Beef Stroganoff & Béchamel Sauce

Makes 4 servings

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb. hanger steak or filet mignon
  • Rice flour, for dusting
  • 1 t. garlic powder
  • ½ yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • ½- ¾ pound mixed mushrooms
  • 2 T. white wine
  • 1/3 c. beef broth
  • 1 c. béchamel
  • 2 cups cooked allergy-friendly noodles
  • 2 T. minced parsley

DIRECTIONS: 

  1. Slice the meat into 2×1 strips. Lightly dust in the rice flour and sprinkle with the garlic powder.
  2. Heat a pan over medium for a minute and then add a light drizzle of oil. Brown the meat quickly and remove from pan. In the same pan, sauté the yellow onion and mixed mushrooms for 8-10 minutes until the mushrooms are golden brown. Add the white wine and cook for a minute.
  3. Add the beef broth and the béchamel and cook over low heat until you have a nice sauce. Gently stir the meat back into the pan with the sauce and warm 2-3 minutes. Taste for seasoning and add more salt or more garlic powder as needed.
  4. Evenly split the noodles between four plates. Top with the stroganoff meat and mushroom sauce and sprinkle with the minced parsley.
