Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) lean ground beef
- 1 cup (236 ml) whipping cream
- 1 cup (236 ml) beef broth
- 1 lb (454 g) mushrooms, sliced
- ⅓ cup (79 ml) sour cream
- ½ medium onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) all-purpose flour
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt, adjust to taste
- ½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) ground black pepper, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Warm a substantial skillet over medium-high heat, coating the surface with olive oil. Methodically crumble ground beef into the pan, breaking it into uniform pieces while cooking until it begins to brown.
- Aromatic Enhancement: Introduce diced onions and minced garlic simultaneously, sautéing the mixture until onions become translucent and acquire a golden sheen. Incorporate sliced mushrooms, allowing them to soften and release their inherent moisture, intensifying the dish’s depth of flavor.
- Sauce Foundation: Sprinkle flour over the meat mixture, stirring carefully to prevent lumps. Gradually pour beef broth and whipping cream into the skillet, complementing with Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, whisking consistently to create a harmonious blend.
- Simmering and Refinement: Reduce heat, allowing the mixture to simmer gently. Watch as the sauce thickens and flavors meld together, developing a rich, luxurious consistency. Remove from heat and gently fold in sour cream, ensuring smooth integration without curdling.
- Final Touch: Taste and fine-tune seasonings, adjusting salt and pepper to achieve a perfectly balanced culinary creation. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, savory essence of this delightful dish.
Notes
- Meat Browning Technique: Crumble ground beef into small, uniform pieces for even cooking and better texture, preventing large clumps that can become tough.
- Moisture Management: Watch mushroom cooking carefully to ensure complete liquid evaporation, concentrating flavors and preventing a watery sauce.
- Flour Coating Strategy: Stir flour gently and thoroughly to avoid lumps, which helps create a smooth, velvety sauce without grainy texture.
- Cream Incorporation Tip: Add sour cream off heat and fold gently to prevent curdling, maintaining a silky, rich sauce consistency.
