Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup diced onion
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika, and beaten egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Place the beef mixture on a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
3. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Carefully transfer the shaped beef mixture to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
4. Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
5. Meanwhile, in the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are tender and lightly golden.
6. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to combine. Cook for another minute.
7. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens.
8. Stir in the heavy cream and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Slice the cooked beef into pinwheel shapes and arrange them on a serving platter. Pour the mushroom sauce over the pinwheels, making sure to cover them completely.
10. Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
