Tender cuts of beef, often pan-seared or slow-cooked, generously coated in a rich, earthy mushroom sauce, a comforting and savory dish. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 4-6 Prep Time: 25 minutes Ingredients: - 1.5 lbs beef sirloin or chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes or thin slices - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 1 large onion, chopped - 1 lb cremini mushrooms, sliced - 2 cloves garlic, minced - 1.5 cups beef broth - 1/2 cup dry red wine (optional, or more broth) - 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce - 1 teaspoon dried thyme - Salt and black pepper to taste - 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (slurry) - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish Instructions: 1. Pat beef dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown beef in batches on all sides; remove and set aside. 2. Add chopped onion to the pot and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until tender and browned, about 7-10 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. 3. Deglaze the pan with red wine (if using) or a splash of broth, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. 4. Return beef to the pot. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1.5-2 hours (for stew meat) or 20-30 minutes (for thin slices), until beef is tender. 5. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, for 5-10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning. 6. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
