Ingredients
- Mushrooms, Onions, Garlic, and Italian seasoning: are all zero point foods that add tons of flavor to this dish.
- Beef Stew Meat: If you want to save on points this recipe is delicious meatless (double up on those mushrooms!), or you can substitute with chicken to make chicken stroganoff. People have used ground turkey and ground beef as well.
- Brown Rice Flour: Used to thicken your gravy. You can use wheat flour or cornstarch too.
- Low sodium soy sauce: You can also use coconut aminos to save on sodium and ingredients or low sodium tamari, which is also gluten free. Confused about what the difference is?
- Worcestershire Sauce: Just adding a couple shakes will add wonderful flavor to your gravy.
- Beef Broth: Salted and low-sodium are the same point wise, but I would opt for the low sodium variety.
- Whole Wheat Egg Noodles: Using whole wheat egg noodles saves you 1 point per serving.
- Greek Yogurt: Make sure to use fat-free unflavored Greek yogurt! Using yogurt instead of sour cream or cream of mushroom soup saves calories and saturated fat.
Recipe Tips
- Start with a small amount of flour and add more as needed to thicken your gravy.
- If you’d looking for a time saver, buy your mushrooms pre-sliced. They are available right next to the whole ones.
- Stew meat is usually very large chunks. I prefer to cut into bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly and quickly.
- Slice all vegetables to the same thickness to promote even cooking.
- Add salt and black pepper to your taste.
How to Make Weight Watchers Beef Stroganoff:
Instant Pot Instructions:
Time needed: 38 minutes
- Slice the onion and mushrooms
Slice these at the same thickness to promote even cooking.
- Turn the Instant Pot on to sauté
Lightly spray the inside of the pot with cooking spray.
- Cut the stew meat
Stew meat often comes in very large pieces. To help it cook faster I like to cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Sauté the garlic, onions, mushrooms, and beef
When the Instant Pot is hot, add the beef, garlic, onions, Italian seasoning, and mushrooms. Sauté for 3-5 minutes.
- Mix in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and broth
- Pressure Cook
Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
- Add your noodles
When the time is up, quick release the pressure, remove the lid, and stir in your noodles. Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to sealing again and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
- Quick Release
When the cook time is complete, quick release your pressure and remove the lid.
- Thicken your sauce
Remove ½ c of the liquid from inside of the pot and mix in 1 tablespoon of flour to make a slurry. Set the Instant Pot to sauté mode, and when the liquid comes to a boil, slowly add in your slurry. Stir until it thickens (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat. The gravy will thicken further as it cools.
- Stir in Greek yogurt
If desired, add salt and pepper along with your yogurt. Serve warm, or place in serving size containers for meal prep.
Crockpot Instructions
- Slice your onions and mushrooms. Try to cut the slices at the same thickness so they cook the same.
- Cut your stew meat in half, and then in half again. Top with Italian seasoning, and 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss to evenly coat the beef.
- Lightly spray your skillet and sauté the garlic, onions, mushrooms, and beef for 3-5 minutes.

Stove Top Instructions
- Slice your onion and mushrooms. Try to keep slices the same size so that they all cook the same.
- Cut your stew meat into bite-sized pieces. Top with Italian seasoning. Toss to evenly coat the beef.
- Turn burned onto medium-high and lightly spray your skillet (or use a large nonstick skillet). Sauté garlic, onions, mushrooms, and meat mixture for 3-5 minutes.
- Add in soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth and noodles.
- Reduce heat to medium–low and cook on medium – low for 15-20 minutes until the noodles are soft.
- After the cook time is complete, reduce heat and stir ½ c of the liquid from the pot and mix in 1 tablespoon of flour to make a slurry. Set your stove to medium/high heat, when the liquid comes to a boil add in your slurry. Stir until it thickens (about 3 minutes). Remove from heat. The gravy will thicken as it cools.

OH my – how did you know this is exactly what I feel like eating tonight! Already making the grocery list!
Score!! I can’t wait to hear how you like it!
This looks amazing!! Can’t wait to try it!
I hope you love it!
Has anyone tried this with coconut cream instead of greek yogurt to make it dairy free?
I have and it was yummy! I’ve also left the dairy out and I like that too.
How do you keep the yogurt from curdling? I followed the recipe but I have little white chunks of yogurt everywhere. Plus I felt I had to add cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
I’d wait for the recipe to cool a bit before adding the yogurt, and it’ll take a few minutes to thicken, but the age of your cornstarch could cause it to take longer :)
Do you know how many points it would be without the noodles? This is my second time making it, and we love it, just want to serve it over rice.
Thank you!
Hi Sharon! No, I haven’t calculated it without the noodles–you’d have to do it in the ww calculator :)
So delicious! Followed the recipe with 2 substitutions (just cause that’s what I had in the pantry)
Substituted cornstarch for the rice flour and regular eggs noodles. Next time I will make it with the healthier options. It’s a winner in our house!! Thank you!!
The flavor was amazing! I will be cooking this again
The taste was great but the meat was tough! Think I’d do this with a different meat next time.
This was delicious!!
