The BEST low carb beef stroganoff

This beef stroganoff is SUCH a savory, filling dish. Included in this recipe are a bunch of totally delectable ingredients that all work together to create a HUGE flavorful punch.

This recipe includes beef, mushrooms, onions, apple cider vinegar, sour cream, thyme, garlic, avocado oil, and a few other things! I like to use avocado oil because it’s such a healthy oil. It is made up of nearly 70% oleic acid, which is a healthy fatty acid that benefits the heart. This oil also benefits cholesterol levels, and compared to coconut and olive oil, it is the healthiest option!

Apple cider vinegar is another ingredient that I love including in my recipes, because it is such a little power house. This vinegar is great for lowering blood sugar levels, making it super beneficial for those with type 2 diabetes! In addition, apple cider vinegar is beneficial to the heart, as it helps to lower cholesterol.

If you like beef, you will LOVE this keto beef stroganoff

If you have been following along on the Real Balanced journey, you probably know that I follow a ketogenic diet! I have found that the keto diet allows me to feel my absolute BEST, so I honor that and create meals that adhere to the guidelines!

If you are unfamiliar with the ketogenic diet, I will give you a quick run down! Following a keto diet is all about allowing your body to reach and remain in “ketosis.” Typically, the body uses carbohydrates for energy. When it is out of carbs to use, it turns to fat and uses that as the energy source instead. Ketosis occurs once that switch is made, and the body is using fat as its source of fuel.

That being said, it is important to remain conscious of your carbohydrate intake when you are following a keto diet. You want your body to be fueled by fat, not carbs! This recipe follows right along with that rule, as it is very low in carbs. Each serving of this dish only contains 2.4 grams of net carbs, making it the perfect keto recipe!

A super delicious and cozy meal

This recipe yields 10 generous servings, making it the PERFECT dish for hosting friends or family. It is also a great dish to make if you like to meal prep each week! Personally, I would LOVE to partake in this super cozy dish each and every evening, especially since it’s now so frigid outdoors! There is nothing quite better than cozying up with yummy comfort food after a long, productive day, is there?!
