Beef in Cream Sauce
Juicy, tender beef in a silky cream gravy. I've loved beef with all kinds of sauces and gravies since I was a kid, and here's another good one for the collection. I always make about 1.5 to 2 times more gravy than called for. Mashed potatoes and pasta are ideal on the side. If you like, add a sliced onion while you sear the meat.
Cooking method
-
Step 1:
How do you make beef in cream sauce? Gather the ingredients.
-
Step 2:
Wash the beef, pat it dry, and cut it into small pieces.
-
Step 3:
Add the meat to a hot skillet, season with salt and pepper, and sprinkle with a little caraway if you like.
-
Step 4:
Sear the beef quickly in the sunflower oil, about 3 minutes, to lock in its juices.
-
Step 5:
Now make the sauce.
-
Step 6:
Stir the potato starch into a little cold water.
-
Step 7:
In a saucepan, combine the sour cream and cream. Stirring, bring the mixture to a gentle boil over low heat.
-
Step 8:
Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
-
Step 9:
Pour in the dissolved starch. Cook the sauce over low heat until it thickens.
-
Step 10:
Add the cream sauce and the tomato sauce to the skillet with the beef.
-
Step 11:
Stir well.
-
Step 12:
Cover and simmer the beef for about 40 minutes. If the sauce thickens too much before the beef is tender, add a splash of water and keep simmering.
- Every oil is good only up to a certain temperature—its smoke point—beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Choose an oil suited to the heat you're cooking at, and use a refined oil for searing.
- Note: the wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe, so pick a skillet that suits the dish.
