In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter over medium heat. Sauté the onion until translucent.
- 4
Add the diced tomato and bell pepper. Pour in the water and let simmer for 4 minutes to build a light sauce.

Return the beef to the skillet, stir to combine, and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the cream until the sauce is smooth and velvety. Serve immediately.
💡 Chef's Tip
Serve over white rice or fresh egg noodles. For extra richness, use full-fat sour cream. Avoid boiling after adding the cream to prevent it from splitting.
