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)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.

Step 4

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to brown.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the lean ground beef to the other side.

Step 6

Cook the beef for 7-8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink.

Step 7

Mix the beef with the mushrooms and onions, then stir in the Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Pour the beef broth into the skillet and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add this to the skillet, stirring well to thicken the sauce.

Step 10

Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Step 11

Sprinkle in the fresh thyme leaves and stir to combine.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
