Gluten-Free Beef Stroganoff Recipe

So many stroganoff recipes use cream of mushroom soup and even cream cheese. This recipe is a little different we make the sauce from broth, gluten-free flour, cream, seasoning, and mushrooms. It results in a creamy, tasty sauce that is so comforting you cannot help yourself having more. 

You can decide on the beef meat cut you want to use, but bear in mind the cheaper cuts of meat will need to cook a little longer in order not to be tough.

Make sure you choose a side that laps up all of the sauce, so none goes to waste. I like adding it to gluten-free noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. A nice crusty bread also works well. Follow my step-by-step directions for success, yet this recipe is so easy you will make it with such ease.

How to Make Gluten-Free Beef Stroganoff

1. Fry the beef in olive oil for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn the heat lower. Then transfer the beef to a plate.
2. Fry the mushrooms, onions, and garlic in the remaining oil. Add more oil if necessary. Fry for 7 minutes.
3. Add gluten-free flour to the pan and mix. Fry everything together for another 3 minutes.
4. Pour the broth and cream into the pan, and add salt, pepper, and any other spices to taste. Stir and bring to a boil.
5. Add the fried beef to the pan. For convenience, beef stroganoff can be transferred to a deep saucepan, then the liquid will evaporate more slowly during stewing. Cover the pan (saucepan) with a lid and cook until the beef is soft - this can take from 15 to 40-60 minutes. Add water or broth as needed.

Serve with gluten-free noodles, rice, or potatoes.
