Ground Beef Stroganoff
I grew up with ground beef stroganoff. It wasn’t until recently I learned many recipes use beef fillet or steak instead.
Since ground beef is so easy to work with, widely available, and cheap, why change something that isn’t broken?
This carnivore dinner recipe is quick and easy to prep without any vegetables while still retaining the classic creamy beefy flavors of traditional stroganoff. (1)
With 24 grams of protein, 20 grams of fat, and 0 grams of carbohydrate per 4 ounces (113 grams), ground beef is a macro-friendly choice for many meals. (2)

It is improved with sour cream, which most stroganoff recipes call for. I also added one clove of diced garlic, and 1/2 cup of diced onion, which adds about 5 carbs, and a lot of flavor.
Thank you for the comments and suggestions, Anthony.
Yes that is good but not carnivore, excellent recipe as is
Daisy sour cream is made with raw milk, so it is very much carnivore friendly. Cream cheese on the other hand, I have not yet seen a brand that isn’t pasteurized.
I made this carnivore recipe and it was DELICIOUS! I eat a lot of beef and can get tired of ground beef sometimes, but this dish was so tasty! I’ll be making it regularly. I did add a dollop of sour cream on the top. 🙂 Thank you!
Thanks, Laura. It’s always nice to hear our recipes are helping alleviate the monotony this diet can sometimes bring.
Oh my goodness, this is so good. I just made it and it delicious. I didn’t have beef broth so I used chicken and I used sour cream. It’s so simple yet so flavorful. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing:)
Happy to hear you liked the recipe, Petra. Thanks for your review.
I love this. I make a chaffle (with egg whites and cheese) and then add the egg yolks (and stir) to the stroganoff mix after removing from the heat. I pour the stroganoff over my cut up chaffle. Yum!!
Delicious, Deanna! Thanks so much for sharing your success. Adding a chaffle would give a great texture contrast. I love it!
I am wondering if I could use sour Cream in place of part or all of the cream cheese. I use the Daisy brand sour cream. Thank you.
Hi Deborah, Replacing cream cheese with sour cream will be just fine. Enjoy!
Love animal-based recipes!
They are the best! I agree! I hope you join me here for many more to come.
Thank you for providing a great resource to the carnivore community. I’m currently preparing this stroganoff for my afternoon meal and it smells heavenly. Gotta go now, I’m drooling on my keyboard!!
Thanks again,
Birch

Hello ! Loved the recipe’s! I was just wondering about your nutrition info. What’s the portion use to say 465 kcal ?
Thanks
Hello Amelie, 465 calories reflect one-third of this recipe. The macros are divided by 3 servings (approx 1/3 pound of meat).
why couldn’t one use sour cream instead of cream cheese as it is, in fact, much closer to traditional strogonoff.?
You certainly can use sour cream instead of cream cheese. That would be a great substitution 🙂
I swear this recipe originally was made with heavy cream… if I’m not crazy… could I have the ratio/amount needed or can you email me that version to keep please!!! Thanks!
Hi Neil! You’re right I originally made it with heavy cream but did some testing with the cream cheese which seems to give a thicker texture which people say they like. You can choose between 4 ounces of cream cheese or 1 cup of heavy cream. I’ll add a note in the recipe card in case others prefer this too. What makes you like the version with heavy cream more? I think they both taste great 😀
I made this last night and it is wonderful! I did make it with the heavy cream and it was a bit runny. I wonder if this could be made with mascarpone cheese in place of the cream cheese to make it a true zero carb meal since cream cheese does have carbs and added sugar?
Hi Rachel, what a creative idea to use mascarpone cheese instead. I don’t see why that wouldn’t work out well. Do double check your cream cheese ingredient list because as far as I know plain cream cheese does not have added sugar and only 2 g carbs max per 1 ounce. Philadelphia cream cheese, for example, as less than 1 carb per 1 ounce serving.
