Sometimes you just don't want to take forever to cook but you want to be really satisfied with something that was some "wow" in it. This is what I cook when I'm lazy...(which is often).... it doesn't taste lazy....you'll think there's a party in your mouth when you try it... feel free to interchange the beef with chicken, lamb, or even veggies...
Mushroom-Beef Patties with Mustard Cream Sauce
Ingredients:
2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 green onions, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Mustard-Wine Cream Sauce:
2/3 cup white wine
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons capers
Preparation:
Shape beef into 8 oval patties. Melt butter in large skillet and add oil.
Heat until foaming. Add green onions and sauté until softened; stir in garlic
and sauté for 30 seconds. Add beef patties and cook to desired degree of
doneness. Season with salt and pepper. Set beef patties aside to keep
warm on a hot platter.
In same skillet, sauté mushrooms until limp and add to the warm beef patties.
To prepare Mustard Cream Sauce, deglaze pan with dry white wine. Reduce
volume by half. Add Dijon mustard, heavy cream, tomato and capers. Heat
slowly until hot but do not boil.
Pour Mustard Cream Sauce over beef and mushrooms. Sprinkle parsley over
top to garnish, if desired.
