Beef Stronganoff
The perfect winter warmer
Slow cooked beef stroganoff
(Serves 4)
Macros are with mashed potato
INGREDIENTS
- Lean diced beef (I use the Woolworths Heart Smart)

- Mushrooms: 300g (sliced/diced)

INSTRUCTIONS
- Brown the steak in half of the oil in a fry pan or wok over a medium to high heat, then add to slow cooker.
- Pan fry the onion and mushrooms in the remaining oil over a medium heat until just starting to brown (add some water if starting to stick), then add to the slow cooker.
- Add recipe base, tomato paste, garlic and water to the ingredients in the slow cooker. Mix to combine. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 6-8 hours or until the steak is tender. Add more water if required.

RECIPE HACKS AND UPGRADES
You can serve this with any base you like really – mashed potato, pasta, rice, even on toast for a hearty brekkie; or low carb options such as zucchini spirals or a bed of iceberg lettuce or baby spinach.
You don’t need to slow cook, the beef is just much more tender when you do. When choosing a lean cut of beef it can go tough pretty easily which is why I slow cook mine.
