Best Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff (Vegan and Vegetarian options)
by Fungified Farm
Perfect for everyone this easy whole food meal is sure to please.
Use some premium quality mushrooms to ensure that you have a rich meaty flavor if you are making this vegan or vegetarian. Honestly I recommend using my excellent mushrooms even if you are adding meat. it I used oyster mushrooms with this recipe, but it would be phenomenal with mixed exotic mushrooms. I make it with Maitake for the vegan option as it really makes for a delicious and rich sauce. It is easy to use vegan sour cream or even vegan yogurt that is even easier to find. A low sodium vegetable broth would be the best substitute for beef broth.
Best Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff (Vegan and Vegetarian options)
A quick and easy stroganoff the is creamy and rich with melt in your mouth beef and mushrooms.
Ingredients
1lb. or ½ lb. oyster mushrooms (more for the vegan option or if you
like mushrooms)
1lb Steak or beef
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion diced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
2 cups beef or vegetable broth (low salt preferred)
3/4 cup sour cream (vegan sour cream)
Salt and pepper
10 oz egg noodles, 2 cups rice or mashed potatoes
Directions
Cut the beef into thin strips ¼ inch thick and about 1 ½ inches long. If the meat is a little tough try velveting it. Directions here. Season with salt and pepper.
Dice mushrooms into bite sized pieces and dice the onions.
Heat a large skillet at medium high heat with no oil added. Once hot
add the mushrooms. Cook the mushrooms until browned and crispy on the edges.
Add in 1 tbsp oil and mix it in with the mushrooms and add in the onions. Cook,
stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent. Remove mushrooms and
onions to a bowl.
Increase heat to high and add 1 tbsp oil to the pan. Carefully add in
half the beef evenly spaced. Let cook for 30 seconds on each side. Do not stir
fry or cook longer even if there are pink bits.
Remove beef to a bowl. Add in the rest of the oil and heat it before
adding in the rest of the beef. Cook as above. Remove beef. (Omit this step if
making vegetarian/vegan stroganoff)
Reduce the temperature to medium high. Add in the butter and heat
until it melts. Then, add in the flour and whisk until browned. As soon as it
browns, add in the broth slowly whisking the whole time. Add the mushroom and onion back into the pan.
Stir to combine. Reduce heat and simmer for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thinks
slightly. Add in salt and pepper to taste.
Add in beef and simmer for one minute.
Remove from heat and add in sour cream and stir to combine. Serve over
egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.
