1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes until they are soft.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the meat and vegetables, and stir to coat everything evenly.
6. Slowly add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce begins to thicken.
7. Add the Worcestershire sauce, then reduce the heat to low.
8. Stir in the sour cream, ensuring it’s well incorporated into the sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot!
Variations & Tips
For a touch of sweetness, add a tablespoon of ketchup or a dash of paprika for a hint of spice. You can replace the ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter option. If you have picky eaters, try dicing the mushrooms finely so they go unnoticed while still adding flavor. For a vegetarian version, swap the beef with lentils or a meat substitute and use veggie stock instead of beef broth.
