Ingredients
Beef and Sauce
- 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz (225g) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
- Zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the thinly sliced beef sirloin and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until they release their moisture and turn golden brown, roughly 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to lift any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add Cream and Flavorings: Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all ingredients into a creamy sauce.
- Return Beef & Thicken Sauce: Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Allow the stroganoff to simmer together for an additional 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly and the beef is heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the keto beef stroganoff over prepared zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- You can omit Worcestershire sauce to keep it strictly keto and adjust seasoning accordingly.
- Use fresh mushrooms for best flavor; cremini or white button mushrooms work well.
- For a lower-fat version, substitute half of the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk, though it may alter the flavor slightly.
- Zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice are excellent low-carb alternatives to traditional pasta or rice.
- Ensure the skillet is hot enough when browning the beef for a good sear and flavor development.
