  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, and slicing the mushrooms. Having all your ingredients ready will streamline the cooking process.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and beef broth until smooth. Add the mixture to the skillet along with the minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir in the sour cream. Let it simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly—about 5 minutes. Finish with a pat of butter and garnish with fresh parsley for color and flavor.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • For extended storage, freeze portions for up to 2 months—ensure to thaw before reheating to maintain creamy texture.
