Ingredients
1 lb Grass-Fed Ground Beef
8 oz Cremini Mushrooms, sliced
1 medium Yellow Onion, diced
3 Garlic Cloves, minced
1.5 cups Beef Bone Broth
1/2 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
8 oz Whole Grain or Chickpea Pasta
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of avocado oil. Add the grass-fed beef and brown it thoroughly, breaking it into small crumbles. Once cooked, remove the beef and set it aside, leaving the natural fats in the pa
- Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the diced onions and sliced mushrooms. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and turn golden brown. Add the minced garlic during the last minute to prevent burning
- Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the beef bone broth and Dijon mustard. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, as these contain intense flavor. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer
- Cook the Pasta: If you are using a one-pot method, add your dry whole-grain pasta directly into the broth. Cover the skillet and cook until the pasta reaches an al dente texture. Alternatively, boil the pasta separately in a different pot and stir it in later
- Incorporate the Creaminess: Turn off the heat. This step is crucial to prevent the Greek yogurt from curdling. Stir in the Greek yogurt and the cooked beef. Mix until the sauce becomes a silky, uniform consistency
- Final Seasoning: Season your Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Garnish generously with fresh parsley
Notes
To achieve the best results, avoid overcrowding the pan when browning the beef and mushrooms for maximum flavor.
Always use room temperature Greek yogurt to prevent curdling when mixing into the hot sauce.
