Ingredients for Beef Stroganoff Low Calorie

  • Round Steak
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Garlic Clove
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms
  • Dry Red Wine
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Condensed Beef Broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

How to Make Beef Stroganoff Low Calorie

  1. Trim excess fat from 1 lb beef sirloin steak.
  2. Cut the steak against the grain into 2-inch strips, then slice diagonally across the grain into 1/4-inch slices.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of margarine in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened (about 5 minutes).
  5. Stir in the beef slices and 8 oz sliced mushrooms.
  6. Cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is no longer pink.
  7. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional, can substitute with beef broth).
  8. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth until smooth.
  10. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the beef mixture.
  11. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
  12. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  13. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
  14. Serve immediately over 8 oz cooked noodles. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
