Ingredients
- For the Stroganoff:
- 2 cups plant-based beef strips soy curls, seitan, or mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or vegan butter for extra richness
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms sliced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard adds a tangy depth
- 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce for umami richness
- For the Creamy Sauce:
- 1 ½ cups vegetable broth
- ½ cup plant-based sour cream or blended cashew cream
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch or flour for thickening
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- For Serving:
- 12 ounces cooked pasta fettuccine, pappardelle, or gluten-free noodles
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Choose the Right Plant-Based Protein
- Soy curls mimic the chewiness of beef when properly hydrated.
- Seitan has a naturally firm texture, making it a great alternative.
- Lentils or jackfruit work for a whole-food, gluten-free version.
- Enhance the Umami Flavor
- A splash of vegan Worcestershire sauce or a pinch of nutritional yeast can deepen the savory notes.
- Use tamari instead of regular soy sauce for a gluten-free option with a richer taste.
- Make the Sauce Extra Creamy
- If you prefer a richer sauce, add full-fat coconut milk or blended cashews for a velvety texture.
- For a tangier stroganoff, try unsweetened plant-based yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Cook the Mushrooms to Perfection
- Don’t rush the sautéing step! Letting the mushrooms brown properly enhances their meaty texture and deepens the overall flavor.
- Let It Rest Before Serving
- Allow the stroganoff to sit for a few minutes after cooking—this helps the sauce thicken and fully absorb into the ingredients.
