Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Egg noodles or cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add garlic and mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and no longer pink.
- Sprinkle flour over the meat and mushroom mixture. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually add beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Heat gently without boiling. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot over cooked egg noodles or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of white wine before adding the beef broth or serve with steamed green vegetables for a balanced meal.
