Keto Beef Stroganoff

Is there anything better than a warm, savory dish at the end of a long day? If you love comforting meals but want to keep it healthy, then my Keto Beef Stroganoff is perfect for you. This recipe combines tender beef, rich flavors, and creamy sauce, all while keeping those carbs in check. Trust me, in just a few steps, you’ll create a dish that feels indulgent but is perfectly aligned with your keto lifestyle.

So, why should you give this keto version of the classic Beef Stroganoff a try? First off, it’s incredibly satisfying and brings together a delightful blend of flavors. Traditionally, stroganoff is made with heavy cream and pasta, but this keto-friendly version uses cauliflower rice or even zucchini noodles, making it both light and nutritious. Plus, it’s quick to prepare, making it a great choice for busy weeknights or cozy weekends.

Ingredients

To whip up this delicious Keto Beef Stroganoff, gather the following ingredients that’ll easily serve about six hungry folks:

• 2 pounds beef sirloin, sliced thinly (you could also use ground beef if you prefer)
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced (cremini or button mushrooms work great)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream (or a dairy-free alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Step 1:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic, cooking until translucent. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 2:

Toss in the sliced beef, seasoning with salt and pepper. Sear the beef until it’s browned on all sides, which will take about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3:

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes until they’re tender and fragrant.

Step 4:

Pour in the broth and Worcestershire sauce, then bring it to a simmer. Let this cook down for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.

Step 5:

Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. This will make that luscious, creamy sauce we all love.

Step 6:

Serve it over cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for that keto twist. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
