Mushroom And Burgundy Stew Recipes

BURGUNDY BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put a large, heavy-bottomed, ovenproof pot over medium heat and add the bacon. Cook until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the pot and reserve for serving.
• Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Turn up the heat under the pot to medium high and brown the beef on all sides in batches, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove the meat from the pot and set aside. If there is a lot of oil left, pour off all but 2 tablespoons.
• Add the onion, celery and finely chopped carrot to the pot and cook until the vegetables begin to wilt, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, flour and garlic and cook for another minute or 2. Pour in the wine, whisking to combine, and bring to a boil. Add the mushrooms, pearl onions and 1-inch carrot pieces. Return the beef to the pot. Pour in enough broth to just cover the meat and bring to a simmer. Cover and put into the oven. Cook until the beef is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Skim off any excess fat from the top of the stew and serve garnished with parsley and the reserved bacon.

MUSHROOM STEW

Steps:

• Place dried mushrooms in a small bowl with enough hot water to cover; let stand 20 minutes. Drain mushrooms; reserve liquid.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat and cook and stir onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; stir in garlic, thyme, and cloves and cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir fresh mushrooms and soaked dried mushrooms into onion mixture; cook and stir until mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir tomatoes and reserved mushroom liquid into mushroom mixture; simmer over low heat until thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Bring vegetable stock to a boil; whisk in polenta. Cook polenta, whisking constantly, until polenta is thick and stock is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Divide polenta into 4 bowls; ladle mushroom stew over polenta and garnish with fresh parsley.

MUSHROOM BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons butter or oil to a large Dutch oven or pot and set it over medium heat. When the fat is hot, stir in half the mushrooms and half the pearl onions. (If it doesn't all fit in the pot in one layer, you might have to do this in three batches, rather than two.) Without moving them around too much, cook the mushrooms until they are brown on one side, about 3 minutes. Stir and let them brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes more. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mushrooms and onions to a large bowl or plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat with another 2 tablespoons butter and the remaining mushrooms and pearl onions, seasoning them as you go.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add another 1 tablespoon butter or oil to pan. Add leeks and carrot and sauté until the leeks turn lightly golden and start to soften, 5 minutes. Add the 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute longer. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then add wine, broth, 1 tablespoon tamari, thyme and bay leaf, scraping up the brown bits at bottom of pot.
• Add reserved cooked mushrooms and pearl onions back to the pot and bring to a simmer. Partly cover the pot and simmer on low heat until carrots and onions are tender and sauce is thick, 30 to 40 minutes. Taste and add more salt and tamari if needed. Stir in the grated garlic clove.
• Just before serving, heat a small skillet over high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon butter or oil. Add half of the sliced chanterelles or oyster mushrooms and let cook without moving until they are crisp and brown on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with salt and smoked paprika. Repeat with remaining butter and mushrooms. Serve mushroom Bourguignon over polenta, noodles or mashed potatoes, topped with fried mushrooms and parsley.

PERFECT STEAK & BURGUNDY MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Take the steak(s) out of the refrigerator 45 minutes before cooking time. Pat the steak dry on both sides with paper towels. Drying them is very important to getting that good crust that you want on the outside.
• Sprinkle both sides of the steak liberally with salt, pepper, garlic powder and any other seasonings you might like on your steak. Let the steak rest at room temp for 45 minutes on a cutting board. This time is crucial to let the seasoning permeate the meat and draw some of the moisture toward the surface. After 45 minutes, pat both sides of the steak dry with paper towels again. Don't worry if some of the seasoning comes off, as most of the flavor in already soaked into the meat.
• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Using a deep cast iron skillet, place it on high heat until it is very hot. To the hot pan, add the peanut oil. Once the oil is very hot, use tongs to place your steak in the pan. Be careful not to splatter yourself with hot oil.
• Cook the steak for 2 minutes on one side, then carefully flip. Add the butter and sprigs of thyme to the pan and spoon the melted butter over the surface of the steak for another 2 minutes.
• Place the skillet in the hot oven for about 2 minutes. Then check the temperature with a meat thermometer. The center of the steak should read 120 degrees for medium rare. Continue to cook in the oven until 120 degrees is reached. Don't skip this step; as with pork chops, finishing the cooking in a hot oven helps to make the meat more tender and juicy.
• Turn off the oven and remove the steak from the pan and place it on a clean cutting board to rest for 15 minutes. Resting is extremely important because it allows the juices to move away from the outside and back into the center of the meat. DO NOT cut the meat until it is rested. Once rested, plate the steak and spoon some of the butter and thyme mixture over the steak.
• While the steak is resting, return the skillet with the pan drippings to the stove and add the onion soup, mushrooms with one can of mushroom juice, and wine to the skillet. Cook on medium high heat, stirring constantly to get the pan juices and brown bits off the bottom of the skillet. Continue cooking at a boil until the sauce reduces down to a thin gravy. This should take 10-15 minutes and be ready when your steak is done resting! Serve mushrooms either on top, or on the side of the steak.
• TIPS:.
• Choose a bone-in Ribeye or Top Sirloin or Filet, and be sure the label says USDA Choice or Prime cut. A cut labeled Select will not give you a good result. Your steak should have a nice marbling of fat throughout.
• DO NOT use regular table salt, it will be too salty. Kosher salt or sea salt works great.
• If you can't find whole button mushrooms in a can or jar, you can use sliced. I have tried using fresh mushrooms, but the flavor is not the same. If you do use fresh mushrooms, you may want to blanch them first to preserve color and texture.
• If you don't have French Onion soup, you can use a can of beef broth or stock, and a small onion, diced. Simmer the beef broth and onions for 15 minutes before continuing with the normal instructions.
• Cast iron is perfect for this because of how well it conducts an even heat. If you don't own at least one good cast iron skillet, consider investing in one. It really does make a difference. If you don't have one, you can use a regular skillet, just make sure it's large enough to fit the whole steak and deep enough to avoid splattering oil on you. Also make sure it is oven safe, because finishing the steak in the pan in a hot oven is very important.
• When you slice your steak, be sure to cut across the grain, and slice through in one motion without sawing at the meat. Sawing makes the meat tough.
• Enjoy!

CREAMY MUSHROOM STEW

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in onions and carrot and cook for about 3 minutes. Add mushrooms, stirring occasionally, and cook for about another 5 minutes. Stir in the peas, garlic, and thyme. Keep cooking until the moisture from the mushrooms starts to evaporate, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in the beef broth, sherry, soy sauce, and tomato paste until well combined. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
• Pour heavy cream over the mushroom mixture, and season with salt and pepper. Stir until well combined and mixture starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. If stew is too thick, add a little beef broth. If too thin, allow to cook down for a while longer until you arrive at your desired consistency.
• Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
