This healthier Ground Beef Stroganoff is a delicious ground beef and mushroom mixture, in a creamy greek yogurt sauce! It's great served on its own, over egg noodles, or rice.
Most traditional beef stroganoff recipes have ingredients like: heavy cream, sour cream, more butter, or canned mushroom soup. Our lightened up version has less butter, and uses Greek yogurt: a gut-healthy, protein-packed alternative that gives it a creamy consistency!
How to make Ground Beef Stroganoff
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper. Cook until no longer pink (breaking apart and occasionally stirring).
- Turn off the heat, and transfer the beef to a bowl. Cover, and set aside.
- Return the heat to medium-high, melt the butter, and add the onions and mushrooms. Cook about 3-5 minutes, or until onions are translucent.
- Stir in the garlic and flour, and cook until fragrant, should take less than 1 minute.
- Add the wine, and cook about 2 minutes, using the spatula to scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire, and dijon. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer about 5 minutes.
- Add the greek yogurt and cooked beef, stir and remove from heat.
- Season with salt & pepper to taste (I added ¼ teaspoon each).
- Sprinkle with a handful of chopped parsley.
- Serve over egg noodles or rice!
Recipe Notes
- Beef: I used 85% lean grass-fed ground beef, so there was no need to drain the meat. However, if you are using a higher fat content meat, you may want to drain it before setting it aside in a bowl.
- Serve over: Egg noodles, pastas, brown or white rice.
- Keto-friendly option: For a low-carb meal, eat the beef mixture on it’s own, or served over cauliflower rice!
How to Store Ground Beef Stroganoff
- For Best Results: Store separate from pasta or rice.
- FRIDGE: Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or stovetop until heated through.
- FREEZER: Freeze in an airtight container or plastic freezer bag, for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw and reheat on stovetop, or microwave, until heated through.
- Optional: After reheating, stir in more yogurt to make it a bit more creamy and "fresh" tasting.
Enjoy! 🙂
