Beef Stroganoff was a staple in my home as a kid. Remember that creamy sauce that dripped over egg noodles or seeped into rice.
With a goal of eating mostly whole, non processed, anti inflammatory foods, I thought this meal was out of the question. . . But no. The cream,, soy, and high sodium can be replaced with healthy fats and whole foods.
True, this recipe is a little longer and more involved than the one with “cream of something” soup. However, your body with thank you for taking the time to fuel it with foods than heal instead of harm.
