What You’ll Need
Gathering your ingredients is the first step towards mastering this dish. Here’s a quick list to ensure you have everything on hand:
- 1 tsp butter
- 4 oz small mushrooms, sliced
- 1 lb ground beef (grass-fed if available)
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ¼ cup lower sodium beef broth
- 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp paprika
- ⅛ tsp salt (as desired)
- ½ cup sour cream (add extra as desired)
Feel free to substitute with low-fat sour cream if you’re looking for a lighter option.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms, cooking until they’re tender and browned, which should take about 5 minutes. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef and chopped onion, along with the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked. If you’re using a smaller skillet, consider cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Once the beef is cooked, return the mushrooms to the skillet, and stir in the lemon juice, paprika, and salt. Mix well, allowing it to heat to a gentle simmer.
- Remove the pan from heat and stir in the sour cream. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve in bowls by itself or over toasted ultra-thin bread slices for an added crunch.
