Yield 6 servings
Ingredients
5 tablespoons butter, divided use
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons sherry (or white wine)
1/2 cup beef stock
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup sour cream
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Cooked egg noodles or rice for serving
| 1 | In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Saute onions until slightly tender, then add mushrooms. Saute until beginning to brown, then add garlic. Cook for 2 minutes more, then using a slotted spoon, remove from pan. |
|
| 2 | Melt remaining butter. When foaming, add beef and cook, about 5 minutes, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Add sherry and stock and cook 3-5 minutes, until reduced and no odor of alcohol remains. |
|
| 3 | In a small bowl, whisk sour cream with a bit of the juice from the pan (this prevents curdling). |
|
| 4 | Add vegetables back to pan, season with salt and pepper and a little nutmeg. Add sour cream, bring to almost boiling. Remove from heat and test for seasoning. |
|
| 5 | Garnish with parsley and serve. |
