Beef Stroganoff For Forty Recipes

THE BEST BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Season the beef with 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, untouched, until starting to turn brown in some spots, about 1 minute. Use tongs to flip the pieces and continue cooking until deep golden brown but still undercooked in the center, about 1 minute (the beef will finish cooking in the sauce). Transfer the beef to a bowl and return the skillet to the stovetop on medium-high.
• Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally to scrape up the browned bits in the pan, until the onions are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons butter, the button mushrooms, shiitakes and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally scraping up any browned bits, until the mushrooms have released some liquid and are starting to crisp up, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until incorporated. Fold in the sour cream, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Pour in the beef broth and stir until smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, while the sauce reduces, cook the egg noodles according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the chopped parsley and chives.
• Fold the beef and any accumulated juices from the bowl into the sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through but still slightly pink on the inside, about 1 minute.
• Divide the noodles between 4 bowls and top with the sauce and beef. Sprinkle with more chives, if desired.

WORLD'S BEST BEEF STROGANOFF RECIPE

Steps:

• Use your fist (or rolling pin or mallet) to flatten the steaks to about 3/4cm / 1/3 thick. Slice into 5mm / 1/5 strips (cut long ones in half), discarding excess fat. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Begin by cooking the steak in a sauté pan until it is nice and browned. Scatter half the beef in the skillet, quickly spread it with tongs. Leave untouched for 30 seconds until browned. Turn beef quickly (as best you can!). Leave untouched for 30 seconds to brown. Immediately remove onto a plate. In a large skillet, quickly brown them on both sides in the olive oil and butter. Don't worry about pink bits and that it will be raw inside. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil and repeat with remaining beef. Sprinkle the steak strips with House Seasoning, and then dust with flour.
• In the same sauté pan, cook mushrooms and onions in butter, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender; remove from skillet. Add the onion slices and mushrooms to the pan drippings.
• Add the mushroom soup and beef broth. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon flour. Whisk remaining flour with broth until smooth; stir into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Add beef, salt and remaining pepper. Put the steak back into the pan with the onion and mushrooms. Cook over low heat for about 30 minutes, covered.
• Stir in sour cream; heat until hot (do not boil). 1 minute simmering in the gravy is all it takes - the beef continues cooking in the residual heat when you take the skillet off the stove. Adjust seasoning to taste, adding salt and pepper, as needed. If desired, sprinkle with parsley and coarsely ground pepper. Serve over noodles or whatever sounds good, garnished with any of your desired toppings.
