Veal And Mushroom Ragout Recipes

ROAST BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the beef dry and season all over with salt and a generous amount of pepper. Add the oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to melt. Add the beef and sear until mahogany brown on all sides, about 8 minutes total.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125 degrees F for medium-rare, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the ragout: Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and spread them out evenly; increase the heat to high. Let the mushrooms cook, undisturbed, until browned, then shake the skillet to flip them over. Add the additional butter along the sides of the skillet as the mushrooms cook, if the skillet seems very dry. Continue to cook until nicely browned, about 5 minutes.
• Add the shallot and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2 minutes. Season the mushrooms with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some ground black pepper; add the thyme. Pull the skillet off the heat and add the Madeira. Return the skillet to the heat and scrape up any of the brown bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and keep warm.
• When the beef is ready, transfer to a cutting board, tent very loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Slice the beef across the grain crosswise, arrange on a platter and serve with the mushroom ragout.

VEAL RAGOUT WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOM

Steps:

• Place mushrooms in a bowl, cover with warm water and allow to soak 30 to 40 minutes, until softened.
• Heat oil in a heavy casserole. Add veal and brown lightly on all sides. Remove veal from the pan.
• Add fennel, onion and carrots to the casserole and saute over medium heat until tender. Stir in the garlic and cook a few seconds. Stir in the tomatoes and wine. Bring to a simmer and season with sage, salt and pepper. Return the veal to the casserole.
• Drain mushrooms, reserving the liquid. Cut off any tough stems. Add mushrooms and reserve liquid to the casserole. Cover and simmer over low heat until the veal is tender, about one-and-a-half hours. Taste for seasonings. Stir in enough of the tomato paste to lightly thicken the sauce. Continue cooking, uncovered, 15 minutes longer, then check seasonings again.
• Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley.

MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• Pour beef broth into a saucepan and add bouillon cube. Bring to a rapid boil over high heat for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer for at least 30 minutes. Set aside 3 tablespoons for ragout; store remaining broth in the refrigerator for another use.
• Heat a large pan over medium-high heat and add 1/2 teaspoon oil. Add portobello mushrooms and sear, 3 to 5 minutes. Set portabellos aside.
• Sear shiitake mushrooms over medium-high heat in the same pan without adding more oil, 3 to 5 minutes. Set shiitakes aside.
• Reheat the same pan over medium-high heat and add remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add garlic and cook until browned, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and wine; cook for 2 minutes. Add reserved beef broth and cook for 3 minutes.
• Stir portabello and shiitake mushrooms into the pan and cook, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in butter gently until ragout is coated. Top with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

BEEF AND MUSHROOM RAGOUT

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring the veal stock to a simmer and reduce it to 1/4 of its original volume, until 1 cup of syrupy liquid remains (this may take up to 45 minutes). Set aside.
• Prepare the spatzle as directed in the above recipe.
• Heat a large heavy skillet over high heat until it is very hot, and add the vegetable oil. Saute the beef strips, tossing frequently, for 2 minutes, or until seared. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, tossing, until they give up their liquid. Add the mustard, cream, salt, a generous amount of pepper, and the reduced veal stock. Stir to mix thoroughly and remove from the heat.
• Make a bed of the spatzle in each of 6 shallow heated bowls, top with a generous spoonful of the ragout and lots of sauce, and sprinkle a few scallions over each.

PAPPARDELLE WITH VEAL AND MUSHROOM RAGU RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the oil over moderate heat. Add the salt pork, onion, carrot and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft and starting to brown, about 8 minutes.

Add the chicken stock and tomatoes with their juice, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and the dried sage, if using. Reduce the heat to low. Simmer the ragu , partially covered, until the veal is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. In a large frying pan, melt the butter over moderately high heat. Add the mushrooms, the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until brown, about 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice.
