Instructions
Preparation
- Cook gluten-free noodles according to package directions so they’re ready when the sauce is finished. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium, add remaining olive oil, then the onion. Cook 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Add mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices and begin to brown, about 6–8 minutes.
Sauce Preparation
- Stir in tomato paste, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, and the gluten-free Worcestershire-style sauce. Cook a minute to bloom flavors.
- Pour in beef broth and scrape any browned bits from the pan.
- Return browned beef to the skillet and simmer 3–4 minutes.
- Whisk the cornstarch slurry and stir into the simmering mixture until thickened.
- Remove from heat and gently fold in dairy-free sour cream until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serving
- Spoon the stroganoff over cooked gluten-free noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped parsley and extra black pepper.
Notes
Use room-temperature dairy-free sour cream to prevent curdling when folded into hot sauce. Toast the mushrooms well — that caramelization adds depth to the sauce. For an easy weeknight meal plan, this dish fits nicely into a 7-day gluten-free dairy-free meal plan. If you want a lighter version, swap half the ground beef for ground turkey and increase the mushrooms.
