Classic Beef Stroganoff
Rich, Comforting & Hearty
This Classic Beef Stroganoff is the ultimate comfort food — tender, slow-cooked beef in a creamy, deeply flavorful mushroom sauce. Perfect for chilly evenings or a special family dinner, this dish delivers rich textures, savoury depth, and naturally satisfying protein.
Using chuck beef ensures melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, while mushrooms and onions add layers of earthy flavour. A touch of Dijon mustard, paprika, and apple cider vinegar lifts the sauce, balancing richness with brightness. Thickened with gluten-free flour and simmered in robust beef stock, this Stroganoff feels indulgent yet wholesome, making it a timeless favourite that’s also naturally gluten-free.
Benefits of Each Ingredient
Chuck Beef
Chuck beef is rich in protein, iron, and zinc, supporting muscle health, energy production, and immune function. Its marbled fat also contributes to tenderness and flavour.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms provide antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals like selenium, supporting immune function, brain health, and flavour complexity. They also add natural umami to the dish.
Onion
Onions contain quercetin, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, and enhance the sweetness and depth of the sauce when cooked.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar adds tang and brightness while helping to tenderise the beef. It also supports digestion and balances the richness of the sauce.
Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
Gluten-free flour thickens the sauce without gluten, creating a smooth, creamy texture that holds the sauce beautifully on the beef and mushrooms.
Dijon Mustard
Dijon mustard adds subtle tang, enhancing flavour complexity while contributing antioxidants and phytonutrients from mustard seeds.
Paprika
Paprika delivers warmth, colour, and gentle smokiness, and is rich in vitamin A and antioxidants.
Beef Stock
Beef stock provides a rich base for the sauce and contains minerals and collagen-supporting compounds, contributing to both flavour and mouthfeel.
