    Ingredients:​

    • Unsalted butter
    • Ground beef, 85% lean
    • Shallot or onion
    • Smoked paprika
    • Garlic powder (could sub with 3-4 cloves fresh garlic)
    • Oregano
    • Fresh thyme, or dried thyme
    • Mushrooms
    • Water
    • Worcestershire sauce
    • Brandy (optional, for depth of flavor)
    • Sour cream
    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Let's Make This Low Carb Beef Stroganoff! ​


    Start by prepping your ingredients. Dice your shallot/onion, measure and set aside your seasonings, and slice your mushrooms into thin strips, then set aside.

    Preheat your skillet, add in 1 tablespoon of the butter and brown your beef. Season liberally with salt and pepper. When the beef is browned, remove from the skillet and set aside.

    In the same skillet, add in the rest of the butter and melt, then add in your shallots and cook for a few minutes until translucent.

    Next, add in your dried seasonings and fresh thyme (if you have fresh). Stir and toast for about 1 minute.

    Add in your mushrooms, and cook for a few minutes until softened. Then, add in ½ of  your water, then your Worcestershire sauce and brandy. Bring mixture to a boil and let it boil for about 2 minutes, to cook off the alcohol.

    Next, add back in your ground beef, and the rest of the water. Basically just let this simmer on the stove for 15-20 minutes. You can simmer longer if you want, so the flavors have more time to develop and the meat gets nice and tender. Just serve this Keto Beef Stroganoff and enjoy!

    Recipe Notes:

    This Keto Beef Stroganoff Recipe was inspired by my mother's beef stroganoff recipe growing up! I think all of our mother's had them, right?! Feel free to adjust seasonings as you see fit. We'd also be super interested to hear about any other ingredients you know are in your family recipe!

    Seasoning: When you aren't making another trip to the grocery store, just use dried spices and herbs, they will work just fine!

    Brandy: An optional ingredient that will give your stroganoff a great depth of flavor. Not necessary tho.

    Serve With: If you’re on a keto diet like we follow most of the time, we think cauliflower rice makes a great base, as opposed to rice. We also used to eat this dish with egg noodles, but we haven't found or made a good low carb replacement for those yet!
