Keto Beef Stroganoff with Cauliflower Mash
Beef stroganoff, a classic dish of sautéed beef in a creamy sauce, gets a low-carb makeover in this recipe. The beef is cooked in a skillet until browned, then removed and set aside. Mushrooms, onions, and garlic are cooked in the same skillet until tender, then the beef is returned to the skillet and simmered in a sauce made with beef broth, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. The cauliflower mash is made by steaming cauliflower until tender, then mashing it with a potato masher or fork. Serve the beef stroganoff over the cauliflower mash.
Beef stroganoff is a classic dish of sautéed beef in a creamy sauce, but it's not exactly the most low-carb friendly. This recipe takes the classic flavors of beef stroganoff and lightens it up by using cauliflower mash instead of traditional mashed potatoes. The cauliflower mash is just as creamy and flavorful as mashed potatoes, but it's much lower in carbs. This recipe is also a great way to use up leftover steak. If you have a steak that's been cooked to medium-rare or medium, you can slice it thin and use it in this recipe.
