A comforting and creamy creamed beef recipe perfect for cozy evenings, made with simple ingredients and ready in about 25 minutes. This dish offers a rich, velvety sauce combined with savory beef for a warm, indulgent meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) ground beef (85% lean)
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240ml) whole milk or 2%
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break apart with a spatula. Cook until fully browned with no pink spots, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon for richness.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in the butter. Let it melt completely, coating the beef, about 2 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle the flour evenly over the beef and butter mixture. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes until the flour is fully incorporated and smells slightly nutty.
  4. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Then add the heavy cream. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes silky, about 5 minutes. Add a splash more milk if the sauce becomes too thick.
  5. Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce if using. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Simmer the sauce gently on low heat for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to meld flavors and thicken further. Watch carefully to prevent scorching.
  7. Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped parsley on top, and serve immediately over toasted bread, biscuits, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Do not rush the roux step to avoid raw flour taste or lumps. Leave a tablespoon of fat from the beef for richness. Pour milk slowly while whisking to prevent lumps. Simmer gently to avoid scorching. Adjust seasoning after sauce thickens. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. To lighten, replace half the heavy cream with Greek yogurt.
