BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat (in batches if necessary) and cook, stirring occasionally (or turning) for 3 minutes, until the meat is browned on all or at least most sides. Transfer to a plate and pour off any remaining fat from the pan.
• Return the pan to medium-high heat. Melt 1 more tablespoon of the butter, then add the shallots and cook, stirring often, until they are slightly soft, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and thyme leaves, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for another 7 minutes until tender and lightly browned, and the mushroom juices evaporate. Add the cooked mushrooms to the beef on the plate.
• Return the pan once more to medium high heat (don't clean the pan!) Add the third tablespoon of butter and when it is melted, stir in the flour. Stir for about 2 minutes until the flour turns golden brown. Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Return the meat and mushrooms, along with any accumulated juices, to the pan. Add the sour cream, mustard and paprika, stir to blend, and remove from the heat.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook for 8 or 9 minutes, or according to package directions, until tender. Drain and transfer to a shallow serving bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and toss until the butter melts and coats the noodles.
• Pour the stroganoff mixture over the hot noodles, and sprinkle over the parsley. Serve hot.

CAULIFLOWER TACOS WITH SPICY SRIRACHA BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• For the cauliflower: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cauliflower and cook until it begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chili powder, garlic salt and oregano. Cook another 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the salsa and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cook until the liquid has been mostly absorbed by the cauliflower, about 5 minutes.
• For the black beans: In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and saute until tender and translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the black beans with their liquid and the sriracha. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Simmer on low for about 10 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to gently mash the beans, leaving some texture.
• For the tacos: Build the tacos with the tortillas, black beans, cauliflower and desired toppings.

KATIE LEE'S BEEF STROGANOFF RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix the garlic powder with 1 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Pat the beef dry with paper towels and toss to coat in the garlic powder mixture. Add 1/3 cup flour and toss again. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium- high. Working in batches, add the beef in a single layer, spacing 1/2 inch apart, and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until the onion starts to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the cognac and cook, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pot, about 1 minute. Return the meat to the pot and add the stock. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beef is almost tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Transfer 1 cup stock from the pot to a small bowl. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons flour and whisk until smooth. Add the mixture back to the pot. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms to the beef mixture. Simmer until the meat is tender, about 30 minutes longer. Stir in the sour cream; season. Place the egg noodles in a serving dish; top with the beef mixture. Garnish with the chives.

BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• For the buttered egg noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• For the beef stroganoff: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Add half the meat to the pan and brown it quickly. Remove the first batch and cook the rest of the meat. Remove and set aside with the first batch.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and cook the mushrooms, carrots and onions until lightly browned. Turn off the heat and add the brandy and 2 cups of the stock. Turn the heat back on and reduce the liquid for 2 to 3 minutes. Mix the cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup stock, getting out all the lumps. Pour the slurry into the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens.
• Turn off the heat. Stir in the sour cream, mustard and beef. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• To finish the noodles, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cooked egg noodles and toss to heat through and coat with the butter.
• Serve the stroganoff with the noodles, and sprinkle with the parsley.

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.

CHICKEN STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the stove, add the olive oil and increase the heat to medium high. Add the chicken, working in batches if necessary, and cook until it begins to brown on each side, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soup mix and cooked mushrooms. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the broth is thickened to a gravy, about 7 minutes. Stir in the sour cream.
• Serve over egg noodles with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh chives.

BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Season the beef generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the flour evenly over the meat.
• Heat the olive oil in a large heavy saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef in a single layer without crowding the pan (work in 2 batches if necessary) and cook, turning, until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and reserve.
• Add the beer to the pan and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring the liquid to a boil and cook until it is reduced by half; return the beef to the pot and add the potatoes, onions, carrots, celery stalk, broth and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a very low simmer, cover and cook until the beef is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• In a small bowl, mash the butter with the remaining 3 tablespoons flour until smooth. While whisking the liquid, drop small pieces of the butter paste into the stew, whisking until each piece dissolves. Continue adding the butter paste until it is used up and completely dissolved into the stew. Add the peas and continue cooking until the stew is thickened and the peas are cooked, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper (about 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper).
• Ladle the stew into individual bowls and garnish with the chopped celery leaves and sliced scallions, if using.
