Beef stroganoff but without mushrooms - what would you use instead??

Stupidly included Beef Stroganoff in my trial Simply Cook recipe box but remembered no one apart from me likes bloody mushrooms. If I make it with just beef it will be hugely expensive so need to pad it out with something else!! I'm mostly low carb so don't want to use potatoes - any other ideas that might go?? I haven't had a stroganoff for ages (now I remember why!) so can't really think of what flavours would match.

Red or green pepper? I make a chicken one without mushrooms if I’m feeling generous to DH who doesn’t like them. I tend to go heavy on the shallots.

Onions and peppers

Finely sliced celery

Sweet corn, carrots, butternut squash, butterbeans, celery, potato, anything really.

Aubergine?

Whole shallots

I can't eat mushrooms or onions, so I use carrots and chopped green beans, and sometimes add in peppers (both capsicum and jalapeno) and tomatoes & black olives. Courgettes would work too.

Onions and red peppers here

You need quick-cooking things to go with the beef, so I'd use onions & peppers.
I'd also use mushrooms but just put them on my plate !

The mushrooms would add to the liquid so you might need to add more water/stock

Courgettes

Beans, kidney beans, butter beans, split peas or lentils

Chop the mushrooms big so you can pick them out!

Noooooo. They put their icky flavour all through the lovely sauce then!

Onions and peppers would be my choice too.
