Because it's as delicious and meaty as any other recipe, you won't believe that this one-pot stroganoff was made with Impossible Beef Made From Plants. Impossible
Foods is my partner in this easy recipe.
To show you how to make this one-pot stroganoff, I uploaded a short how-to video to my YouTube channel. It's available below.
The Impossible
beef cooks and sears exactly like beef from cows. It's amazing how the ingenuity of this recipe doesn't compromise texture or flavor. This one-pot stroganoff recipe has two types of mushrooms and some seasonings and herbs. This dish is entirely plant-based because I use ruffled durum wheat pasta instead of egg noodles--traditionally in stroganoff. You can also add plant-based butter and sour cream, but it will still be rich and creamy. It will be difficult to resist eating the entire pot! It can also be reheated easily if you have leftovers. My serving was heated in the microwave for about 2 to 3 seconds.
You can bookmark this recipe or print it out from the below recipe card. This recipe is ready for you next time you need a quick, filling, and easy meal. Search here to find Impossible items near you. It is usually found in the meat section at grocery stores.

One Pot Impossible
Stroganoff
Ingredients
- 4 C hot water
- 2 1/2 tsp Vegan Beef-Flavored Bouillon Paste (or 2 to3 cubes ) The amount of each brand will vary
- 1 tbsp neutral vegetable oil
- 1 pkg Impossible Beef, Cubed
- Sea salt and ground pepper to taste
- 1/4 C salted plant butter, divided
- 1 medium-sized yellow onion, sliced
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, quartered
- 5 oz sliced shiitakes
- 1 chopped fresh thyme
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 10 oz ruffled Wheat Pasta (giglia or campanelle).
- 3/4 C plant-based sour cream or plain yogurt
- 1/2 C fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
- Fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Mix hot water and bouillon paste/cubes. Set aside.
-
Add 1 tablespoon of neutral vegetable oil to a large skillet or dutch oven on medium heat. Make Impossible Beef Made from Plants into cubes or chunks and then place them in the hot skillet. Season the meat with sea salt and ground pepper. Brown the meat for about 3-4 minutes, then turn it over and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes. Once the Impossible Beefbpieces are cooked, transfer them to a separate dish and set aside.
-
Keep the skillet on medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and the sliced onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become softened (about 4 to 5 minutes). Cook the cremini mushrooms, shiitakes and remaining butter until the mushrooms are translucent and starting to crisp. Cook for approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Mix all ingredients together. Stir to combine. Cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 8-9 minutes, or until pasta is al dente.
-
Reduce heat to a simmer, and then stir in the sour cream until combined. Stir in the Impossible beef pieces and mix well. Garnish immediately with freshly ground black pepper and additional parsley.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are some tips to make the transition from a plant-based diet to one?
The transition to a plantbased diet can seem intimidating but can lead to an exciting lifestyle change. These are some tips to help you transition to this type diet:
- For adequate macronutrients and vitamins, it is important to structure meals around whole foods, rather than processed products.
- We are committed to creating delicious, healthy meals that appeal to everyone.
- A support network of friends, family, or health professionals.
- Trying new recipes to add excitement while eating well.
- Change your lifestyle gradually while still paying attention to your nutritional intake.
These tips can help individuals to transition slowly to a plant based diet.
What are some good sources of protein for a plant-based diet.
The following are great sources for protein from a plant-based food diet: legumes such chickpeas, beans, and chickpeas. Also, soy products such as tofu, tempeh, and grains like quinoa, teff, nuts like almonds, walnuts and cashews. Seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower, and green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and broccoli. Many of these plant proteins also contain fiber. Flaxseeds and chia seeds, walnuts and hemp seeds all contain omega-3 fatty acid which can balance the nutrient intake of a plant-based diet.
Is it necessary that you take supplements when eating a plant-based meal?
A balanced diet of plants can provide all the necessary nutrients to maintain good health. However certain micronutrients need to be supplemented to ensure they are not missing. Vitamin B12 is critical for the health of the brain and nervous systems. Although it is only available from animals, supplemental forms may be beneficial to vegans or vegetarians. Additionally, many foods on a plant-based diet lack enough iron and zinc, two minerals important for healthy metabolism, red blood cell production, tissue growth, and repair. Omega 3 fatty acids also play an essential role in normal body processes, such as controlling inflammation and proper brain function. Most plant-based food sources do not contain omega-3s due to their biochemical properties: supplementation may help ensure a delicate balance of this vital nutrient. Last but not least, calcium is vital for maintaining strong bones. It can also be found in limited quantities through vegetables like broccoli and kale. You may want to supplement your diet if you have difficulty meeting your daily calcium requirements. It is always a good idea for you to check with your doctor before adding new supplements.
Is it possible for a plant-based diet to help you lose weight?
Yes, eating a plant based diet can help you lose weight. You can eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, whole grain, and other plant-based protein sources to provide enough volume without having to eat unhealthy fats or carbs. A well-rounded vegan meal plan is usually low in saturated fat and cholesterol-containing foods like red meat and processed snacks that tend to add weight instead of take it away. Research also shows that following a plant based diet may increase metabolism and lower the risk factors for obesity like inflammation. Eating healthy foods rich in fiber and avoiding starches, sugars, white bread, and pasta can further help weight loss and provide essential vitamins and minerals that the body needs to be healthy.

How To
How to manage social situations on a plant-based diet
The transition to a plantbased diet will require you to adapt to social situations. To ensure you can stick to your chosen dietary lifestyle while still having enjoyable meals, take proactive steps before dining out. Check the menu options before you go. Some restaurants are more accommodating to vegetarians than others. Vegetarians can choose from Indian or Japanese cuisines.
If the venue of choice is suitable for vegans, kick-off conversation with friends and family about your preferred food items; this will minimize ordering mistakes at the restaurant eliminating awkward explanations or misunderstandings about your dietary restrictions. When creating vegan dishes, trust the chef's judgement. Chat with them if necessary to ensure they are fully understanding your needs.
When attending events or parties where not everyone is familiar with vegan diets, be sure to fill up beforehand on nutritious snacks or drinks available without animal products - any contribution goes a long way! Even the smallest gestures in regards to veganism will be appreciated by your non-vegan friends.
Navigating social situations while sticking to a vegan diet may seem challenging initially. It will become second nature over time. Start small and believe in yourself.
