Beef Stroganoff For Forty Food

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.

BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick frying pan then add 1 sliced onion and cook on a medium heat until completely softened, around 15 mins, adding a little splash of water if it starts to stick.
• Crush in 1 garlic clove and cook for 2-3 mins more, then add 1 tbsp butter.
• Once the butter is foaming a little, add 250g sliced mushrooms and cook for around 5 mins until completely softened.
• Season everything well, then tip onto a plate.
• Tip 1 tbsp plain flour into a bowl with a big pinch of salt and pepper, then toss 500g sliced fillet steak in the seasoned flour.
• Add the steak pieces to the pan, splashing in a little oil if the pan looks dry, and fry for 3-4 mins, until well coloured.
• Tip the onions and mushrooms back into the pan. Whisk 150g crème fraîche, 1 tsp English mustard and 100ml beef stock together, then stir into the pan.
• Cook over a medium heat for around 5 mins.
• Scatter with some chopped parsley, and serve with pappardelle or rice.

THE ULTIMATE BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Slice the steak into 2"x1"x1/4" pieces. Heat oil in large skillet and brown beef in single layer (make two batches if necessary). Remove beef from pan and keep warm. It's important to remove the beef as soon as it's lightly browned - don't worry about cooking through, because it will cook through when returned to the sauce.
• In same pan, saute onions, mushrooms, and garlic. Cover if necessary to keep pan from drying out. When vegetables are tender, deglaze pan with chicken broth and wine. Reduce heat to low. Add worchestershire sauce, ketchup, pepper and parsley. Stir, and taste sauce for salt - you probably won't need any due to the salt in the other ingredients. Return beef to skillet, and stir to combine.
• Place sour cream in a small bowl, and add 3 T. of the hot pan sauce, one tablespoon at a time. This warms and thins the cream so it doesn't curdle when added to the pan. Meantime, the sauce in the pan should have reduced, and just barely coats the beef and mushrooms.
• Add the sour cream mixture to the pan, and stir to combine. Sometimes, the sauce will look a bit "grainy" at this point - just increase the heat and reduce a little, and it'll become creamy again.
• Serve over rice or noodles.

BEST HOME-STYLE BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Slice beef into very thin strips and season with ½ teaspoon each salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add ½ of the beef in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, about 1 minute. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining olive oil and beef.
• Fill a large pot with water and set over high heat on another burner.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it starts to release its juices, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and ½ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until tender and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute.
• Whisk in 2 cups beef broth and mustard and bring to a simmer, scraping the browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add more broth if necessary as sauce thickens. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and add reserved beef and any drippings. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, while you cook the pasta.
• Add egg noodles and remaining 1 teaspoon salt to the boiling water. Boil until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain noodles and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon butter.
• Add sour cream to the sauce, a little at a time, stirring swiftly to incorporate. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
• Ladle sauce over egg noodles and garnish with parsley.
