Instructions
For the Mashed Potatoes
- In a medium saucepan, cover potatoes with water. Bring to boil. Cook 10 minutes, or until potatoes can be easily pierced with fork.
- Drain water. Add in coconut milk, ghee, and salt.
- Mash to desired consistency, adding more coconut milk if needed. Transfer mashed potatoes to bowl.
For the Beef Stroganoff
- In a large skillet, brown ground beef, onion, and garlic. Try not to break up ground beef too much. Cook until no pink remains. Drain fat.
- Add sliced mushrooms. Cook 2-3 minutes. Stir in arrowroot. Cook 1 additional minute.
- Add broth, salt & pepper, and fish sauce (optional). Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer on low 10 minutes.
- Remove beef mixture from heat. Stir in coconut cream, lemon juice, and parsley.
- Serve atop mashed potatoes.
Notes
- Beef Broth: For a thicker gravy, use only 1 cup beef broth. For a thinner sauce, use 2 cups.
- Coconut Cream: In the beef stroganoff, you'll use only the solid, white cream from a can of full-fat coconut milk. The remaining coconut milk can be used in your mashed potatoes.
