Low Carb / Keto Beef Stroganoff 7 total 6 net carbs.

Another Classic recipe now low carb! Actually the recipe for Boeuf Stroganoff from Larousse Gastronomique, the classic collection of French cooking is low carb to begin with as its not made with a roux or served over rice or noodles , rather it is served alone in a cream sauce reduction . It also does not include sour cream . In this recipe I used the classic technique , but added creme fresh in place of sour cream due to the fact that creme fresh will not curdle when simmered as sour cream does . I have included a video on how to make creme fresh which is very easy . Anyway enjoy this this classic French version of a Russian recipe.
