Beef Stroganoff

I only had beef stroganoff a couple of times before going gluten free, but the few times I did, it was absolutely delicious. After doing some research, Jeremy and I adapted a recipe from Betty Crocker, and it turned out pretty well. We will definitely be making it again!

Ingredients
1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin steak
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (2 1/2 cups)
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. minced garlic (1 clove)
1/4 c. margarine*
1 1/2 cups beef flavored broth*
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce*
1/4 c. gluten free flour blend
1/8 tsp. xanthan gum
2 recipes of dairy free sour cream
1 lb. pasta, cooked

Directions
Cut beef into 1/2 inch cubes. Thinly slice onions lengthwise, and then in half, and slice mushrooms with button down (to make slices as shown in the picture).

Melt margarine in large skillet. Add mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook until onions are tender, then remove from skillet and set aside.

Cook beef in same skillet until brown. Stir in 1 cup of the broth, salt, and Worcestershire sauce. Heat to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for 15 minutes.

In a small separate bowl, mix together remaining 1/2 cup of broth, flour, and xanthan gum. Once well mixed add to beef mixture in skilled. Add onion mixture; heat until boiling, stir constantly. Boil and stir for 1 minute.

Stir in 1 cup of sour cream. Add remaining half cup as needed, to desired creaminess and flavor. Heat until hot, but do not boil.

Serve over noodles.

ENJOY!

*NOTE: Be sure to check to make sure your margarine is dairy free. The only one that we have found is Blue Bonnet Light.

Beef broth also tends to have caramel color, and less frequently, wheat. So be sure to check the ingredients. We have found that Swanson's tends to be a safe brand.

For Worcestershire sauce, Lea & Perrin's is the only safe brand that we have found to date. It is a top quality brand, so it does tend to cost a little more, but it lasts forever. We have it in our store if you cannot find it at your local supermarket. It is also very tasty in meatloaf.
