Keto Beef Stroganoff 

Ingredients you need:

• 1 T coconut oil, canola or olive oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 2 minced garlic clove
• 1/2 lb+ sliced mushrooms
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
• 1 lb shaved beef or stir fry meat (ground beef adaption listed below)
• 3/4 c canned coconut milk (this is NOT coconut beverage, but unsweetened coconut milk). 
• Garnish- cilantro (optional)

Easy Beef Stroganoff Recipe Steps

Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add the coconut oil (or you can use canola, olive oil or ghee) and let melt. 

Saute 1 thinly sliced onion for 5 minutes. They won’t be all the way cooked but will finish cooking with the beef and mushroom mixture later on. Sometimes we’ll use red onions and other times it’d be a sweet onion. I love to cook with sweet onions since they don’t bother my eyes as much as regular white onions do.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook about 3-5 mins, until the mushrooms are starting to soften.

Stir in the salt, pepper and dijon mustard until evenly distributed. 

Turn up the heat to medium high and add the shaved beef to the same pan as the vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes until the meat is cooked through. 

NOTE: If you’re substituting ground beef for the shaved beef/stir fry meat and making ground beef stroganoff, you’ll want to cook the ground beef in a separate pan before this step. Drain the grease and then add it to this easy beef stroganoff recipe at this point.

Turn down the heat to medium low and add 1 c coconut milk to the beef and vegetable mixture. Regular canned unsweetened coconut milk works best, you can substitute the light coconut milk but the sauce might less thick.

I always use the hard coconut cream at the top of the can of coconut milk. If there’s less than 1 cup of the cream in the can then just add the coconut milk liquid to the hardened cream.

Simmer 2-3 more minutes until all of the ingredients are heated through.

The coconut milk mixed with the beef juice and liquid from the broken down mushrooms is what makes this paleo beef stroganoff gravy so delicious!

Serve the easy beef stroganoff immediately and enjoy!

We served this low carb and paleo beef stroganoff with cauliflower rice, but it could also get served with regular rice, egg noodles, rice noodles or gnocchi, depending on your dietary preferences.

Whether you just want healthy winter dinner ideas for cozy nights in or are looking for a keto beef stroganoff, gluten free, dairy free or a paleo beef stroganoff, you’ll ABSOLUTELY love this 20 minute recipe!
