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.

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.
