- 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
- 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
- Stir in the garlic with a little salt and pepper for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. 2:35
- Add the cream cheese, sour cream, Dijon, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and stock and stir until smooth. 3:08
- 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.
