Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet with about 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Add the ground beef, onion, and garlic and cook until there is no pink remaining. Stir in the flour and butter and cook for another 3 minutes (this will also cook off the “raw” flavor of the flour). Stir in the thyme, sage, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper, ground porcini mushrooms (if using), bouillon base, and Worcestershire sauce.  Add the beef broth and heavy cream and bring it to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Cover and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice or buttermilk biscuits, sprinkled with some parsley.
