Weight Watchers Monday ~ Beef Stroganoff

 Beef Stroganoff in a Weight Watchers meal?
You have got to be kidding me.....
The points are on the higher side, but that simply means that you can
side this with a large salad.
Which is exactly what I did.
The points for this dish is 8 WW points.
On my plate is about 1 c. of no-yolk noodles and topped with 1/2-3/4 c. stroganoff.
I hope you have some strong willpower because you will need it.
You will fight with yourself for seconds.
BUT DON'T DO IT!
This is how I made it:

Weight Watchers Beef Stroganoff (8 ww points)

1 lb. stew meat
2 tsp. onion powder
5 garlic cloves, minced or sliced
1 c. beef broth
1/2 c. tomato sauce
6 TBS red wine
1/2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2/3 c. Greek yogurt (plain)
1/2 bag no-yolk noodles
Chopped fresh parsley, or dried (optional)
*Note: you can also add fresh sliced mushrooms when you add the garlic.

Place a non-stick skillet over medium/high heat until hot. Add stew meat and cook for 3 minutes, or until it is done to your liking (drain any liquid). Still over medium/high heat add onion powder and garlic. Saute 2 more minutes. Add beef broth and next five ingredients. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat, and simmer 50 minutes or until meat is tender.
Remove from heat; stir in Greek yogurt. Spoon over cooked noodles, and sprinkle with parsley.

  2. I've never seen Beef Stroganoff without 'MUSHROOMS' before. I always thought they were as important as the beef. That said, I'm glad to see your version because I am allergic to MUSHROOMS. Thanks.

    1. Joan, I have a mushroom hater in the house. Everything that calls for mushrooms is mushroom-less. And you are correct. Mushrooms are a very important ingredient in stroganoff. Thank you for stopping by.
