Beef and mushrooms make the best combination. Especially in this gluten free beef stroganoff. This small batch recipe, created for two, contains about 400 calories per serving. Perfect for any night of the week!
400 Calorie Meal
When I originally wrote this post in 2013, I was working at Curves. If you’re unfamiliar with Curves, it’s a fitness facility for women. Fast forward to 2017. I’m not longer working there, and I’ve learned how to take better pictures. I also learned that in weight loss, not everything has to be exact, and not every single calorie has to be minutely counted.
Even though my time at Curves is done, I really enjoyed some of the 400 calorie recipes in their Curves Complete plan. One of these is a what I turned into a gluten free beef stroganoff. I’ve tried it with various brands of pasta, including this Organic Brown Rice & Quinoa Fusilli from Trader Joe’s. At $2.99 for a 1 lb. bag, I thought that was a great deal! Added bonus? This pasta is also organic!
Do What Works Best for You
Now, I have to be honest that I “tweeked” this gluten free beef stroganoff recipe a bit from the original. To start, I sauteed the thin slices of beef in a tablespoon of butter. When those were cooked, I removed the beef from the pan and sauteed the onions and fresh mushrooms.
I used Pacific Foods Cream of Mushroom instead of Cream of Chicken, because mushrooms are amazing. I also substituted Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. (We never have sour cream in the house and ALWAYS make this substitution.) I also left out the flour and water, because the mixture was plenty thick.
