- In the same pan, cook onion, garlic, and mushrooms then stir in sauce ingredients.
- Return beef to skillet and heat through, then add sour cream.
Pro Tips to Perfect Stroganoff
- Be sure to only brown the beef in Step 1, it will continue to cook in the sauce in Step 4, otherwise it will overcook and become tough.
- For thicker cuts of beef – or tough meat – use a meat mallet to break the tough fibers and also to make the strips are of equal thickness.
- Be sure to slice meat across the grain.
Store It Right, Savor It Later
Keep leftover keto beef stroganoff with the sauce in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheat portions on the stovetop with a little milk or sour cream stirred in to loosen the sauce.
Freezing stroganoff sauce isn’t recommended since dairy thaws out grainy. Although you can prepare the dish ahead and freeze it without the sour cream, just add it after it’s thawed and ready to be reheated.
