Skinny Beef Stroganoff

When I think of beef stroganoff, like most, it means comfort food. This usually means fattening too. Well I found a way to lighten it up without losing flavor. My normal recipe calls for cream of mushroom soup. So here is a modified way that is full of flavor.
Ingredients:
Stew meat, onion (I ran out so I used onion flakes), garlic, Worcestershire sauce, season salt, pepper, 2 cups of beef stock, greek yogurt plain, egg noodles and spray oil, 2 packets of beef stroganoff mix from the spice isle.
Take 2-3 pounds of stew meat (diet stew meat if you can find it), another option is to ask the butcher to cut a lean roast for you. Sprinkle meat with season salt, garlic powder and pepper.

Spray pan and brown the meat, LEAVE it alone once it is put in a very hot pan, let it sit and it will get a golden brown crust on one side, then turn and sprinkle about 1tbsp of onion flakes on it.



Add a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce to the pan after meat is cooked, slowly incorporate 2 cups of beef stock slowly until it is all cooked off. Then add 2 cups of water and the stroganoff package (I used 2). Simmer slowly while your noodles cook.



YUMMY, it is coming together now. Just add the greek yogurt. The bonus and skinny part here. Sour cream has about 60 calories and 7 grams of fat, with no protein for 2 tbsp. Yogurt serving size is 1 cup and has 130 calories, no fat and 28g of protein. YOWSA, and it tastes the same. I add 1 cup of yogurt and simmer away. This saves a ton in calories and fat (around 500 for the entire dish in sour cream alone)







The finished product, serve over egg noodles and devour. My family loves this, it is warm and hearty. I normally would use mushrooms too, however I used them all last night.
