Ingredients
  

  • 1.1 tablespoon olive oil for browning the beef evenly
  • 1.1 lb lean ground beef adds hearty protein
  • ⅔ medium onion, diced for aromatic sweetness
  • 1.1 lb mushrooms, sliced adds earthy flavor and texture
  • 2 cloves, minced for savory depth
  • 2.25 tablespoon all-purpose flour helps thicken the sauce
  • 1.1 cups beef broth forms the savory base
  • 1.1 cups heavy whipping cream creates the rich body
  • 0.36 cup sour cream adds tang and creaminess
  • 1.1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce boosts umami
  • ⅔ teaspoon salt adjust as needed for taste
  • ⅔ teaspoon ground black pepper adds mild heat

Equipment

  • 1 large deep skillet or sauté pan high sides to contain the sauce
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula used for stirring and breaking up beef
  • 1 set of measuring cups and spoons for measuring liquids and seasonings accurately
  • 1 cutting board for prepping vegetables safely
  • 1 chef’s knife for chopping onions, garlic, and mushrooms

Method
 

  1. Warm the skillet over medium-high heat with the oil, then crumble in the ground beef and cook, stirring to break it into small pieces. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onions soften and turn golden.
  2. Stir in the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing them to soften and letting any excess moisture cook off.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until it fully dissolves into the beef and vegetables.
  4. Pour in the broth, cream, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat and let it bubble for about 5 minutes to thicken.
  5. Remove the skillet from heat, fold in the sour cream, and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve with your preferred noodles, rice, or potatoes.
