This dish is kept easy and budget-friendly by using ground beef and a skillet method. Using ground beef instead of steak for this Beef Stroganoff is more budget-friendly and easy to cook, while mushrooms add a savory depth. 

The creamy sauce is made using coconut cream and coconut aminos for that perfect, dairy-free balance of richness and umami. Note that we recommend using coconut cream for this recipe, as it is higher in fat content and creaminess than coconut milk. Be sure to use canned, unsweetened, full-fat coconut cream. It’s a fantastic dairy-free swap for the traditional sour cream used in beef stroganoff!
