Stroganoff Marilyn Style
For this we bought some "Let's Do Organic" heavy coconut cream on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KMHYU9M
Ingredients
2 Tbsp avocado oil
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
3/4 to 1 lb beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp paprika
8 ounces organic mushrooms, sliced
1/3 cup beef broth (OMIT)
1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk, cream only
2-3 Tbsp FRESH lemon juice (not the bottled kind)
2 Tbsp whole grain mustard seed
1/4 cup fresh parsley
Instructions
NOTE: When making for Marilyn, you use washed quinoa to thicken it. About 1/3 cup. put it in, get it up to simmer and then cover it and put it on very low heat for 5 minutes or so (until the quinoa has absorbed enough moisture), then turn it off.
Slice the steak thinly and sprinkle with sea salt and paprika.
Heat the avocado oil over medium heat in a cast iron or stainless steel skillet. Add the onion and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the onion to a bowl and set aside. Place the skillet back on the burner.
Place the slices of beef on the hot skillet in a single layer and sear until golden-brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Use tongs to flip the slices and sear another 30 seconds. Transfer seared meat to a bowl and set aside (note: You’ll likely need to sear the meat in two batches, depending on the size of your skillet).
Wipe out skillet with a paper towel, add another 1 to 2 tablespoons of avocado oil, and place back on the burner. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden-brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the beef broth to de-glaze the skillet and bring to a full boil. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, until liquid has reduced slightly.
Add the remaining ingredients to the skillet - onion, beef, coconut cream, lemon juice, and mustard. Stir well to combine and bring to a full but gentle boil. Cook until sauce has thickened to desired texture, about 1 minute. Taste the stroganoff for flavor and add sea salt and/or more mustard or lemon juice to taste.
Serve beef stroganoff with organic zucchini noodles, or side dish of choice. Serve with parsley.
