carnivore stroganoff recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef steak (ribeye, sirloin, or tenderloin) or ground beef
- 2 tbsp butter or tallow (for cooking)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth (optional for a saucier consistency)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder (if you use seasonings)
Instructions:
- Cook the Beef:
- If using steak, slice the beef into thin strips. If using ground beef, cook as is.
- In a large skillet, heat the butter or tallow over medium-high heat.
- Add the beef strips or ground beef to the skillet, season with salt and pepper (and garlic or onion powder if desired), and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes. If using ground beef, break it up as it cooks.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Add the heavy cream and beef broth (if using) to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Add Sour Cream:
- Stir in the sour cream, making sure it blends into the sauce smoothly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce is creamy and well mixed.
- Serve:
- Serve the carnivore stroganoff hot. If you’re strictly carnivore, you can enjoy it as is. If you allow for low-carb or keto sides, you can serve it over scrambled eggs or cheese crisps.
