Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Healthy Beef Stroganoff
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once shimmering, add half of the sirloin steak, seasoning with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Sear for 2-3 minutes without moving, then flip and cook for another minute. Remove the steak and repeat with the remaining steak.
  2. Reduce the skillet heat to medium-low and melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add 1 finely diced shallot and 5-6 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  3. Stir in 1 large sliced yellow onion and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until softened.
  4. Sprinkle in 2 teaspoons of dried thyme, ½ teaspoon of freshly-ground pepper, ½ teaspoon of smoked paprika, and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour. Stir for 1 minute, allowing the flour to absorb moisture.
  5. Pour in 2 cups of bone broth, scraping the bottom of the pan. Stir until smooth and let it simmer for a minute.
  6. Incorporate 8 ounces of sliced Baby Bella mushrooms and 1-2 handfuls of spinach. Add 1 tablespoon each of Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return the seared steak to the skillet, covering with the sauce and vegetables. Cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Uncover and allow the sauce to reduce for 2-3 minutes, thickening further.
  9. Turn off the heat and gently fold in ⅔ cup of plain Greek yogurt until well combined.
  10. Finally, gently fold in the cooked 8 ounces of egg noodles until well coated in the sauce. Serve immediately.
