Description
A delicious one-pan recipe featuring tender beef, savory mushrooms, and cheesy tortellini in a rich, tangy cream sauce for the ultimate comfort meal.
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb lean ground beef or thinly sliced sirloin steak
1 large onion, chopped
8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 (9 oz) package dried or fresh tortellini (cheese or meat-filled)
1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. If using sirloin, sear quickly until browned on all sides. Drain excess fat and remove beef from skillet; set aside.
Step 2: Add chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Step 3: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in the beef broth and milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Step 4: Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Return the cooked beef to the skillet. Add the tortellini to the simmering sauce, ensuring it's mostly submerged. Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortellini is al dente, stirring occasionally.
Step 5: Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not bring back to a boil after adding sour cream, as it may curdle.
Step 6: Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving hot.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine after the mushrooms have browned, letting it reduce before adding the flour. If you prefer a richer sauce, you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
