Seriously Good Beef Stroganoff

So Beef Stroganoff is one of my all time favorites.  I haven't had it in over a year because I didn't think I could and still maintain my new eating lifestyle.  Well hello, now with the Kick Ass Base ingredient I can enjoy beef stroganoff again.  I am sooooo happy.

So for this recipe you can use whatever beef you want.  I had some leftover shredded beef roast from yesterdays recipe so I threw that in for the cooked beef.

This whole recipe minus the noodles came in at 961 calories.  Could be a little more or less depending on the beef you use.

 
Onions, garlic and mushrooms in the pot.
 
Kicks ass base and boullion added, starting to thicken
 
Beef and sour cream added just simmer until ready to eat
 
Yay Yummy Yummy Yummy (and yes that was my hubbys portion with the real noodles)  The Shirataki were fine for me.
 
 
Kick Ass Base Ingredients (You will only use a portion of this) see note.
2 cups non-fat milk powder
¾ cup cornstarch 

Stroganoff Ingredients
2 tsp beef bouillon granules
1 ½ cups hot water
1lb Sirloin or any beef sliced in strips
1 large sliced onion
1 clove minced garlic
8 oz sliced button mushrooms
1/4 cup kick ass base
2 Tbsps reduced sugar or sugar free ketchup
½ cup fat free sour cream
Parsley for garnish
16 oz Shirataki noodles, or cooked whole wheat noodles for serving 

Mix together kick ass base ingredients.  You will only be using 1/4 cup for this recipe so store the rest in an air tight container for other recipes.  See note below. 

Dissolve beef granules in hot water.  Set aside. 

Place a large skillet or sauce pan over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.  Cook beef until almost done to your liking and remove.  Add sliced onion, garlic and mushrooms to pan meat was cook in and cook stirring until the onion is softened and browned, about 6 minutes.  Add kick ass base, and reserved beef bouillion.  Cook until thickened.  Add in ketchup, cooked beef and sour cream.  Cook until heated through.  Garnish with parsley.  Serve over Shirataki noodles, or whole wheat noodles.

Note:  You can add 1 ½ tsp chicken or beef granules to 1/3 cup base with 1 ¼ cup water to make a creamy soup.
