What’s your keto comfort food? Easy Keto Beef Stroganoff is high on my list. I feel full, warm, and content after eating this humble dish.

Tragic. As is my obvious recipe obsession. You should see my secret Pinterest recipe boards. They’re secret for a reason. Some of those boards are like recipe black holes. You’d get sucked in and never find the end. My public boards are much more presentable, I promise.

FAQ for Easy Keto Beef Stroganoff

What is stroganoff sauce made of?

If you’ve never had homemade stroganoff, you will be pleasantly surprised by this recipe. Most easy stroganoff recipes contain canned cream of mushroom soup.

I make my low carb beef stroganoff sauce with butter, onion, beef bouillon paste, fresh mushrooms, dried sage (or fresh if you have it!–yum!), heavy cream, sour cream, and salt and pepper.

This stroganoff sauce recipe has that homemade, not processed or overly salted taste we all crave. I promise you, this may not be as easy as dumping cans of soup (which generally contain gluten, so not keto friendly), but it WILL be easy. And deliciously comforting!

Can beef stroganoff be frozen?

Absolutely! I do it all the time. I wouldn’t freeze it much longer than 30 days, as your easy keto beef stroganoff recipe will start to get freezer burn.

When you’re ready to eat the healthy stroganoff, let it thaw in the fridge or on the counter and then warm it up slowly in a pan on the stove. Make a fresh batch of riced cauliflower to go with it, and serve!

Do I have to eat this low carb beef stroganoff with cauliflower rice?

People like their stroganoff served in different ways. So no, if you’re not fond of riced cauliflower, you definitely don’t have to eat your ketogenic stroganoff with cauliflower.

Other options are noodles (try zucchini noodles) or just have it plain! I love it all three ways.

Riced Cauliflower Instructions for your Easy Keto Beef Stroganoff Recipe

For my kids, I sometimes make this with a combination of brown rice and quinoa. FYI, quinoa is a seed, not a grain.

Technically you could eat it on keto because it’s not a grain, but that might be your entire allotment of carbs for the day.

My kids’ taste buds are slowly changing, though.

The last time I served a dish with riced cauliflower instead of regular rice, they were halfway through the meal before they asked, “Is this cauliflower rice?”

Awww! Their taste buds are growing up!

Riced cauliflower is super easy to make: 

  • Just process a head of cauliflower into small, rice-sized pieces.
  • Place cauliflower pieces in an uncovered microwave-safe dish.
  • Microwave for 3-5 minutes at a time, stirring up the pieces in between microwaving, until the “rice” is tender. That’s it!

If you don’t want to make your own riced cauliflower for this easy keto beef stroganoff recipe, a lot of stores now carry frozen riced cauliflower in the freezer section or fresh riced cauliflower in the produce section.

I still remember the day I noticed that. I think the other shoppers in my aisle giggled a little at my loud, involuntary gasp of delight. Haha! That’s fine. The world can always use more laughter.
