This Creamy Beef Mushroom and Broccoli Slaw Stir-Fry recipe was an early keto creation that helped me adjust to a low-carb high-fat lifestyle. It can be made as a quick last-minute meal or as a prepped meal to enjoy all week.
A different take on some familiar ingredients
The main ingredients in this dish – broccoli slaw, mushrooms, and beef – are often used in Asian-style dishes with savory or sweet sauces. In this recipe I wanted to play it a little different. I tossed the ingredients in simple sauce of heavy cream flavored with garlic and onion. The result is a creamy, savory dish that is satisfying without being too heavy.
Broccoli Slaw – A Versatile Keto Mainstay
I use broccoli slaw a lot for my keto lifestyle. It works great as a low carb side dish and has great macros. It also has a texture and durability that holds up to a fair amount of cooking. That means you can use it with a variety of sauces and cooking styles.
Picking The Right Beef
Almost any cut of beef will work for this recipe. A ribeye or top sirloin would be my first choice, but there are many budget cuts that will work well too. This Creamy Beef Mushroom and Broccoli Slaw Stir-Fry is just one way I like to prepare a nice piece of beef.
