Sensational Seafood Stroganoff

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.

STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the meat and onions for 10 minutes, or until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika. Then add the mushroom soup, mix well and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add the sour cream, stirring well and allowing to heat through. Cover and set this mixture aside.
• Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain the water from the noodles and pour the meat mixture over the noodles.

SEAFOOD STROGANOFF

Steps:

• 1. Heat 4 - 6 Tbsp. of olive oil in stockpot
• 2. Stir in mushrooms, onion, shrimp, clams and scallops.
• 3. Cook until seafood is tender. Remove from heat.
• 4. Stir in crab.
• 5. Transfer seafood to bowl, leaving seafood juices in stockpot.
• 6. Add remaining oil to pot. Whisk in flour and half of the Vanilla Almond Breeze
• 7. Cook over low heat, whisking continuously, 4 - 5 minutes
• 8. Whisk in all remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer over low heat cooking 5 - 6 minutes. Add seafood to sauce mixture. Adjust spices.
• 9. Gently simmer an additional 5 - 6 minutes, stirring often. Add wine if desired.
• 10. Serve in puff pastry shells, over pasta or over rice. Surimi can be substituted for crab. Use any good quality white, firm fish instead of any of the above seafood. NOTE, I served it over linguini pasta and angel hair pasta and it was good over both. I have not served it over rice or in a puff pastry but I think the puff pastry would make a nice presentation. I also used pre-cooked dungeness crab because I could not find raw crab meat in our area. I just bought a dungeness crab and had them crack and clean it for me then I picked the meat out and froze what I didn't use in this recipe.

SHRIMP & SCALLOP STROGANOFF

• Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet, and stir in shrimp and scallops; cook, turning, until the shrimp are pink, about 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove shrimp and scallops, and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, black pepper, and clam juice.
• Pour clam juice mixture into the skillet, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until mixture thickens. Reduce heat to low, and stir in sour cream. Return mushrooms, shrimp, and scallops to the skillet; mix in sherry, and cook to heat through. Sprinkle with parsley.
