Notes
Ingredient notes
Beef round: I strongly recommend using a cut like beef round for this recipe. Do NOT use stewing beef here, this is a quick-cooking recipe and you need a cut that’s not tough.
Broth: Bone broth works best due to its gelatine content. If you only have regular store-bought beef broth, I strongly recommend adding a little bit of powdered gelatine (start with 1/4 teaspoon).
Sour cream: I prefer using full fat sour cream here because it’s the creamiest. It’s also the best choice if you want this dish to be full-on Keto.
Tips and tricks
Don’t rush browning the beef, please do it in batches. This is the main component of this dish, and it will NOT brown if you throw it in the pan all at once.
Do not heat the sauce once you have added the sour cream. It will split! Just stir it in and then serve immediately.
For the creamiest gravy, you’ll need to use bone broth (for its gelatine content), or add around 1/4 teaspoon gelatine to store-bought broth. You could also leave those out, you’ll just have a thinner gravy. Glucomannan or collagen would also be a good option to keep this low carb.
