Short Rib Beef Stroganoff With Creme Fraiche And Caramelized Shallots Recipes

SHORT RIB BEEF STROGANOFF WITH CREME FRAICHE AND CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS

Steps:

• Heat a large, heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Toss the short rib cubes with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, ensuring each side is coated. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and half of the meat, browning on each side for 2 minutes. Remove the first half of the meat and add the second half, continuing to brown on each side. Remove the second half of the meat from the pan and deglaze with the red wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all of the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the beef stock, rosemary sprigs, garlic, and beef bones and return the meat to the pan, with all the collected juices. Bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered; once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover. Cook for approximately 1 hour, until the meat is tender. Remove the meat from the skillet and strain the broth mixture into a large measuring cup; you should have about 4 cups of liquid remaining. Allow to rest, undisturbed, for 15 minutes; this will allow the fat to separate from the broth. Skim off as much of the fat as possible, reserving the broth.
• While the beef cooks, prepare the caramelized shallots. In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat and add the shallots. Sprinkle generously with salt and allow to cook for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the shallots are a deep golden brown and softened. Reserve for serving.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and allow to cook, undisturbed, for 3 to 4 minutes. Once the mushrooms begin to release some of their liquid, sprinkle generously with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes more. Reserve for serving.
• In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat; once melted, add the flour, and cook, whisking frequently, for 1 minute. Slowly pour in the reserved broth, whisking constantly to remove any lumps, and bring to a boil. Continue to stir the sauce until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. If the sauce is too thin, you can add additional flour by the tablespoon by combining with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the warm sauce and adding to the pan, whisking constantly to ensure no lumps form. Add the crème fraiche and Dijon mustard and season to taste with salt and pepper. Return the mushrooms and beef to the pan and allow to simmer while you cook the pasta.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and add to the sauce, tossing to coat. Allow to cook together for 2 to 3 minutes more. When ready to serve, top each serving with a dollop of crème fraiche, a sprinkling of chives, freshly ground black pepper and the caramelized shallots.

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Heat Ground Black Pepper (to taste) in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Season Boneless Beef Short Ribs (3 pound) on all sides with Salt (to taste) and Olive Oil (3 tablespoon). Working in batches, sear short ribs on all sides until deeply and evenly browned, 2 to 3 minutes per edge.
• Remove ribs from pan and place in a dutch oven or roasting pan. Leave the oil in the skillet.
• Over medium-low heat, saute the Smoked Bacon (4 slice) until lightly crispy. Scoop bacon out into the short rib pan. Return skillet, with some oil still in it, to the stovetop.

• Add Red Wine (2 cup); heat to a simmer and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by half.
• Add Beef Stock (2 quart), Fresh Rosemary (1 sprig), and Fresh Thyme (1 sprig) and heat to boiling. Remove skillet from heat.
• Pour vegetables and liquid over the short ribs and bacon in the Dutch oven or roasting pan. Short ribs must be completely submerged in liquid. Cover pan with lid, or aluminum foil. Roast in the oven 2 1/2 to 3 hours until beef is very tender but still holds its shape.
• Remove from oven and cool for an hour at room temperature.
• Remove meat from pan and place on a cutting board. Pour everything else into a large colander, capturing all of the braising liquid. Set the braising liquid aside. Discard the vegetables.
• Strain the braising liquid through a mesh strainer into a large heavy skillet.
• Heat the reserved braising liquid over medium-high heat and simmer until liquid is reduced by half. While the braising liquid reduces, cut meat into bite-sized pieces. Place sliced meat and reduced braising liquid in a covered container and refrigerate overnight.
• In a large, heavy skillet over medium-low heat, cook Smoked Bacon (0.5 pound) until lightly crispy. Remove bacon and reserve; leave rendered fat in pan.
• Saute Yellow Onion (1) in the bacon fat until lightly caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Add Mushroom (1 pound) and sauté 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will release their moisture during this quick sauté.
• Add Garlic (6 clove) and sauté for 1 minute.
• Add Dry Sherry (1 cup) and deglaze pan; reduce liquid by half.
• Add reserved the braised short ribs and cooked bacon pieces, Stone Ground Mustard (3 tablespoon), Fresh Thyme Leaves (1 tablespoon), and Fresh Rosemary (2 tablespoon).
