Serving suggestion: Serve this dish alongside crusty bread or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. It also pairs well with a dollop of sour cream for added creaminess.
Storing: Allow the dish to cool completely before transferring it into an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze leftovers in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply warm it up in a pot on low heat, adding a little extra broth or milk to maintain the creamy texture.
Variants:
Vegetarian version: Swap the beef for mushrooms or plant-based protein (like lentils or tempeh). Use vegetable broth and omit the cream for a lighter, vegan-friendly version.
Cheesy twist: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the dish before serving or add it in during the last few minutes of simmering for a rich, cheesy variation.
Spicy: Add a diced chili pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes to give the dish a little heat. Pair it with a cooling yogurt-based sauce on the side.
Slow Cooker version: For a more hands-off approach, transfer all ingredients (except milk and cream) into a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, then stir in the milk or cream before serving.
FAQ:
Can I use a different cut of beef?
