Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (80/20 preferred)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 10.5 oz (300 g) mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional)
  • fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms and cook until golden and their moisture has evaporated.
  • Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, Dijon mustard, and garlic. Cook for 30 seconds.
  • Pour in the beef broth and simmer for 4–5 minutes.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Return the beef to the skillet, add black pepper, and simmer gently.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream.
  • If needed, add the cornstarch slurry and heat briefly to thicken.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for best flavor.
  • Add sour cream off heat to prevent curdling.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
