Keto Beef Stroganoff Recipe (Creamy Low Carb Dinner)
Keto beef stroganoff is a creamy low carb dinner made with tender beef, mushrooms, and sour cream.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil divided
- 1 pound beef for stew or chuck roast cut into bite-sized pieces, or thinly sliced steak
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup diced onion white or yellow
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cups beef broth stock, or bone broth
- ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
- ½ cup sour cream
Instructions
Sear the beef
- Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil shimmers, add half of the beef so the pan does not overcrowd. Season with salt and pepper and sear until browned on all sides, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and repeat with the remaining beef. Set aside.
Cook the vegetables
- Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, diced onion, garlic, and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms soften.
Build the sauce
- Stir in Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and beef broth. Add the seared beef and any juices back into the pot.
Slow simmer method
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
Fast method
- If using thin steak slices, cook the sauce first, thicken it, and then return the steak to the pot shortly before serving.
Thicken the sauce
- Mix the remaining ½ tablespoon oil with xanthan gum in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the pot and simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Temper the sour cream
- In a bowl, mix sour cream with about ½ cup of hot broth from the pot. Stir well, then add it to the stroganoff. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the creamy keto beef stroganoff immediately.
Notes
Serve over cauliflower rice for a classic stroganoff experience without the carbs.
