Description

This Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Ground Beef Stroganoff is a comforting and flavorful twist on the classic dish, made creamy with full-fat coconut milk and gluten-free flour. It features sautéed mushrooms, caramelized onions, and tender ground beef, all simmered in a rich sauce and served over gluten-free spiral noodles for a satisfying meal suitable for gluten-sensitive and dairy-free diets.


Ingredients

Scale

Sauce and Meat

  • 2 Tbsp avocado oil
  • ½ yellow onion, sliced
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tsp sea salt, to taste
  • ⅓ cup beef broth or water for deglazing the skillet
  • 1 (15-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 to 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce, optional
  • 2 Tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour

For Serving

  • 8 ounces gluten-free spiral noodles
  • Dried or fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Caramelize Onions and Cook Mushrooms: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onion begins to caramelize, about 8 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and sea salt, stirring well. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften, about 3 minutes.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet to make room in the center. Add the ground beef to the hot area and brown it for 3 minutes on one side, then flip and brown for another 3 minutes. Use a spatula to break the meat into smaller pieces and mix it evenly with the vegetables.
  3. Prepare Sauce Mixture: In a bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the full-fat coconut milk, beef broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce (if using), and gluten-free flour until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Simmer the Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet with the beef and vegetables, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a full boil, then reduce heat slightly and stir occasionally until the sauce thickens, about 8 minutes.
  5. Cook the Noodles: While the sauce is cooking, prepare the gluten-free spiral noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles well.
  6. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Transfer the drained noodles into the skillet with the thickened sauce. Stir thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly in the stroganoff sauce.
  7. Adjust Flavor and Serve: Taste the stroganoff and add sea salt, extra Dijon mustard, or Worcestershire sauce as desired for additional flavor. Sprinkle with dried or fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can replace the gluten-free all-purpose flour with tapioca flour for a slightly different texture and gluten-free alternative.
  • This dish is equally delicious when served over steamed white or brown rice instead of gluten-free noodles.
  • To enhance flavor, allow the sauce to simmer gently so the coconut milk thickens naturally without curdling.
  • Use fresh parsley for a bright garnish or dried parsley if fresh is unavailable.
