This Keto Beef Stroganoff is an awesome gluten-free and low-carb 30 minute dinner! Serve it up with cauliflower rice or low-carb noodles for the perfect comfort food meal.

Who grew up eating Hamburger Helper Beef Stroganoff raise a hand 🖐 Us too! While we can’t say that the boxed dinner version of the recipe is our favorite, we do love this Keto Beef Stroganoff that’s made with fresh whole ingredients in just one pan in less than 30 minutes.

What is Beef Stroganoff?

Beef Stroganoff or Beef Stroganov is a Russian dish of sautéed pieces of beef in a sauce with smetana (smetana is a type of sour cream). It originated in the mid-19th-century in Russia and has become increasingly popular around the world. Recipes vary but this one is the closest to what we remember eating growing up, just ketofied 😉

Ingredients in this Keto Beef Stroganoff recipe

  • thinly sliced steak – we used beef tenderloin but you could use top sirloin, filet mignon, ribeye, or even ground beef for a ground beef stroganoff
  • extra-virgin olive oil – we LOVE Bragg
  • unsalted butter
  • yellow onion – any color will work if that’s what you have on hand
  • mushrooms – we used your typical cremini mushroom but we love wild shrooms too, you can use whatever type you like
  • garlic cloves – always fresh, never prepackaged garlic as it doesn’t have the right flavor to mimic fresh
  • sea salt
  • black pepper – freshly ground is preferable
  • beef broth – you can use vegetable broth or chicken broth if that’s what you have on hand
  • dijon mustard
  • Worcestershire sauce – most Worchestershire sauce is gluten-free, both Lea and Perrins which is arguably the most common household brand, but we use a love Annie’s
  • sour cream

How to make low carb beef stroganoff

  1. Heat a 10” (or larger) cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, followed by the beef in a single layer. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Cook until browned, about 1 minute on each side, then remove from the skillet and set aside. Cook beef in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
  3. Reduce heat to medium, add butter, mushrooms, and onion to the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in beef stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add in the dijon, Worcestershire sauce, and sour cream until smooth and creamy and sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes.
  5. Serve over a bed of cauliflower rice or with any noodle replacement of choice.

Pretty simple eh? We love this recipe and it’s always a hit.

How to make Beef Stroganoff dairy-free

Simple! Make the following swaps:

  • Use vegan butter in place of regular butter (we like Miyokos)
  • Use a vegan sour cream in place of regular (we like Forager)

How to store leftovers

We partial to these glass meal prep containers. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. We love eating leftovers cold but if you’d like to reheat simply heat back up in a skillet or in the microwave.

What to serve with this 30 minute one pan dinner

Beef Stroganoff is usually served with egg noodles. While delicious, they are neither gluten free or low carb. Here are a few options:

  • cauliflower rice
  • low carb pasta noodles
  • zucchini noodles
  • with steamed broccoli

Nutritional information

As always, you can find the full nutrition info breakdown including the carb count (total carbs and net carbs) at the bottom of the recipe card (listed per serving). You can find the serving size/yield at the top of the recipe card. You should always double-check your ingredients since different ingredients may have different values.

To get a specific serving size you’ll want to weigh the final dish. Next, divide the total weight by the number of servings. We can’t provide this information as your cooking style will vary from ours and your ingredients may be different brands than ours which can skew values.

    Thank you for this recipe – it was wonderfully aromatic and had great flavors combined. I used “stir fry beef strips” from Lidl which I believe would have been great had I not overcooked them! I didn’t pay attention to the “brown” only for about 1 minute each side, but I will next time (for I do plan to make it again, but probably with beef brisket). I do notice that you do not specifically state to add the meat back in to the pan, but I added after the sauce came together. I then served this by pairing it with and over top of plain cooked zoodles which was a great combination.

One of our favorite salsas has always been the taqueria-style jalapeño sauce that’s sometimes served with street-style tacos at your local Mexican restaurant.

If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠

The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠

With our neighborhood seeing multiple crimes from break-ins, a kidnapping, and carjackings in the past week, the heartbreaking situation in Ukraine, Texas's ambivalence towards human rights, and the ongoing pandemic, times are bleak. But there's also beauty and comfort. For us, beauty was found in a walk around our neighborhood admiring the blooming trees ready for spring (swipe for photos), and comfort found in nourishing meals that feed our bodies as well as our souls. If you missed our new recipe last week, we shared this vegetable soup from our cookbook. It's loaded with veggies and is super comforting to us, reminding us of the vegetable soup we ate as kids, maybe it will be comforting to you too. Our thoughts are with humanity as a whole, may we remember that we're all the same and we all deserve peace.
