Ingredients
Step-By-Step Instructions
-
Sauté the Onions
In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and slightly golden.
-
Add the Mushrooms
Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
-
Season it Up
Stir in the salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Give everything a good mix so the flavors start to blend. Smells amazing already!
-
Cook the Beef
Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the shaved or stir-fry beef right into the pan. Sear and stir for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. If your beef pieces are thicker, it may take a bit longer.
Pro Tip: Shaved beef cooks faster and absorbs flavor beautifully!
-
Add the Coconut Milk
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the canned coconut milk and stir to coat the beef and veggies in that rich, creamy sauce.
-
Simmer & Serve
Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, just enough for the flavors to meld and everything to heat through.
Now grab a spoon (or fork) and dig in!
Note
Tips for Stroganoff Success
✔️ Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest result
✔️ Don’t overcook the beef – especially if it’s thinly sliced
✔️ Want it thicker? Simmer longer or stir in a bit of arrowroot powder
✔️ Dijon mustard = flavor booster – don’t skip it!
