Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Additional herbs for garnish (optional)

How to Make Savory Beef Pudding with Creamy Sauce

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round baking dish or individual ramekins for serving.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, beef broth, and remaining melted butter. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.
4. Fold the sautéed beef and onions into the batter along with the chopped parsley and thyme. Mix until evenly combined.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pudding is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. While the pudding is baking, prepare the creamy herb sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-low heat. Stir in additional herbs, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Remove the pudding from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with the creamy herb sauce and garnish with additional herbs if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the beef is well-browned for maximum flavor.
• Don’t skip the herbs; they add freshness that balances the richness of the pudding.
• Allow the pudding to rest before slicing to maintain its shape.
• Experiment with different herbs like chives or dill for varied flavors.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add cheese to the pudding mixture for a cheesy twist.
• Incorporate vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.

What to Serve With It

• A crisp green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
• Roasted seasonal vegetables for a colorful plate.
• Mashed potatoes or garlic bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
• A glass of red wine for a perfect pairing.
