Ingredients You’ll Need

1 lb beef sirloin or tenderloin, sliced into thin strips

2 cups mushrooms, sliced

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup beef broth

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup sour cream

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make the Keto Beef Stroganoff

Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have everything prepped. Slice the beef into thin strips, chop the onions, mince the garlic, and slice the mushrooms.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and a tablespoon of butter.

Once the butter has melted, add the beef strips. Cook until browned on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of butter. Toss in the onions and cook until they're soft and translucent.

Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the mushrooms and cook until they're tender and have released their juices.

Step 4: Make the Sauce

Pour in the beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.

Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Return the beef to the skillet and stir everything together. Let it cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles, or enjoy it as is.

Tips for The Perfect Keto Beef Stroganoff

Adjust Seasoning

Taste as you go and adjust the salt, pepper, and other seasonings to your preference.

Use the Right Cut of Beef

Tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye work best. They cook quickly and remain juicy.

Don't Overcrowd the Pan

When browning the beef, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This ensures a good sear on the meat.

Adjust the Sauce Consistency

If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer a bit longer. If it gets too thick, you can always add a splash of beef broth to thin it out.

Variations to Try

Add Vegetables

If you want to add more veggies, consider tossing in some spinach or zucchini. Just be mindful of the carb count.

Swap the Beef

Not a fan of beef? This recipe works well with chicken or pork, too.

Dairy-Free Option

You can use coconut cream instead of heavy and sour cream for a dairy-free version. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

Spice It Up

If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce.
