Step 3: Pour and Cook

Tips for Best Results
- Beef Cuts: You can use stew meat, chuck roast cubes, or sirloin tips—just make sure the pieces are bite-sized for even cooking.
- Make it richer: Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a dash of smoked paprika to deepen the flavor.
- Don’t skip the sour cream! It adds tanginess and creaminess that takes the sauce to the next level.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of beef broth if needed to loosen the sauce.
