Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s kick off this delicious journey by first cooking our ground beef. In a large skillet over medium heat, I add the ground beef, onion, and garlic. I like to break up the meat with my wooden spoon as it cooks. After about 5-7 minutes, the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Next, I sprinkle in the flour, stirring to combine. This step is crucial as it helps thicken the gravy later on. I let it cook for another minute to ensure the flour doesn’t taste raw. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
