Beef Stroganoff is gluten-free, naturally, however, you’ll need to prepare some gluten-free pasta. I remember the first time I cooked this dish. It was the summer between freshman and sophomore year of high school and it was my parent’s anniversary. It was the first time my mother never came in the kitchen once to watch over me! I was in heaven!
It's back to basics with your favorite gluten free pasta and ground beef or tender beef strips. Ah - comfort food!
Ingredients
- 3/4 pounds lean (7%) ground beef
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2/3 cup chopped yellow onion, chopped finely
- 1 large clove garlic, grated or minced
- 1/2 to 1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
- 1/8 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet*
- 7/8 cup gluten-free low-sodium chicken broth (may some sub with wine)
- 1/3 cup cream cheese or sour cream
- Freshly ground black pepper and sea salt, to taste
- Gluten-free pasta, cooked (I used 6 oz. (half box) of Jovial's brown rice Caserecce/Spirals (uncooked)
- Flat leaf parsley, for garnish
Directions
- In a large cast iron skillet, add beef and turn heat to medium-high; stir and break up the beef; cook until pink is almost gone.
- Add onion, butter (and mushrooms, if using) and cook until onion is translucent.
- Add garlic and stir; cook for 30-60 seconds.
- Add chicken broth and cream cheese or sour cream and stir until melted/blended into the sauce.
- Bring to a boil and cook until it reaches its desire consistency, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to a plate and pour meet mixture over the pasta. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Tips
Kitchen Bouquet can be added to reach your desired color. Some people prefer to use Gravy Master. Its main purpose is to darken the gravy. If you do not have any Kitchen Bouquet on hand, add a tiny bit of dark pure molasses. You can also melt some brown sugar in a non-stick frying pan until it is nice and brown, add water and store in your refrigerator for the next use. Just add enough to the sauce to darken it.
Adding a splash of extra virgin olive oil to the water prior to boiling your pasta will help prevent them from sticking together.
Jovial makes great gluten-free pasta! Tinkyada is also good. Both can be found at most Whole Foods Markets. My newest favorite gluten-free pasta is Trader Joe's Brown Rice Penne Pasta! Use it all the time.
I have all of these ingredients (except Kitchen Bouquet) but cannot print your recipe. Never mind: found the print button. When my stomach and intenstines feel better, I intend to try out this recipe. Thank You.!
You are very welcome, Elizabeth!
