What's in a typical serving

Strips of beef and mushrooms in a creamy sour cream sauce, served over tender pasta.

  • 150g Beef Strips
  • 100g Mushrooms
  • 3 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 100g Cooked Pasta
  • Onion, Mustard

How to make it

  1. Boil the pasta in salted water until tender to get about 100 g cooked, then drain.
  2. Sear 150 g of beef strips in a hot non-stick pan for 2–3 minutes until browned, then set aside.
  3. Cook the sliced onion and 100 g of sliced mushrooms in the same pan for 5–6 minutes until the mushrooms release their liquid and soften.
  4. Return the beef, stir in the mustard and a splash of water and simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Take the pan off the heat, stir in 3 tbsp of sour cream, season with salt and pepper and serve over the pasta.

How to make it lighter

  1. Stir in part yogurt instead of all sour cream, adding it off the heat so it does not split.
  2. Use lean beef such as sirloin and cook it in a measured spoon of oil rather than a large knob of butter.
  3. Serve it over a smaller pasta portion with extra mushrooms, or alongside steamed green vegetables.

How we calculated these values

  • Calories and macros are Sporty catalog estimates for one typical serving, calculated from USDA FoodData Central values for the listed ingredient amounts.
  • The serving weight (390 g) is estimated from those ingredients; the per-100 g values and the portion calculator are worked out from it.
  • Walking times use the Compendium of Physical Activities: 3.5 MET for comfortable and 4.8 MET for brisk walking, for a 70 kg adult (kcal per minute = MET × 3.5 × kg ÷ 200).
  • Vitamins, minerals and allergens are estimated from the same ingredients with USDA FoodData Central values; % DV uses the US FDA daily values.
  • Diet labels come from the ingredients. Real values change with the recipe, the amount of oil and the portion, so treat every number as an estimate.
