Ground Beef Stroganoff
with baked sweet potato / balsamic green beans
Saucy, comforting beef stroganoff is a classic cool-weather dish but can take a long time to cook. We've made this version weeknight-friendly by using quick-cooking ground beef instead of the traditional cubed beef. This version is served over roasted sweet potato halves for a paleo-friendly twist. (A version of this recipe using cubed beef was featured in 2018.)

Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Brush the cut side of the potatoes with some cooking oil. Place potatoes cut-side down on a sheet pan. Transfer to oven and roast until potatoes are fork-tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
- After sweet potatoes have been roasting for a few minutes, toss green beans with cooking oil (portion for beans), vinegar, red pepper flakes, and some salt and pepper. Spread on a second sheet pan and roast, shaking pan halfway through cooking, until beans are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
- When sweet potatoes and green beans have been roasting for about 10 minutes, heat a large saute pan with oil (portion for stroganoff) over medium-high heat. Add beef and saute, breaking it apart, until nearly cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain off any excess oil and return beef to heat. Season with some salt and pepper.
- Stir garlic and sage into beef and continue cooking for 1 minute more.
- Add arrowroot powder, paprika, and coriander and stir into beef until no dry spots remain.
- Pour stock over beef, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer. Simmer until the sauce forms a thick gravy, 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and season with some more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Remove green beans from oven and squeeze lemon juice over top.
- Place sweet potato halves, cut-side up, on serving plates. Mash them slightly with a fork. Spoon beef over potatoes. Serve green beans on the side. Enjoy!
