If you are following a keto diet and getting a little tired of the same meals over and over, I have something new for you to try.

Keto Roast Beef in Cream Sauce

This keto roast beef in cream sauce is a game changer. It’s hearty, it’s filling, and it tastes absolutely amazing. The best part is that you don’t need to be a great cook to make this.

As long as you can cut some beef into cubes and turn on your oven, you can make this recipe. It’s that straightforward, and the results are always consistent and delicious every single time you make it.

Making this dish is also really hands off, which I appreciate a lot. You do a little bit of prep work at the beginning, and then the oven takes over. You cover the dish and let it bake for two hours.

During that time, the beef gets tender and soaks up all the cream. Then you remove the cover and bake it a bit longer so the cheese can brown. After it comes out of the oven, you let it rest for a little while before serving.

That resting time helps the sauce thicken up even more and lets all the flavors come together. When you finally take that first bite, you will understand why this recipe is so special.

👍 Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Only 3 Main Ingredients: This recipe uses just three main ingredients, which makes it perfect for anyone who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money at the grocery store or deal with a long shopping list.

Super Tender Beef: The way this recipe is cooked makes the beef incredibly tender. Because it bakes covered in the oven for two hours, the meat has time to slowly break down and become soft.

Rich and Creamy Sauce: The heavy cream in this recipe doesn’t just sit there doing nothing. As the dish bakes, the cream transforms into a rich, thick sauce that coats every piece of beef.

You don’t need to make a separate gravy or sauce on the stove. It happens naturally in the oven while everything cooks together. The sauce is silky, flavorful, and adds so much to the dish.

2 pounds Beef Boneless Ribs (cut into cubes)

💡Tips

1. Cut Your Beef Into Even Sized Cubes

When you’re cutting the beef into cubes, try to make them all roughly the same size. This is really important because if some pieces are big and others are small, they won’t cook at the same rate.

The small pieces might get overcooked and dry while the big pieces are still tough in the middle. You want every piece of beef to be tender and juicy, and that only happens when they’re all similar in size.

2. Make Sure the Foil is Sealed Tight

When you cover the baking dish with aluminum foil before putting it in the oven, you need to make sure it’s sealed really well around the edges.

The foil is doing an important job during those two hours of baking. It traps the steam and heat inside the dish, which is what makes the beef become so tender.

If there are gaps or loose spots where steam can escape, the liquid will evaporate too quickly and your beef might dry out.

Press the foil firmly around the edges of the baking dish so no steam can get out. If your dish has an unusual shape or the foil isn’t cooperating, you can use two pieces of foil overlapping each other.

3. Watch the Cheese Carefully at the End

During the last 20 minutes of baking when the foil is off, you need to keep an eye on the cheese. Every oven is a little different, and the cheese can go from perfectly golden to burnt pretty quickly if you’re not paying attention.

You want the cheese to be bubbly and have a nice golden brown color on top, but you don’t want it to turn dark brown or black. Start checking on it around the 15-minute mark.

If your oven runs hot, the cheese might be ready sooner. If your oven runs a bit cool, it might take the full 20 minutes or even a little longer.

You’re looking for that sweet spot where the cheese is melted, slightly crispy on the edges, and has developed that appetizing golden color.

FAQ

Can I use different types of cheese?

Yes, you can definitely use different cheeses in this recipe. The recipe suggests mozzarella and Parmesan, but you have lots of options.

Gruyere is a great choice because it melts beautifully and has a slightly nutty flavor that goes well with beef. Cheddar works too, especially a sharp aged cheddar that will add more flavor to the dish.
