Keto Beef Stroganoff

Stroganoff usually is delicious – but full of cream! However, using coconut cream adds a smooth texture to the sauce. This lets you enjoy a mischievous dish more healthily.
This is traditionally a warming and slightly spicy food, and this keto stroganoff recipe won’t let you down. Resting the beef for a few minutes enables the meat to be tender and juicy.
Serve with zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles for a full ketogenic meal.
Ingredients
- 2 7-oz (392 g) packs of shirataki noodles, fettuccine
- 2 beef steaks (400 g)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) of coconut oil
- 1 medium onion (110 g), peeled and finely sliced
- 2 garlic cloves (6 g), peeled and finely chopped
- 11 white button mushrooms (110 g), sliced
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of gluten-free tamari sauce or coconut aminos
- 1 cup (240 ml) of beef broth
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) of Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) of coconut cream (from the top of a can of coconut milk)
- 1/4 cup (4 g) of fresh parsley, finely chopped
Preparation
- Keep a pot of water simmering on the stove. Rinse the shirataki noodles under cold water, then keep warm in the pot.
- Pat the steaks dry and season all sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Heat two tablespoons of coconut oil in a large pan and cook the steaks until browned on both sides. Remove the steaks from the pan and set aside to rest.
- In the same pan, add another tablespoon of coconut oil and the onions. Cook over moderate heat until the onions have softened. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms have caramelized.
- Pour the tamari and beef broth into the pan. Lower the heat and cook until the beef broth reduces to a quarter of the amount. Then stir in the mustard and coconut cream to thicken the sauce.
- Slice the steaks into strips and add to the mixture to warm through.
- Drain the shirataki noodles and divide between two bowls. Spoon over the beef strips and sauce. Top with chopped parsley.

Perfect Sirloin Beef Roast

If you are a fan of roast beef, then this keto beef recipe is just for you!
To ensure you have plenty of leftovers for the next day, buy a bigger roast than you need. And slice the roast beef thinly when cold and save it in the fridge to keep.
The spice mix used in this recipe is excellent since roast beef absorbs the tastes as it cooks. This gives you a fabulous roast dinner or spiced meat for another time.
Ingredients
- 1 beef sirloin roast, about 3kg or 6.5lb
- 1 large onion, peel on, quartered
- 2 celery ribs, each cut in half
- 2 large carrots, peel on, each cut in half both crosswise and lengthwise
- 4-5 garlic cloves, skin on, smashed with the side of a knife
- 1/2 cup water
For the spice mix
- 3 tbsp dried onion flakes
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds
- 1 tbsp Himalayan salt
- 1 tbsp black peppercorns
- 1½ tsp chili pepper flakes
Preparation
- The day before you cook your roast, grind all the spices in a mortar or a coffee grinder.
- Trim off excess visible fat from the meat and rub this spice mix on all roast surfaces.
- Cover the roast tightly with several layers of plastic film and place it in the refrigerator to rest until the next day. It would be a good idea to put your roast in a rimmed plate or dish to collect any eventual leakage.
- When you are ready to cook your roast, remove it from the fridge and plastic wrap, and tie it up nice and tight with butcher’s twine if it isn’t already tied.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Place the onion, celery, carrot, garlic, and water in a large baking dish and place the roast over the veggies. This will allow air to circulate all around your roast and significantly contribute to keeping it moist while also infusing some flavors.
- Bake the roast uncovered for about 15 minutes per pound or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast reads 115°F – 125°F.
- Turn your oven off and lightly tent your roast with aluminum foil, and leave it in the oven for another 20 to 40 minutes. Another option is to wait until the meat thermometer reads 130°F for rare, 145°F for medium-rare, 160°F for medium, and 170°F for well done.
- Take the roast out of the oven and allow it to rest for an additional 20 minutes, still lightly tented. Then, transfer the roast to a cutting board, remove the twine, carve, and serve.
