Learn how to make delicious Creamy Beef Dinner Recipe. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups cooked pasta (penne or fusilli work well)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Feel free to substitute ground turkey for beef if you prefer a lighter option or use vegetable broth for a different flavor profile.

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in the beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Fold in the cooked pasta, ensuring it’s well-coated with the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and incorporated.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

My abuela always said that the key to a great dish is patience, and this recipe is no exception. Allowing the sauce to thicken naturally enhances the flavors beautifully.
