Keto Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish that's been adapted for a low-carb diet. It has tender strips of beef cooked in a rich, creamy sauce, and it's usually served over noodles or rice. But for a keto-friendly twist, we swap out those high-carb options for cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles.

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup heavy cream

Common Mistakes:
Using high-carb ingredients: Avoid using traditional flour or cornstarch as thickeners. Opt for alternatives like almond flour or xanthan gum.
Overcooking the beef: Beef should be cooked to medium-rare for the best flavor and tenderness.
Not using the right cream: Use heavy cream for a richer and creamier sauce.
Overloading on mushrooms: While mushrooms add a great flavor, excessive amounts can add unnecessary carbs.
Tips:
Prep ahead: Marinate the beef in a mixture of Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and spices for added flavor.
Brown the beef thoroughly: Browning the beef before adding it to the sauce helps develop a richer flavor.
Use a low-carb sweetener: If you prefer a slightly sweet taste, use a low-carb sweetener like erythritol or stevia.
Serve with a side salad: Pair your Keto Beef Stroganoff with a side salad to add more vegetables and balance the meal.
