BEEF STROGANOFF W/EGG NOODLES BY CHEF JEAN-PIERRE

Steps:

• In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and add as many meat cubes as you can without crowding (if the skillet is too crowded, the meat won't brown properly.) Brown the meat well on all sides, remove each batch as it browns and set them aside. It may be necessary to add a little more olive oil.
• When all of the beef has been browned and removed, add the onions to the remaining juices in the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown. Add the mushrooms and cook until they have released most of their water. Sprinkle the mushrooms with the flour, add the garlic, the remainder of the ingredients except for the sour cream and the chives. Add the beef cubes back to the pot. Bring to boil, reduce to low heat, cover and cook for about 2½ to 3 hours or until the beef is very tender.
• In a small glass bowl, add the sour cream. Add a couple spoon of the hot sauce to temper. Remove the pot from the heat and just before serving, add the tempered sour cream and sprinkle with chopped chives.

HOMEMADE BEEF STOCK FOR PIERRE SCHAEDELIN'S BRAISED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add bones and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add onion, carrot, celery, and garlic; cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
• Add 10 cups of water and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 1 1/2 hours. Skim surface and strain stock before using.

CHEF JOHN'S SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• Combine beef, black pepper, dry mustard, ketchup, Worcestershire, soy sauce, egg, cayenne, and bread crumbs in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or your hands to stir the ingredients until very evenly distributed.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
• While the meat is resting, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick pan over high heat; add mushrooms, onions, and a pinch of salt. Saute, stirring occasionally, until very nicely browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add flour. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.
• Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and beef broth; increase heat to high. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the gravy thickens slightly and reduces, about 10 minutes. Taste and adjust salt as needed. Transfer to a glass measuring cup, scraping the pan clean with a spatula, and reserve.
• Remove meat from the refrigerator and divide into 4 equal portions. Moisten hands and form into oval patties, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides of the patties lightly with salt.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in the previously used nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Pour in gravy and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until gravy is piping hot, and the meat is just cooked through and springs back lightly when touched, about 5 minutes.
