Dairy and cow-free Stroganoff

So today I started off with sauteing mushrooms in vegan garlic butter, then I blended silken tofu with the seasonings that I listed below, added that to the sauteed mushrooms, cooked that together for a bit.

Then I added beyond tri-tip to the mixture and let that cook together while I boiled the noodles. I know most people use egg noodles for stroganoff, but my people don't do eggs. -hence the bowtie pasta. Cooked that all together and now I have a dairy-free meat-free yummy stroganoff!

To make vegan stroganoff seasoning, you'll need to combine a few key ingredients that give it that classic stroganoff flavor. Here's a recipe for a homemade vegan stroganoff seasoning mix:

Seasoning Ingredients:

- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a smoky flavor)

The nutritional yeast adds a cheesy, umami flavor along with b vitamins and protein, while the combination of onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika gives it that classic stroganoff taste. The thyme and dill add a bit of herbal depth, and the ground mustard gives it a slight tang.
