Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 8 oz (225g) cremini mushrooms (sliced)
- ½ large onion (sliced into thin quarter moons)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ cup (120ml) sour cream
- 2 oz (60g) cream cheese
- 1 cup (240ml) beef bone broth
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps coconut aminos (optional)
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Aromatic Foundation: Heat olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium temperature. Sauté chopped onions and sliced mushrooms until they transform into golden-edged, caramelized morsels, releasing their concentrated essence for approximately 10 minutes.
- Meat Preparation: Elevate heat to medium-high and introduce ground beef into the pan. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Deconstruct the meat with a spatula, cooking until completely browned and devoid of any pink coloration, roughly 8-10 minutes.
- Flavor Fusion: Merge sautéed mushrooms, onions, and cooked ground beef into a seamless culinary composition. Create a central opening and incorporate minced garlic, toasting briefly to unleash its aromatic potential.
- Liquid Infusion: Stream beef bone broth and coconut aminos into the skillet, allowing the mixture to reach a robust boil. Reduce heat, enabling flavors to intensify and concentrate while maintaining slight moisture for approximately 5 minutes.
- Creamy Transformation: Introduce sour cream and cream cheese, whisking methodically to create a luxuriously smooth, velvety sauce that envelops the meat and vegetables in a rich, decadent embrace.
- Plating and Presentation: Elegantly transfer the beef stroganoff onto serving plates, complemented by spaghetti squash or alternative low-carb accompaniments. Optional garnish of fresh herbs provides a final flourish of color and freshness.
Notes
- Meat Browning Technique: Ensure ground beef is completely browned with no pink remaining to develop deep, rich flavor and prevent any potential foodborne risks.
- Moisture Management: Allow mushrooms and onions to caramelize properly by cooking until excess liquid evaporates, creating concentrated flavors and achieving a golden-brown texture.
- Sauce Smoothness: Whisk sour cream and cream cheese thoroughly to prevent lumps, creating a silky, uniform sauce that coats the meat evenly.
- Temperature Control: Maintain consistent heat during different cooking stages to develop layered flavors without burning ingredients, especially when toasting garlic and simmering the sauce.
