Description

Keto Dairy-Free Beef Stroganoff brings all the cozy vibes of the classic dish—rich flavor, tender beef, creamy sauce—but swaps out the dairy for coconut milk without sacrificing any of the taste.

Ingredients

Step-By-Step Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, melt the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft and slightly golden.

  2. Add the Mushrooms

    Toss in the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.

  3. Season it Up

    Stir in the salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Give everything a good mix so the flavors start to blend. Smells amazing already!

  4. Cook the Beef

    Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the shaved or stir-fry beef right into the pan. Sear and stir for about 5 minutes, or until fully cooked. If your beef pieces are thicker, it may take a bit longer.

    Pro Tip: Shaved beef cooks faster and absorbs flavor beautifully!

  5. Add the Coconut Milk

    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the canned coconut milk and stir to coat the beef and veggies in that rich, creamy sauce.

  6. Simmer & Serve

    Let everything simmer together for about 5 minutes, just enough for the flavors to meld and everything to heat through.

    Now grab a spoon (or fork) and dig in!

Note

Tips for Stroganoff Success

✔️ Use full-fat coconut milk for the creamiest result
✔️ Don’t overcook the beef – especially if it’s thinly sliced
✔️ Want it thicker? Simmer longer or stir in a bit of arrowroot powder
✔️ Dijon mustard = flavor booster – don’t skip it!

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Does it taste like coconut?

Not really! The coconut milk adds creaminess without a strong coconut flavor—especially once it blends with the mushrooms, beef, and mustard.

Can I use ground beef instead?

Absolutely! It changes the texture a bit but still tastes amazing and cuts down on prep.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Yes! Store in an airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw and reheat on the stove for best texture.

What can I use instead of coconut milk?

If you’re not avoiding dairy, heavy cream works. For another dairy-free option, try unsweetened cashew cream or almond milk (though it won’t be as rich).
