Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff over Cauliflower Rice with a Roasted Sweet Potato

This past weekend was super busy for me, so I ended up ordering 5 meals from Power Supply again. If you read my last post, I mentioned that when I don't have time to meal prep I will order 5 meals from Power Supply and then cook a really simple meal to get one more meal prepped for the week. This week I chose a crockpot recipe with the intention of having it cook all day on Sunday, but that unfortunately did not happen. I ended up having a couple of hours to cook, so I followed the directions below, but cooked this on the stove top on medium heat and covered the pan. Once the beef was cooked, I removed the meat from the pan and boiled the sauce until it began to thicken. Once it started to thicken, I combined the arrowroot powder and water in a small bowl, then added it to the sauce. My sauce definitely turned out too thick after this, but the beef still tasted amazing. Next time I will just make sure I throw everything in the crockpot like the recipe calls for. Either way though, this was a yummy stroganoff recipe worth trying!

​Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff 
Ingredients:

• 1.5 lbs lean stew beef (I used Chuck Tender Steak - I just wasn't feeling lean stew beef)
• ½ large white onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 10 oz sliced mushrooms
• 1¼ cup beef broth (I used half of this)
• ¼ cup coconut aminos (I use Bragg Liquid Aminos) 
• ¼ cup red wine vinegar
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ cup canned coconut milk (I only used about 3 tbsp of the thick part)
• 3 tbsp arrowroot starch (I used 2 tbsp)
• 2 tbsp water (I used 1 tbsp)

Directions:

1. Place beef inside your slow cooker, and top with onions, mushrooms, and garlic.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together broth, soy sauce, vinegar, onion powder, and garlic powder. Pour on top of beef and vegetables.
3. Set your slow cooker to low and cook for 5 hours.
4. At the five hour mark, add coconut cream.
5. In a separate small bowl, mix together arrowroot starch and water. Add to slow cooker.
6. Let simmer for another 30 mins - 1 hour or until sauce is thickened and beef is tender.
7. Serve over cauliflower rice.
