  1. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, breaking it up, for 6–7 minutes until browned. Set it aside on a plate. 0:07
  2. Add another tablespoon of butter and the mushrooms and cook, stirring now and then, until their liquid has evaporated and they are golden brown; add the last tablespoon of butter if the pan looks dry. 1:49
  3. Stir in the garlic with a little salt and pepper for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. 2:35
  4. Add the cream cheese, sour cream, Dijon, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and stock and stir until smooth. 3:08
  5. Simmer for a minute or two, then fold the beef back in and scatter with parsley. Serve over cauliflower mash or cauliflower rice. 3:52

Tip. Serves 4 (our estimate; the video doesn't say). Creamed spinach is the cook's pick of side. Keeps 3–4 days in the fridge.

Vitamin B12 High103%

2.5 µg a serve, mostly from ground beef (91%). Keeps nerves and blood cells healthy. Found almost only in animal foods and fortified foods (some plant milks, nutritional yeast), so vegans need a reliable source.

Selenium High71%

39 µg a serve, mostly from ground beef (47%). Part of the body's antioxidant enzymes and needed for thyroid hormones. Seafood, eggs, meat and Brazil nuts are rich sources.

3.5 mg a serve, mostly from ground beef (64%). Carries oxygen in your blood. Iron from plants absorbs better with vitamin C in the same meal — lemon, tomato or capsicum.

Vitamin K Source16%

20 µg a serve, mostly from parsley (83%). Needed for blood clotting and bones. Leafy greens and herbs are very rich in it. If you take warfarin, keep your intake steady and talk to your doctor.

Omega-3 Source16%

0.3 g a serve, mostly from ground beef (40%). Omega-3 fats support the heart and brain. Oily fish give EPA and DHA; walnuts, flax, chia and canola give ALA, which the body converts only a little.

Vitamin C6%

5.6 mg a serve, mostly from mushrooms (64%). An antioxidant needed for collagen, immunity and iron absorption. Long cooking destroys some, so raw herbs, citrus and capsicum help.

Vitamin E6%

Vitamin D4%

0.8 µg a serve, mostly from mushrooms (45%). Helps you absorb calcium for bones and supports muscles. Few foods have much — oily fish, eggs, UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milks. Sunlight is the main source.
