Savory ground beef stroganoff made with dairy free and gluten free ingredients! Flavorful ground beef, mushrooms, and onions coated in a creamy dairy free sauce. This dish is made in under 30-minutes and sure to leave you feeling satisfied!
Dairy Free Beef Stroganoff
I have always been a fan of beef stroganoff but have not had it since I started eliminating dairy and gluten from my diet. I missed the comforting taste of the classic stroganoff dish so I recreated it using only dairy and gluten free ingredients.
This recipe uses a few simple ingredients like ground beef, mushrooms, onion and a blend of coconut milk, mustard, lemon, and vinegar for a tangy sour cream alternative. Serve with gluten free noodles for a satisfying meal the whole family will love!

How To Make Ground Beef Stroganoff
Make the dairy free sour cream: In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut cream, dijon mustard, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
Heat a large sauté pan, skillet, or dutch oven. Add the ground beef and brown until cooked through (about 5 minutes). Transfer to a plate and set aside.
If needed, add olive oil to the pan. Add the onions and mushrooms. Sauté until they begin to caramelize and soften (about 4 minutes). Next, add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add the beef broth and wait until simmering. Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir until thickened. Then slowly add the dairy free sour cream mixture, stirring constantly. Add in the beef and let simmer for 5 minutes on low. Season with salt and pepper.
Serve over gluten-free noodles. Enjoy!

How to make Whole30 and Paleo
Make sure to check the ingredients in your beef broth and dijon mustard before making this recipe Whole30 or Paleo friendly. I like the Primal Kitchen dijon mustard for Paleo and Whole30 approved ingredients. You can also leave out the flour. The flour is used as a thickener for the sauce.

Store the leftovers for the beef stroganoff in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat using the microwave or stovetop.
