Paleo Beef Stroganoff

Things I’ve learned since moving out of my parents’ house to a humble apartment in Chicago’s Lincoln Park area: I. Was. Spoiled. Not only was I saving enough money to afford a $200/month crossfit membership, oh no, that’s just the beginning of it. I also had a 15-minute commute to work (now it’s an hour) so I had extra time to attend said crossfit classes about 5 times per week. Further, every single night I came home to a hot meal cooked by my step mom. Of course, she knew I was trying to follow a low carb, high protein diet, so dinner always, always included a meat, hot vegetable, side salad, and typically a starch I just didn’t eat. Oh, and that’s not all. Nine times out of 10 there would be dinner leftovers for me to take to lunch, so pretty much my life couldn’t be easier.

Since I’m a girl who likes to use her resources, I still go home for family dinner night about once every other week, sometimes more. Of course the main reason I go is to visit with family, but the free (always amazing) dinner doesn’t hurt. How lucky am I to be a part of a family with amazing cooks that adapt to my strange diet??

This Paleo Beef Stroganoff was repurpose recipe using leftover beef tenderloin from family dinner night. I always used to love when my mom made beef stroganoff with egg noodles, so I decided to create the healthy version of the comforting classic. Trust me, you won’t miss the canned soup or cream in this recipe! The coconut milk gives it a creaminess, but I promise you can’t taste the coconut. Serve it over a bed of your favorite veggie noodles and DEVOUR … er, I mean enjoy!
