Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Lean ground beef (90% lean or higher)
- 250 grams Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 120 milliliters Low-sodium beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
- 30 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the lean ground beef to the other side.
Cook the beef for 7-8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink.
Mix the beef with the mushrooms and onions, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the beef broth into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet, stirring well to thicken the sauce.
Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Sprinkle in the fresh thyme leaves and stir to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a side of brown rice.
