Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Beef (85/15 lean ratio)
  • 8 oz Cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the ground beef to the pan and break it apart with a wooden spoon, cooking until fully browned.
  3. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  4. Add the diced onions and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef.
  5. Sauté until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are golden brown.
  6. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant.
  7. Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir constantly for two minutes.
  8. Slowly whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, ensuring there are no lumps.
  9. Simmer the sauce until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream until smooth.
  11. Season with salt and pepper, then serve over noodles or rice.

Notes

Use a heavy-bottomed skillet to help develop a deep brown crust on the beef for maximum umami. Ensure you whisk the broth in slowly to maintain a smooth sauce texture. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
