Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion for a few mins, until soft. Add the garlic and paprika, and cook for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the pepper and mushrooms, and fry for 5-8 mins until softened.
  2. Add the vinegar, boil to reduce until almost evaporated, then pour over the stock and bubble for a few mins until thickened slightly. Add the beef and cook for 2-3 mins depending on how rare you like it, then stir in the fromage frais and season. Serve with rice or tagliatelle.

    This was actually disappointingly bland, I used smoked paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper and we still ended up adding tabasco when eating it to pep it up.

    I made the recipe with high hopes as I'm a huge fan of stroganoff and the idea of a healthy version was great. Sadly, the end result was disappointing. It didn't taste of much, and what the recipe fails to mention is that as soon as you add the fromage frais it splits - leaving you with a curdled stroganoff.

    This was very disappointing - like the reader above, the fromage frais split as soon as I mixed it in and left a watery sauce full of little white bits! It did taste nice but not one we'll be repeating!

    liked the taste but same thing as the others with the fromage frais, probably worth ruining the calorie and fat status by using cream!

    I fully agree with the other comments, I was excited to make this, it looked a beautiful colour on the picture, and sounded tasty, and the fact that it was healthy was a great added bonus. It came out a different colour (a bland colour) the sauce was very thin, i served it with rice and the rice immediatley soaked up the sauce, leaving us with a pile of mildly flavoured mushrooms and peppers on top of the rice. Dissapointing :(

    Yummy and so easy and healthy! It didn't quite look like the photo - it was darker - but quite delicious!

    Mine was quite a bit darker as well. Maybe it depends on the mushrooms you use. I used chestnut mushrooms which always lend a darker colour. After reading all the comments I decided to make an adjustment by using some philidelphia instead of the fromage frais - it didn't curdle but wasn't exactly low fat either. Served with nice buttery garlicy noodles.

    I used smoked paprika and low fat sour cream instead of fromage frais. Worked well but the sauce was far too runny. I'll make it without the beef stock next time. I don't think it needs it.

    We love this stroganoff. I use 0% greek yoghurt and it hasn't split yet (fingers crossed - having it again tonight!!). I always use sirloin steak and have used sweet and hot paprika and both have worked well. Yumm!

    Also, I always use chestnut mushrooms - they are not at all bland and give it a lovely colour.

    I used chestnut mushrooms as they were on offer but couldn't get fromage frais so used double cream instead which although high fat, worked brilliantly. Regarding the comments about it being too watery, you must boil until the stock reduces and thickens. Served with pasta.

    The sauce was very thin despite reducing the stock for quite some time, and the sauce split completely on adding the fromage frais. A watery, lumpy mixture was the result and a very bland one at that.

    I found this a really easy recipe to follow but discovered that like many others, the fromage frais curdled. On a general note is was a really bland dish which surprised me as it smelt really appetizing. I will make it again but think i'll modify it with spices to make it more tasty and perhaps try greek yogurt or cream for a treat.

    I was really surprised when I read the reviews for this on the website - I made it from the magazine when it came out and it was DEELISIOUS! I had to check that it was the same one!! I followed the recipe as stated and it was a good generoius 2 size portion (just what we like). With regard to creme fraiche - if you take the pan off the heat and leave it to cool for just a minute or so it doesn't curdle. I used half fat and it was fine. You also need to make sure you give the vinegar time to evaporate before adding the stock. Cook in an open pan - frying pan is ideal and let the stock reduce down for five minutes or so. The only change i made was to add the peppers later as i like them crunchy. Excellent reciepe will definitely make this again.

    Really easy and yummy but didn't need as much stock and used creme fraiche instead of fromage frais. Definitely a good quick supper!

    Didn't really think you could go wrong with stroganoff but this recipe had a couple of different ingredients so followed it.Will stick to my own version in future.

    Very nice - but I did use a low fat cream and griddled strips of rib eye steak. Not quite so healthy but tasted very good
