
• Can you freeze beef stroganoff? Yes. Beef stroganoff is easy to freeze. Allow it to cool first before transferring it to a freezer proof airtight container.

Notes

Traditionally Stroganoff is served with egg noodles. Here I've served it with wholegrain Basmati rice, but of course you could serve it the traditional way.

I put my rice on to cook at the start of the recipe as it’s wholegrain and takes slightly longer than white rice.
