Easy Beef Dinner for Weekly Meal Prep
Slow cooker recipes like this one will quickly become your favorite for meal prep because they are so easy! Nothing is better than adding everything to the crock pot, turning it on, and walking away until dinner time.
Once the meat cooks, serve it all around. Pair the saucy meat with the low-carb serving suggestions I share below. For non-keto dieters in the family, let them enjoy it with rice or noodles. I like to bulk prepping carbs for the family and keep them prepared in the fridge. Then, I can cook meat and vegetables and grab whatever else with ease.
Low-carb beef stroganoff is such a minimalist meal. Plus, it only has 3 g net carb per serving!
How to Make Beef Stroganoff in a Slow Cooker
Gather all the low-carb ingredients and you’ll be off to a great start for making a keto beef stroganoff recipe in just 10 minutes!
Keto slow cooker recipes are some of the best for meal prep! This one doesn’t disappoint.
Ingredients
Chuck roast – A favorite for slow-cooking because it’s cheap and softens nicely after cooking long and slow. (1) I suggest grass-fed chuck roast from White Oak Pastures.
Mushrooms – Slice them up and let them simmer in the creamy sauce. After, they are so tender and delicious!
Onion and garlic – Need I say more? How can we not add these flavorful ingredients? They are a classic component of many savory dishes.
Bone broth – I prefer a homemade beef bone broth and almost always have it in my freezer. However, Kettle and Fire makes an organic shelf-stable broth you can store in your pantry. You can read my Kettle and Fire Bone Broth Review and learn why they are my top choice.
Apple cider vinegar – Just a splash here for a little sweetness and tang!
Sour cream – This thickens the sauce and makes it super creamy!
Directions
Follow along with step-by-step, and you’ll make this keto slow cooker dinner perfectly the first time you try!
- Arrange beef in the crockpot of the slow cooker. Cover with mushrooms, onion, and garlic.
- Pour bone broth and apple cider vinegar over the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover with the lid and turn the slow cooker on. Cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours.
- Add the sour cream and stir well to combine in the last 15-30 minutes of cooking time. If you desire a thicker sauce, sprinkle Xanthan gum over everything evenly and mix well.
Serve warm with cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or miracle noodles.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Crockpot Stroganoff FAQ
When served as meat with a creamy mushroom sauce, traditional beef stroganoff is, in fact, keto! However, the carb content skyrockets when you add noodles or serve it over rice.
Stroganoff usually accompanies noodles or rice. However, these ingredients are not allowed on a keto diet. Instead, I recommend low-carb alternatives such as spiralized vegetable noodles, cauliflower or broccoli rice, spaghetti squash, or any variety of pasta from the Miracle Noodle brand.
Revisit my links posted above in the “directionsu0022 section for specific details and directions.
You’ll notice Xanthan gum is an optional ingredient in this recipe. If you find your sauce is too thin, sprinkle 1 teaspoon of Xanthan gum evenly over the surface of the meat and liquid in the last 15-30 minutes of cooking time. Mix well to combine, then leave to sit and finish cooking.

What would be a good alternative to thicken the sauce?
Hi Christian, guar gum is commonly used as a xanthan gum replacement. You could also use ground flax meal.
Three words that I love…Easy…beef…and slow cooker on any recipe and this had them all woohoo! This turned out so good, the apple cider vinegar was a refreshing twist as it warmed up the flavours, the zoodles I made were all gone as my family devoured it with the leftover creamy sauce…success.
We love hearing when a recipe is a success. Thanks, Deb!
I was looking for a new recipe to try in my slow cooker, and I found this beef stroganoff recipe. I followed the directions, but I added mushrooms and onions for extra flavor. It turned out amazing! The meat was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was rich and creamy. I’ll definitely make this again.
So I used to make stroganoff with my grandma all the time so this recipe is very nostalgic to me. I hadn’t made it in yearsssss I decided to try out this recipe. It turned out great and reminded me of when I used to make it with her! Thanks for the recipe!
I have that nostalgia too with stroganoff, Macy. Happy to hear it brought you back to happy memories of family.
