How to Make Beef Stroganoff with Egg Noodles
Step 1: Prep the Beef
- Start by sprinkling your beef with a good pinch of salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Heat up your skillet until it’s sizzling hot, add a splash of olive oil, and sear the beef just until browned. Don’t overcrowd the pan—we want those golden edges! Set it aside and try not to nibble.
Step 2: Build That Sauce
- In the same pan, melt the butter and toss in the onions. Let them cook until they’re soft and just a little caramelized. Now, throw in the garlic and mushrooms. Cook until your kitchen smells like heaven (about 3-4 minutes).
- Pour in the beef broth, scraping up all those yummy browned bits. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, then let it simmer until it’s thick and velvety.
Step 3: Bring Back the Beef
- Slide your beef back into the skillet, making sure every piece gets coated in that luscious sauce. Reduce the heat and stir in the sour cream. Keep it low and slow—you’re aiming for creamy, not curdled!
Step 4: Make the Low-Carb Egg Noodles
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. (Seriously, parchment paper is your bestie here.)
- Blend eggs, cream cheese, xanthan gum, and salt until silky smooth. Pour it onto your baking sheet and spread it out nice and even.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes, or until it’s set but still flexible. Let it cool for a minute, then slice it into noodles. Boom—low-carb pasta magic.
Step 5: Serve It Up
- Toss your egg noodles with a little butter (because, yes). Pile them onto plates and top with that rich, creamy stroganoff. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy, and dive in!
This isn’t just dinner; it’s comfort food with benefits.

Storage Tips & Meal Prep Ideas
- Storage: Got leftovers? Lucky you! Store the stroganoff in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to keep the sauce separate from the noodles if possible to preserve their texture. When reheating, do it gently over low heat or in the microwave at 50% power. Stir often to keep the sauce from breaking. If it looks too thick, a splash of beef broth will bring it back to life.
- Freezing Tips: The stroganoff sauce freezes like a dream—just skip the sour cream before freezing. When you’re ready to serve, thaw it overnight in the fridge and heat it up. Stir in fresh sour cream at the end for that perfect creamy finish. Unfortunately, the homemade egg noodles don’t freeze well, but you can always make them fresh!
- Meal Prep Hacks: Want to save time? Double the recipe and store portions in meal prep containers. You’ll have a hearty, keto-friendly meal ready to go whenever the craving hits. You can even prep the sauce ahead and store it separately to use with zoodles or cauliflower rice. And here’s a tip: freeze individual portions of the sauce in silicone molds for easy grab-and-reheat servings!
- Make-Ahead Noodles: If you’re short on time, bake and slice your egg noodles the night before. Store them in the fridge between layers of parchment paper to keep them fresh. They’ll be ready to roll when dinnertime comes around.
