Vegan Beef Stroganoff

This creamy vegan beef stroganoff recipe is thick, filling & ready in 30 minutes! Whether you're trying to impress someone special in your life or you just want a tasty meal mid-week but don't want to spend hours cooking something, you've come to the right recipe!

I actually made this vegan beef stroganoff recipe by accident. I had a leftover can of coconut cream from a failed ice cream recipe experiment (so don't expect an ice cream recipe anytime soon lol) and used it to make a creamy pasta dish with a vegan beef substitute.

By the way, if you don't like coconut, don't worry! This vegan stronganoff dish doesn't taste like coconut! The coconut cream just turns it into a creamy stronganoff. I actually hate coconut and coconut flavored things so when I tell you this recipe will knock your socks off, trust me! It will!

Another secret ingredient for this vegan beef stroganoff is dijon mustard. It adds a little something-something to almost any sauce recipe and really takes it to the next level!

How To Make Vegan Beef Stroganoff

I've made this vegan beef stroganoff recipe 5 times now not only to perfect it but because I just loved it that much! It's also super easy to make!

For the "beef" in this vegan stroganoff recipe, I usually use beyond meat beyond beef since I buy it in bulk when it's on sale, but you can also experiment with whatever vegan beef substitute you prefer.

I enjoy the taste of beyond beef but I know some people don't so if don't, you can still make this vegan beef stroganoff recipe. Simply sub the beyond beef with a vegan beef you like or double the mushrooms in the recipe.

All measurements will be in my recipe card below!

1. Thaw your vegan beef. If you're cooking your vegan beef from frozen, you will have to use a separate pan to cook while everything else cooks.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add pasta. Cook until tender. Scoop ½ cup of pasta water before straining.
3. While pasta is cooking, dice onions, quarter mushrooms, and mince your garlic.
4. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil on medium-high heat and add onions.
5. Cook onions stirring frequently for about 5 min until they begin to get translucent making sure not to brown them.
6. Add garlic and cook for another 2 min.
7. Add mushrooms to the saucepan and cook until they begin to sweat about 5 minutes. Double your mushrooms if you're not using vegan beef.
8. Add your package of thawed vegan beef to the pan. (if cooking from frozen, cook in a separate pan and add later) Cook vegan beef until browned.
9. Pour coconut cream into a saucepan and stir until combined. (don't be alarmed if the cream is separated from the water in the can it'll mix back together)
10. Stir in the pasta water. (Adding the pasta water adds an element of creaminess to the recipe, it also makes it a bit more liquidy. If you prefer your sauce liquidy add half to three-quarters of a cup of the pasta water if you like it thick only ad one-quarter cup of the pasta water.)
11. Stir in nutritional yeast, dill weed, dijon, soy sauce, and lemon juice.
12. Sauce to a boil on medium-high heat then reduce heat to simmer.
13. Optional step mix your pasta into the sauce. You can just top with sauce as well.
14. Top the vegan beef stroganoff with your favorite garnish. (I did parsley, vegan parm, and chilli flakes.)

It may seem like a lot of steps but most of it is just adding it to the pan and letting it cook and stir.

Kitchen Equipment I used for recipe:

• Cheap Cast Iron I only use for the oven – Okay this may sound weird but I have 2 cast irons and I use them for different things. This one isn't great but it's cheap so I don't mind beating it up a bit. I only use this one for pictures and when I have to put recipes in the oven lol
• Slightly more expensive more functional cast iron – okay this isn't a true cast iron because it's nonstick but it's heavy-duty and cooks great!
• Aesthetically pleasing teal spoon set - a lot of people recently have been asking about my spoon set and I feel like a fraud because everyone thinks it's some expensive set but it's super inexpensive and they look amazing!

Nutrition Facts

The nutrition information presented here is for all of the ingredients. I take all of the nutritional information from Cronometer a nutritional tracker website that provides you with a lot of great information, especially regarding micronutrients!

Let us talk nutrition friends.

So again as we've come to realize I am absolutely garbage at portioning these meals out. I eat this in about two meals so I figure that means it makes about 5 normal people meals. So I did the nutrition facts and portioned the recipe into 5. If I'm off on my sizes somebody please let me know, I can't figure it out.

"bUt VeGoOnS cAn'T gEt b12!!!" talk to my vegan beef stroganoff recipe lol

Seriously in 1 serving of this recipe there 440% of your daily b12. There are a ton of benefits to boosting your b12 and it's one of the vitamins that basically regulates your body. According to some researchers, up to 40% of the US population is deficient in b12 not just vegans. So it's never a bad thing when you can top it up in a recipe.

This recipe is high in all the 'b' vitamins actually with, 271%, 192%, 83%, and 112% of the other 'b' vitamins.

Most notably however is the fact that one serving of this recipe constitutes 72% of your daily iron intake. Another often elusive mineral that many people (not just vegans) struggle to get in their diet. Iron helps your body in transporting oxygen through red blood cells throughout the body. Without enough iron, the body can't make enough oxygen-carrying cells making it harder to circulate blood throughout the body.

Also almost 30 g of protein per serving which is a significant amount for most people. If you got 30 g of protein at each meal for three meals in a day that would be 90 g of protein. Significantly more than what most people require. Obviously, some people require more (I'm literally one of those people) but I also eat bigger meals enabling me to get more protein in.

I'm tired, I have to work in the morning again. That is all for now folks.
