Carnivore Beef Stroganoff,

Ingredients:

• For the beef stroganoff:
  • 1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin, or tenderloin), thinly sliced into strips
  • 1/2 cup beef bone broth (optional, but adds richness)
  • 2 tbsp butter or tallow (for cooking)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut cream for a dairy-free version)
  • 1/4 cup sour cream (optional for extra creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional for added flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder (optional, depending on your strictness)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Beef:

• Slice the beef into thin strips, ensuring the pieces are even in size for quick cooking. This ensures they cook evenly and stay tender.
• 

2. Sear the Beef:

• In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter or tallow over medium-high heat.
• Once the fat is hot, add the beef strips in a single layer. Don’t overcrowd the pan; you may need to work in batches.
• Sear the beef for 2-3 minutes on each side until it’s browned and just cooked through. Remove the beef from the pan and set aside.

3. Make the Stroganoff Sauce:

• In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of butter or tallow.
• Once melted, lower the heat to medium and add the beef bone broth (if using), scraping the bottom of the pan to release all the browned bits for extra flavor.
• Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. Add Seasonings:

• Stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder (if using), and salt and pepper to taste.
• Allow the sauce to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring it’s smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

5. Combine Beef and Sauce:

• Add the seared beef strips back into the skillet with the sauce. Stir to coat the beef evenly with the creamy sauce.
• Let everything cook together for 2-3 more minutes, just until heated through.

6. Serve:

• Once the beef is tender and fully coated with the creamy sauce, serve immediately.
• You can enjoy it on its own, or pair it with a side of carnivore-approved dishes like crispy bacon or a fried egg for added richness.

Tips:

• For a richer sauce, you can add a bit more heavy cream or a splash of full-fat coconut milk.
• You can also use beef chuck roast or any cut that’s suitable for searing.
• If you want extra flavor, feel free to add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary (optional).

This Carnivore Beef Stroganoff is a creamy, satisfying dish that stays within a zero-carb guideline while delivering all the rich, comforting flavors you crave. Enjoy!
