A Kitchen Hoors Adventures | Tex-Mex Beef Stroganoff

I’m sitting there thinking, as one often does, of ways to reduce my food waste. In particular, dairy food waste. The containers of fat free sour cream are never small and I usually don’t have a ton of ideas to use them up before they go bad.

There. I’ve said it. I keep sour cream in my fridge, sometimes for so long that it gets more sour than it already is or *gasp* molds. *hangs head in shame*

This Tex-Mex Stroganoff is a twist on traditional stroganoff that's delicious!! The beef is simmered in a chipotle and salsa sauce before the sour cream is added. It’s truly tasty!

So, I was sitting there trying to figure out how to rectify this situation and was thinking of all the things I could use the sour cream for. Creamy cool sour cream really does deserve something tasty and flavorful. Then this popped into my head! Tex-Mex food ALMOST ALWAYS requires sour cream, so this Tex-Mex Stroganoff was a no brainer, to me, at least.

I didn’t want to make just a regular old stroganoff. Been there. Done that. I’ve made an Easy Chicken Stroganoff and a Portobello Stroganoff on my blog. There’s a beef one, but it’s not my recipe. Hm….now there’s an idea.

Anyway.

I wanted to do something different with the stroganoff. I wanted the creamy tastiness of the stroganoff sauce, but with a twist. And I think this is a pretty good twist.

Just look at that creamy, spicy, goodness on top of those noodles. Okay. You can stop licking the screen now! It’s is just that; creamy, spicy, delicious goodness over noodles. Since this was a Saturday meal, I was disappointed that I wouldn’t get this for lunch the next day. That just means that I have to make it again.

But, it was a quick and easy meal. Yes, quick and easy meals are 5 nights a week; Monday through Thursday and Saturday. If I don’t have a quick and easy meal on Saturday, then we order out. That’s no good for me and this kitchentervention that I’m on. Ordering in means fat and protein and just no healthy goodness. So, if I can prevent that with deliciousness that is THIS meal, then that only makes me healthier.

And did I mention that this was eye of round, which is usually in my markdown section or at least an inexpensive cut of meat? A pan sear and then a slight simmer in the sauce and it’s a tasty, INEXPENSIVE, meal, to boot!

I know there are not many that know what to do with sliced eye of round steaks. Eye of round roast, yes, but steaks? Not so much. I keep my eye out for this cut because not only is it perfect for this type of meal, but it’s also good for slow cooker meals, too! It’s a win/win!
