Beef Stroganoff N Irish Beer Farfalle Pasta Recipes

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 N IRISH BEER & FARFALLE PASTA

Steps:

• 1. If you do not purchase the meat already cut into strips, then you will need to use a VERY sharp knife to do so. TIP: If you partially freeze the meat, it will be much easier to cut into thin strips. I made both chunks and strips. Remove excess fat. You can cut recipe in half if desired.
• 2. Partial list of the main ingredients in the recipe. I wanted to use snow peas, but ended up using sugar snap peas.
• 3. Add the seven spices to a small bowl.
• 4. Blend throughly together before sprinkling over meat.
• 5. Season meat with spice blend and allow to marinate at least 15 minutes, this will enhance the flavors of the meat
• 6. Then add flour and coat meat evenly.
• 7. Slice onions and separate rings and combine with sliced mushrooms. Then add a tablespoon of butter and a tablespoon of oil to a large skillet, I used a 16 inch skillet, heat over medium high heat, then add sliced onions and mushrooms, and sauté till crisp tender, then remove from skillet and set aside, till needed.
• 8. Next add 3 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of oil, heat till hot and add enough of the meat to cover the bottom of the skillet and cook till browned on all sides, then remove to a large platter. Repeat adding more butter and oil if needed,& cook until all of the meat has been cooked.
• 9. Now return all of the meat to the skillet adding the cooked onion/mushroom mixture. Then turn heat to medium high, add the worcestershire sauce, & the beer,(CAN USE HALF BEEF BROTH OR CONSUMME IF DESIRED) stir , cover and reduce heat and allow to simmer for 15 minutes, then remove lid. I AM ONLY SHOWING ONE BUT HAD TO ADD TWO.
• 10. While meat is simmering cook pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Drain in a colander, and rinse. Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil or butter and stir to mix together to prevent pasta from sticking together.
• 11. In the mean time cook the frozen or fresh sugar snap peas according to package directions and set aside.
• 12. In a medium size bowl combine the sour cream and heavy whipping cream together and whisk together until creamy. Turn fire off on meat mixture, then add the sour cream mixture to skillet and stir to blend.
• 13. Serve sauce over noodles with sugar snap peas, or make a beautiful presentation as I did by lining the outer edge of the platter with the sugar snap peas, then carefully add pasta on top, and top pasta with a generous amount of meat sauce. Add chopped red bell peppers at the base of the pasta & serve.
