BEST BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until al dente; drain.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook until slightly tender. Mix in mushrooms, and continue cooking 2 minutes. Place steak strips in saucepan and cook about 1 minute. Mix in consomme, Burgundy and lemon juice. Bring to a boil.
• In a small bowl, thoroughly blend flour with cold water until smooth. Reduce saucepan heat to low. While stirring constantly, slowly pour flour mixture into saucepan. Gradually return to boil while stirring rapidly, until sauce is thick and smooth. Cover saucepan and continue cooking 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, let cool slightly and stir in sour cream. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

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

• Slice meat into 1/2-thick by 2 -nch long very thin strips and season with salt and pepper. Set in freezer.

• Heat a second skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter, then add the meat and onion and cook over high heat until brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Then add the chopped cornichons and stir to combine.
• Arrange meat on a bed of egg noodles and top with Stroganoff sauce and parsley. Serve with thickly sliced pumpernickel bread.

GERMAN BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Preheat a large dutch oven, and add olive oil. Brown the beef, in batches if you have to, setting aside in a bowl when browned.
• In the same dutch oven cook the green pepper and onions for one minute, adding more oil first if necessary. Add the sliced mushrooms, breaking them up of the pieces are too large. Cook for 2-4 minutes, until mushrooms are softened.
• Add the 3 cups beef broth, worchestershire sauce, paprika, thyme, and salt. Add the beef back into the pot. Broth should cover the beef.
• Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about an hour until beef is tender.
• Mix the flour and the 1/2 cup beef broth with a whisk until smooth. Add to the pot and stir until thickened. Add the sour cream, adjusting to taste.
• Remove from heat and serve over mashed potatoes. Or egg noodles if you must.

MACHINE'S BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, brown the meat and onion.
• Chili or other ground beef can be broken up as it cooks, otherwise cut the meat into cubes or strips half an inch thick or so.
• Drain it when browned.
• While the meat is browning, boil a pot of water for the noodles. Ideally, you want the water to boil just after the meat is browned.
• Also while the meat is browning, cut up the cream cheese so it will melt easier. As soon as the meat is in the strainer to drain, put the cream cheese into the Dutch oven over medium heat to melt.
• Once it melts acceptably (don't wait for it to become liquid, just soft enough that it'll mix in), add the other ingredients except the noodles.
• Stir thoroughly until it forms a horrible-looking goop. (If it's an awful shade of brown or gray, don't worry-- that's what it always looks like.)
• Add Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and any other seasoning to taste. (I usually go wild with the Worcestershire, but it's up to you.)
• When the water comes to a boil, throw in the noodles and prepare as per the package.
• Add the meat to the sauce at this time as well.
• Once the noodles are done, dish it up like spaghetti.
