Fall is here! Cozy Garlic Beef & Mushroom Bowls
Ingredients:
-
2 lbs chuck roast, cut into 1½-inch chunks
• 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp butter, divided
• 2 cups beef broth
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• ½ tsp rosemary
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt to taste
• Plenty of cracked black pepper
• Red pepper flakes, optional
• Chopped parsley for finishing
Instructions:
Choose your favorite vegetable base:
🥦 Roasted cauliflower
🥬 Sautéed cabbage
🌿 Green beans
🥦 Broccoli
Season the beef generously with salt, cracked black pepper, and garlic powder.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches so the pieces have room to get those gorgeous dark edges. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan.
Add the onions and mushrooms and cook until the onions soften and the mushrooms are nicely browned.
Stir in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Your kitchen should smell ridiculous by now. 😂
Return the beef to the pan. Pour in the beef broth and add the thyme, rosemary, and optional red pepper flakes. Bring everything to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for approximately 1½–2 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.
Once the beef is tender, stir in the heavy cream.
Leave the pan uncovered and gently simmer for another 10–15 minutes until the sauce becomes rich and slightly thickened.
Taste it. Then taste it again because we both know you were going to anyway. 😂 Adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
Start with your roasted or sautéed vegetables.
Pile that tender beef, mushrooms, and onions over the top, spoon plenty of that creamy garlic sauce over everything, and finish with chopped parsley and another crack of black pepper.
