Ingredients

Beef

  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, sliced into strips

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Liquids & Sauces

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Seasonings & Garnish

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef sirloin strips and cook until they are nicely browned on all sides. Once browned, remove the beef from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens and becomes translucent. Then add the sliced mushrooms and continue cooking until they release their moisture and become tender.
  3. Simmer with Broth and Worcestershire Sauce: Pour the beef broth and optional Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
  4. Incorporate Sour Cream and Beef: Lower the heat to a gentle warmth and stir in the sour cream thoroughly, ensuring it’s fully blended to create a creamy sauce. Return the browned beef to the skillet, stirring everything together, and heat through carefully without boiling to prevent the sour cream from curdling.
  5. Season and Garnish: Taste the stroganoff and season with salt and pepper to your preference. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a bright, fresh finish.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the beef broth slightly before adding sour cream.
  • Use full-fat sour cream to keep the sauce creamy and keto-friendly.
  • Worcestershire sauce is optional but adds a nice depth of flavor.
  • Ensure the heat is low when adding sour cream to prevent curdling.
  • This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a complete keto meal.
