Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 lb (450g) Ground beef (minced beef)
Vegetables and Aromatics:
- ½ large Onion (sliced into thin quarter moons)
- 8 oz (225g) Cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
Seasonings and Liquid Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup (240ml) Beef bone broth
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos (optional)
- ½ cup (120ml) Sour cream
- 2 oz (60g) Cream cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the aromatic base by heating olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium heat. Gently introduce chopped onions and sliced mushrooms, allowing them to soften and caramelize for approximately 10 minutes until excess moisture evaporates and edges turn golden brown.
- Elevate the heat to medium-high and create space in the pan for the ground beef. Season the meat generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Break down the beef with a spatula, cooking for 8-10 minutes until completely browned and no pink remains.
- Integrate the sautéed mushrooms and onions with the cooked ground beef, creating a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
- Create a small clearing in the center of the pan and add finely minced garlic. Toast the garlic for 60 seconds until its fragrance becomes pronounced, then thoroughly incorporate it into the meat mixture.
- Pour in beef bone broth and coconut aminos, allowing the liquid to reach a vigorous boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, concentrating the flavors while maintaining a slight amount of moisture.
- Transform the dish into a luxurious, creamy preparation by stirring in sour cream and cream cheese. Whisk until the mixture becomes smooth and uniformly combined, creating a rich, velvety sauce.
- Transfer the finished beef stroganoff to serving plates, accompanied by spaghetti squash or your preferred low-carb side dish. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
- Boost mushroom depth by letting them caramelize and release moisture, creating a rich, intense flavor profile.
- Concentrate bone broth’s essence through careful simmering, which amplifies the overall taste complexity.
- Prevent sauce separation by gently incorporating full-fat dairy ingredients after removing from direct heat.
- Elevate final taste by carefully seasoning just before serving, allowing flavors to harmonize completely.
- Maximize creaminess by selecting high-fat dairy products that provide smooth, luxurious texture without watering down the sauce.
