Ingredients:
- 1 lb low-fat grass-fed beef (I got 90/10 lean)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1.5 lbs mushrooms (I used a mix of cremini mushrooms and portobello), chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can coconut milk or cream, separated
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup plain unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp arrowroot powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, plus additional to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper, plus additional to taste
- 1/4 tsp thyme
- 1 tbsp sherry cooking wine
- 1/4 tsp whole grain or dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
- 1 box chickpea pasta (I used Banza rotini pasta, it is amazing)
- 1/4 cup curly parsley, finely chopped
Recipe:
- Start by making coconut ‘sour cream.’ Remove coconut cream from top of coconut milk can leaving the water behind. Stir in 2 tbsp lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Turn stove to medium heat and drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil into a cast iron skillet. Add in chopped onion and allow to cook for 2 minutes. Stir in chopped mushrooms, garlic, 1/4 tsp thyme, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp sea salt and allow to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until mushrooms are softened and onions are translucent. Remove mushrooms and onions from skillet and set aside.
- Add ground beef to pan and cook for 5-8 minutes until cooked through and browned. Once beef has finished cooking, add mushrooms and onions back into skillet and stir together.
- Mix in 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp sherry cooking wine, 1/4 tsp dijon mustard, and 1 cup beef broth. Simmer for 5 minutes, letting the flavors combine.
- Meanwhile, boil water to cook pasta and salt generously. Following directions on the box, cook entire box of pasta until al dente. Drain pasta and set aside.
- Returning to stroganoff mixture, stir in coconut milk sour cream until fully incorporated.
- Separately whisk together 1 tbsp arrowroot powder and 1/2 cup almond milk. Pour into stroganoff and stir thoroughly to combine. Allow sauce to thicken for 2 minutes. Remove from stove and mix in chickpea pasta and 2 tbsp fresh parsley. Top with remaining parsley, serve immediately, and enjoy the true comfort of this indulgent meal!
