Preparation:

1. Rinse the buffalo stew meat in a colander, and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. In a heavy stock pot over medium high heat, heat the pot, add the butter and then the stew meat, increasing the heat to high. Give the meat a quick stir to coat with the butter, and allow the meat to lightly brown, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the onions and stir in to incorporate. Continue cooking until the meat is browned and onions slightly tender.
4. Add in the mushrooms, garlic, salt, pepper & thyme, and stir to incorporate. Continue to cook for about 4 minutes.
5. Deglaze the pan with wine or sherry, scraping up the bits from the bottom of the pan.
6. Add the broth, Worcestershire and Dijon and stir to incorporate. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, or until the stew meat is tender.
7. Fold in the sour cream and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and parsley and stir to incorporate.
