How to Make Creamy Beef with Mushrooms

1. Beef Tenderization

We begin by ensuring that your meat is as succulent as possible before preparing your creamy steak with mushroom. This is accomplished by first melting 3 tablespoons of butter in a pan, followed by the addition of cooking oil. Add your garlic pieces; we'll need approximately a head of it to obtain the most nutty and wonderful taste. Brown your garlic in a skillet, then add your onions. Cook until softened, then add your sirloin pieces. Cook, tossing constantly, until the edges of your meat get brown.

Before covering the pan, add a cup of water. Reduce to a moderate simmer and cook for around 35 minutes. This will not only give your meal a garlicky and onion taste, but it will also ensure that it becomes fork-tender.

2. Mushrooms should be included.

After 35 minutes, add 8 ounces of button mushrooms and stir. Meanwhile, in a mixing dish, add a cup of water and one carton of Knorr Cream of Mushroom. After thoroughly incorporating the ingredients into the water, pour the mixture into the pan. Bring your meal to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes without the cover.

3. Lasting Details

Season your dish with salt and ground black pepper to finish this velvety beef with mushroom recipe. Remove from the heat, sprinkle with parsley, and voilà! Your dish is now ready to eat! Before serving, be sure to serve it over heated rice.

Here's a basic recipe for Creamy Beef with Mushroom:

Ingredients:

- 1 pound (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips

- 8 ounces (225g) mushrooms, sliced (commonly white or cremini mushrooms)

- 1 small onion, finely chopped

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 2 tablespoons butter or cooking oil

- 1 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup beef broth

- 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)

- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for thickening)

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or use fresh thyme if available)

- Salt and black pepper to taste

- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

- Cooked rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Sear the Beef:

   - Melt the butter (or heat the cooking oil) in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook until the sliced meat is browned on all sides, generally approximately 2-3 minutes. Set the steak aside after removing it from the pan.

2. Sauté the Onion and Garlic:

   - Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the same pan. Cook for approximately 2 minutes, or until the onion is transparent and the garlic is aromatic.

3. Add the Mushrooms:

   - Combine the cut mushrooms with the onion and garlic in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are soft and the liquid has evaporated.

4. Create the Creamy Sauce:

   - Stir the flour into the mushroom mixture until completely combined. This will aid in the thickening of the sauce.

   - Pour in the heavy cream, beef broth, and (if using) white wine. Stir constantly for about 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.

5. Return the Beef:

   - Add the dried thyme to the skillet with the grilled meat. Mix everything together until the meat is well covered with the creamy sauce.

6. Simmer and Season:

   - Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for an additional 5-7 minutes to enable the meat to finish cooking and absorb the sauce flavors.

   - Season the Creamy Beef with Mushroom to taste with salt and black pepper. Seasonings can be adjusted to your liking.

7. Serve:

   - Remove the pan from the heat after the beef has reached the appropriate level of doneness and the sauce has reached the correct consistency.

   - Serve the Creamy Mushroom Beef over cooked rice, spaghetti, or mashed potatoes.

   - To add color and taste, garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
