Our healthy steak and caper stroganoff recipe is only 350 calories per serving. We’ve used half-fat crème fraîche and stretched two sirloin steaks to feed four people for a thrifty and good-for-you midweek meal.
Want to try something veggie instead? How about our mushroom stroganoff with creamy polenta.

Method
- Heat a little of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Sear the steaks for 1 minute on each side, then set aside. Add the rest of the oil to the pan and fry the mushrooms until golden, then set aside with the steaks.
- Turn the heat down slightly, add the onion, then cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Stir in the garlic, cook for 1 minute, then pour in the stock. Stir again, then bring to the boil, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any stuck-on flavour.
- Stir in the crème fraîche, sliced greens and the capers, then cook for 1 minute. Slice the steaks, remove any fat/sinew (discard), then add to the pan. Season to taste and cook for another 2 minutes to heat the meat through. Sprinkle over the fresh herbs and serve with hot rice or potatoes, if you like.
