Ingredients for Beef With Vegetables And Sour Cream

  • Lean Ground Beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 500g potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 200g turnip, peeled and cubed
  • Carrots
  • Celery Ribs
  • Caraway Seed
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Ground Pepper
  • 200g sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Beef With Vegetables And Sour Cream

  1. Season beef cubes generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Return beef to the skillet. Add potatoes, turnip, carrots, celery, caraway seeds, and paprika. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of beef broth (or water). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and flour until smooth.
  7. Gently stir the sour cream mixture into the skillet. Heat through, stirring constantly, ensuring the sauce doesn't boil.
  8. Serve immediately from the skillet, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy with a side salad and warm bread!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
