Beef Short Rib Stroganoff With Buttered Noodles And Lemon Creme Fraiche 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.

BEEF STROGANOFF OVER BUTTERED NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the beef stock with the carrot, 3 thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet over high heat. Fry the meat in batches so that it is browned on all sides. Lower the heat to medium and return all the meat to the pot. Add the onions and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the cognac and cook until the alcohol has burned off, about 5 minutes. Add the beef stock, discarding the carrot, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Cook, partially covered, over a very low flame for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and remaining 3 thyme sprigs and cook until the mushrooms are browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
• When the meat is done, remove it from the heat and fold in the mushrooms, sour cream, mustard, and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain the noodles well, toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the stroganoff over the noodles; garnish with more sour cream and chopped parsley.

BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Cut the beef against the grain into 1/2-inch slices, pound lightly, then cut those slices into 1-inch-wide strips.
• Add the flour, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper to a large shallow bowl and toss to combine. Dredge the strips of meat in the flour mixture, shake them to remove excess flour, then transfer them to a rimmed baking sheet.
• Place a large skillet over high heat and swirl in the oil. When the oil begins to shimmer, sauté the beef slices, in two batches, until they are well browned on both sides but rare inside, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Transfer the seared meat to the baking sheet. Turn the heat down slightly.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the butter to the pan. When it has melted and started to foam, add the mushrooms, toss to coat them with the fat, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are a deep, dark brown, 12 to 15 minutes. About halfway into the process, add the sliced shallots and 1 tablespoon butter and stir to combine.
• While the mushrooms cook, add the noodles to the boiling water, and cook until just done, about 10 minutes. Drain the noodles, and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Set aside.
• When the mushrooms and shallots are soft and caramelized, deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping at all the stuck-on bits on the pan's surface. When the wine has reduced by about half, slowly stir in the cream, followed by the Worcestershire and mustard. Add the meat, along with any accumulated juices, and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the dish is hot and the beef is medium-rare, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste, and adjust the seasonings.
• Serve the noodles under or alongside the stroganoff; sprinkle stroganoff with parsley.
