Traditionally it was made with beef fillets, no onions, no mushrooms, and a bit of sour cream. Our grass-fed beef sirloin steak is an affordable choice that works just as well. You can also use any clean, lean cut, like an eye of round roast, cubed into small chunks. We like the onions and the mushrooms, and we’ve modified this recipe for our gluten free needs (cornstarch instead of the traditional wheat flour), and if you use grass fed organic creams and butters and replace the cornstarch with arrowroot powder, this is an awesome meal for folks following the Paleo diet or a Weston A. Price diet. You can serve it over potatoes or zucchini noodles.
