  2. Add 1/2 cup of dry white wine and 1 medium onion (thinly sliced).
  3. Cook until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef to the skillet and cook thoroughly, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned.
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Slowly pour in 1 1/2 cups of beef broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps.

  9. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream. Stir gently until combined and heated through (do not boil).
