Keto Ribeye Stroganoff

This keto ribeye stroganoff features tender slices of steak and savory mushrooms smothered in creamy brown gravy.

You can’t go wrong with a dish that’s as close to comfort food perfection as possible and yet still manages to be keto-friendly!

Plus, it’s a recipe the whole family will love, making it a favorite dinner to add to your meal prep.

I make my low-carb beef stroganoff recipe using ribeye steak. Why? Although traditionally, beef rump, chuck roast, or round steak is used to make the dish, these cuts require tenderizing and longer cooking times.

Yes, those cuts are cheaper per pound, and that’s why I have a keto beef stew recipe that requires you to cook it low and slow, and it’s perfect for when you need an inexpensive dinner.

Keto Ribeye Stroganoff

Sometimes you need a quick option that will allow you to have dinner on the table in under 30 minutes. Ribeye doesn’t require you to cook longer than 10 minutes.

Plus, ribeye steak is an excellent high-fat meat option for keto dieters with great flavor.

With careful planning, you can find ribeye on sale and make a simple dish that will impress your loved ones for a quick weeknight meal or weekend recipe that tastes like it took all day.

Another delicious cut of meat that will keep this dish under 30 minutes is top sirloin steak, sirloin tips, or even beef tenderloin. So you certainly have options.

In fact, you could even use ground beef if this is more within your budget.

I feel like creating a flavorful stroganoff that is keto-friendly starts with a great piece of meat that is well-marbled with fat.

What keeps this dish keto is also the fact that it doesn’t use any flour to thicken the mushroom creamy sauce.

Just combining the browned bits at the bottom of the pan with the sour cream sauce is all you need to make this gravy.

This makes for an incredibly flavorful kiw carb beef stroganoff recipe that you can enjoy without worrying about consuming too many carbs and keeps it gluten-free!

How To Select The Perfect Ribeye Steak

Ribeye steaks are made out of the major muscle linked to a cow’s back, commonly known as the rib.

The primary distinguishing feature is that there’s a strip of fat on top for tenderness and flavor. Because this part isn’t exercised very often, it makes for a tender beef steak.

All ribeye steaks are not created equal, which is why I recommend, whenever possible, choosing grass-fed over grain-fed.

Grass-fed steak is a healthier choice than grain-fed meat. These cows are permitted to roam free, and this leads them to have more flavor in comparison to their counterparts that feed on grains only or have been confined indoors most of the time. 

Select a steak that is red in color with a good fat cap. If you are looking for flavor, try one that has some marbling (white lines of fat). The more marbling, the better the quality of the steak.

How To Make Keto Ribeye Stroganoff 

Making this keto beef stroganoff recipe is pretty straightforward and simple.

You’ll start by seasoning the ribeye meat with salt and pepper and cutting the meat against the grain into bite-sized pieces that are about 1 1/2 inches.

Then, in a large skillet, you’ll heat some of the butter along with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. To the hot pan, you’ll add the sliced mushrooms and cook until lightly brown.

Next, you’ll remove the mushrooms, add another tablespoon of butter, and cook the onions, garlic, and shallots until tender. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside with the mushrooms.

To this same pan, add the remaining two tablespoons of olive oil and raise the temperature to high. You’ll be searing the ribeye steak quickly until brown.

Do this in batches, being sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow for browning.

Next, in the same pan, lower the heat to medium and return the cooked onions, garlic, shallots, and mushrooms.

Pour the beef broth, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, and thyme, and bring it to a low simmer for a few minutes.

Then, it’s time to stir in the sour cream and combine well until fully incorporated. Before serving, remove the thyme stems, if using fresh, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley and green onions or chives.

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to five days in the refrigerator or up to three weeks in the freezer without issue.

Join Our Jesus And Keto Movement 

Our family came to the keto diet looking at it from a Christian perspective; it’s the filter we chose to see through.

When we decided to combine our Christian faith and the keto diet, we did so in hopes of finding lasting transformation.

To say we needed God’s intervention is to put it mildly. When we followed the Holy Spirit’s lead to embrace the ketogenic diet and combine it with our faith, we got on the path to real transformation. 

If you are looking for a Christian group that is using the keto diet to transform their lives, we invite you to join our Private Facebook Group and see if it’s not the key you have been missing.
