This is so good, I just can’t keep it to myself anymore! I make it 2-3 times every month. It’s just so delicious and comforting. I adapted this recipe from a non-Paleo recipe I saw on here. It’s so nourishing and 100% Paleo! You can make it Primal by using sour cream instead of coconut milk cream. Hope you like it!
Ingredients:
- 2 TB of Butter or Ghee
- 2 TB of extra-virgin olive oil or coconut oil, divided
- 1 lg Onion, diced
- 8 ounces of sliced white mushrooms (slice em’ thick)
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 2 TB of tomato paste
- 1.5 ts thyme
- 1.5 ts rosemary
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 TB arrowroot powder
- 1.5 cup beef stock (I usually use my homemade chicken stock since I make a batch every week)
- 2/3 cup thick coconut cream (this is the cream off the top of a can of coconut milk). I recommend Native Forest
for this because it separates really good in the can.
- 1/2 ts of sea salt
- 1/2 ts black pepper
- cooked Cauliflower Rice, Sliced Zucchini “noodles”, sweet potato noodle
, or Spaghetti Squash
Directions:
In a skillet, melt the butter/or Ghee with 1 TB of olive/or coconut oil. Add the mushrooms and onions, and saute until slightly softened and browned around the edges. Remove to a plate.
Brown ground beef in 1 TB of olive oil until no longer pink. Return onions and mushrooms to pan. Add tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, and garlic. Saute’ for about 3 minutes to allow the flavors to develop. Reduce heat to medium. Sprinkle arrowroot powder over meat mixture and stir to combine until arrowroot is completely mixed in. Add beef stock and stir to mix in.
Sauce will begin to thicken as it comes to a simmer.
Reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a couple minutes.
Stir in the thick coconut cream.
Serve over cooked Cauliflower Rice, sliced zucchini noodles, sweet potato noodle
We made it with sweet potato noodle
Yummy! Something to try for my very picky daughter. Thanks a lot for sharing.
She will love it! My 3 year old gobbles it down!
We made this tonight…and it tastes a million times better than SAD Stroganoff. It was absolutely delicious and such a comfort food. I will definitely be adding this to our weekly lineup for sure. Cheap, easy, and soothing. Thank you so much! 🙂
That’s so good to hear! We love it too! Thank you!
Does this taste coconutty?
Nope, not at all!
Thank You, will try tonight!
This was awesome! I was worried it would be coconutty, but it was not at all! Hubby couldn’t believe ther was no dairy in it! Thank you!
So glad you liked it!!!
Excellent recipe! Great comfort food! Even my fussy 6 year old daughter liked it! Thank you for sharing!
Oh that is a big complement!!! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I am thrilled to have found this recipe (and your blog!) although I have a pound of pastured ground turkey to use tonight…My husband loves stroganoff sans peas!
Thank you Melanie! Let me know how you all liked it
Is there anything you’d recommend instead of adding mushrooms? I don’t like them much but I know they give it that ‘earthy’ kinda flavor. Thanks!
hmmm, you could try another vegetable like zucchini!
I can’t get my hands on arrowroot powder easily. Is it just a thickening agent? I’ve got lots of GF flours that I could substitute.
Do you have tapioca powder?
I have tapioca flour so if that’s the same thing as powder then yes I do! 🙂
That was very delicious. Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely make it again!
How many servings does this make?
I would say 4 servings.
this was a great recipe, thanks for sharing. Where are you finding your sweet potato noodles? do you order them online? thanks!
I actually find mine for pretty cheap at a nearby Asian market. You can also order them off Amazon
Best stroganoff I have ever made! Loved it. I did use sour cream, but would definitely try the coconut cream option if we ever needed to be dairy free again.
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!
I wad looking for a “family-fixer” meal for myself, my 1-yo son and my FIL whiley husband is at work and MIL is gone. I used almond milk and GF flour (for thickener). My FIL, who drinks Coke cubes like they’re nothing, approved, first bite! Thank you for this, from a paleo neophyte!
Yay!!! Glad to hear it was a winner!
OMG, sooo good i couldnt stop tasting the sauce!!! Shared on fb with a link to recipe. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
glad to hear!!!
This looks great! I’m trying to think of something to use instead of tomato paste. I was thinking maybe mashed sweet potato or carrot? Do you think that’d work or do you think something else would be better?
Thanks!
I’m sure that would work!!! Let me know how it is!
I made two batches. One with a carrot version of tomato paste (my recipe for that needs work haha) and one without. Both were super delicious.. the carrot one a little more so.
I also had to leave out the arrowroot powder since I don’t do well with it. I just let my sauce simmer a little longer to reduce and that worked out pretty well.
Thanks for the great recipe!
Yum, I just made this for dinner tonight, and my husband and I loved it! I used coconut oil and avocado oil, chicken stock instead of beef stock, almond flour instead of arrowroot, and butternut squash puree (about 1/3 cup) instead of tomato paste. That’s just what I had on hand, and it was delicious. I served mine over zucchini noodles, and my family had theirs with rotini pasta. Thank you so much for this yummy recipe!
So glad to hear that!
This was quite good. I had it on Spaghetti Squash and used the Coconut Cream from Trader Joes. I will definitely make it again!
Just made this tonight and both my husband and myself loved it! We had it over spaghetti squash and it was perfect! We will be making this frequently! Thank you!
Yay Catherine! Glad you liked it!
This quickly became one of our favorite recipes, so I tripled it, left out the arrowroot and coconut cream, and pressure canned it…10 pounds for 75 minutes. I blogged about it (with a link to your page), but did not give the recipe yet. I’m waiting until I open a jar after a while and use it. We usually eat it on spaghetti squash…it’s SO stinkin’ good.
So glad you love it!!!
This was soooo yummy over zoodles…making it again with cauli rice!! Soooo good..comfort food!
Just wanted to let you know that our family has made this recipe dozens of times and it is definitely one of our favorite meals! My dad especially loves it!
I decided to use ground turkey instead of hamburger and chose to make paleo biscuits instead of pasta. My family loved it!!! Next time I will double the recipe!!
LOVED this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing!
So glad you liked it.
Making this tonight!!
This might be a dumb question, but does this recipe call for FRESH thyme and rosemary?
Fresh herbs are always best. If you use dry, you only use about 1/2 of what you would use in fresh herbs. The Stroganoff recipe uses dry herbs.
I made this tonight after grocery shopping. It was delicious and simple enough to make after a long day! I served it over spaghetti squash and used chicken broth. My husband commented several
Times on how good it was, and my 4 year old ate it happily with a side of steamed asparagus.
This was VERY good! Mine reduced quite a bit so I didn’t even use arrowroot. Next time, I may use carton coconut milk with less calories and arrowroot to thicken as opposed to the coconut cream. However, with the coconut cream, it will probably stretch out the meal to 6 servings since it is so rich and hearty. Either way, I absolutely loved this!!! I ate one portion and froze the rest since today was my cooking for the month day. I will definitely double or even triple the batch next time so I have a ton to freeze, and can enjoy it for a few days after making it!
So glad you liked it…we love it too!
when taking it out of the freezer did you just reheat on stove top? if so how long did it take?
Yes, let it thaw, and then reheat on medium high, stirring occasionally. It won’t take more than a few minutes.
My daughter made this for dinner tonight. Doubled. We made the following substitutions- corn starch instead of arrowroot. Sour cream for the coconut cream. I used no butter or ghee just the coconut oil. My daughter also accidentally added the entire can of tomato paste and 4 cups of broth. We just cooked it a little longer on a higher temp to get the added liquid out. It was excellent. I do think she added too much sour cream. Next time I will add half and watch the tomato paste. Thanks for sharing!!
This was SO good! I served mine over sweet potatoes and it was delicious!
Can this be made a day ahead? If so, best to just refrigerate over night and reheat on stove top? I am making a meal to take to someone and would like to use this recipe. I need to drop off a day in advance of when they will actually eat the meal. Suggestions?
Yes this is a perfect make-ahead food. You can simply reheat when you are ready to use it.
This is a really great base recipe. My boyfriend and I have enjoyed making this a lot, but we have made some adjustments to get more flavor out of the dish.
-Ground lamb vs beef added a lot of flavor. The one we bought was 15% fat, but you could mix lean beef into it to lower the fat content of the meat.
*2-3 capfuls of Worshtershire to taste
*2-3 capfuls of Braggs aminos to taste
*2-3 capfuls of white vinegar to taste
*Used coconut yogurt instead of the coconut cream the second time we made it. We though the coconut cream made it a bit more oily than we preferred.
This combination give it a more full bodied flavor.
That sounds delicious! I’m glad you are enjoying the recipe!
