minutesWe love to use London broil for Beef Stroganoff, as it is so lean and tender, and lends itself perfectly to the brief cooking time. Keeping the meat well chilled makes the slicing much easier. The finished Beef Stroganoff tastes every bit as rich and creamy as the dairy original, and the addition of the mushrooms make it unnecessary to come up with another side dish. It is ready in no time, and smells as heavenly as it tastes.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 large onion, diced small
680g white mushrooms, sliced
1 London broil, 1.2 – 1.5Kg, about 1 inch thick, well chilled
Flour, any kind including gluten-free
1/2 cup dry sherry
1/2 cup soy or other non-dairy milk (rice, grain, oat, almond)
4 sprigs thyme, leaves only
1/3 cup vegan sour cream
Good pinch nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil and sauté the onions until translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and sauté until all liquids evaporate.
- Remove the sautéed mixture and reserve.
- Slice the meat very thin. Put the flour in a plate.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet.
- Dredge the meat slices in the flour, shaking off the excess, and sauté briefly, about one minute on each side.
- Add the reserved mushroom mixture, sherry, milk and thyme to the skillet and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the flame to medium and cook, covered, about 10 minutes.
- Gently stir in the sour cream, nutmeg and pepper and heat through, not letting it come to a boil again so it does not curdle.
- Serve hot with noodles, rice or mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Variations. Here are just a few suggestions:
– Artichoke Hearts or bottoms. Add in the last 30 minutes of cooking.
– Mushrooms. Add at the beginning of cooking.
– Tiny potatoes: Add in the last 30 minutes of cooking
– Tomatoes: add a large chopped onion and 2 large diced tomatoes at the beginning of cooking. No mustard
