Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add ground beef and cook, breaking into small crumbles, until browned and cooked through (8-10 minutes), then drain excess fat.
2. Step 2: Reduce heat to medium, add remaining 1 tbsp butter, then add diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and softened. Stir in minced garlic and mushrooms, cooking for 5 minutes until mushrooms release liquid and become tender.
3. Step 3: Whisk in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, then bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.
4. Step 4: Stir in sour cream and chopped dill, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2 more minutes until heated through without boiling.
5. Step 5: Microwave cauliflower rice in a covered bowl with a damp paper towel for 5 minutes until tender, or sauté in a dry skillet for 4 minutes until heated through.
6. Step 6: Serve beef stroganoff over warm cauliflower rice, garnishing with extra dill if desired.
