My son is going through a really picky food texture phase. With toddlers, it seems like one day they love a certain food and the next day it is the worst thing they have ever tasted. While most kids love plain noodles and mac n cheese, Noah shudders like I just fed him a worm or something. Come to think of it, he would probably enjoy a worm more.
So the other night I was making dinner and decided to do something a little differently. Instead of using noodles for my beef stroganoff, I lightly sauteed some noodles crafted out of sweet potatoes. They cook rather quickly and still have a nice little crunch, so it feels like a noodle, but with a slightly different texture. It was an instant hit. You can make your own at home using a SPIRILIZER, or many grocery chains sell them pre-spiraled in the produce section for those days when you just need fast and easy.
Lately he hasn’t been into sweet potatoes, and they are soooooo full of nutrients so I felt like this was a huge mom win in the healthy eating category. It’s such a great healthy meal alternative for adults too because this recipe for Skinny Beef Stroganoff replaces some of the traditional unhealthy ingredients like sour cream with a protein packed yogurt, and fatty cuts of beef for a leaner, grass fed ground beef. It is gluten free and low carb too! And like most Moms, I love that it is ready to eat in 30 minutes or less. Skinny Beef Stroganoff is where it’s at!

Skinny Beef Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean grass fed beef
- 2 celery stalks with leaves, diced
- 1 whole leek rinsed well and diced
- 6 oz portabello mushrooms chopped
- 1.5 cups organic beef broth
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup Plain low fat yogurt I used Siggy's
- 4 cups Sweet Potato Noodles
- 2 tsp olive oil
- fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
-
Brown beef in a large saucepan of cast iron skillet over medium high heat, about 5 min. Add celery, leek and mushroom and cook another 5-8 min, or until veggies are tender. Add beef broth, red wine and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 min. While beef mixture is cooking, saute sweet potato noodles for 2-3 min in olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 tbsp water to help steam and cook another minute or until noodles start to soften, but retain their crunch (like an al dente noodle).
-
Right before serving, remove beef mixture from heat and stir in yogurt. Serve warm topped with fresh chopped parsley.
