SNAPPY STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to the package directions. Drain and toss with 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the parsley. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat in an extra-large skillet. Add the beef, season with the paprika and some salt and pepper and cook until browned on all sides but still pink in the middle, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Add the mushrooms, onions and thyme to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the hot stock and wine and cook for a minute until it reduces. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and mustard. Add the beef back in, along with any juices on the plate. Cook for 1 minute so the beef is heated through. Turn off the heat and stir in the sour cream. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
• Serve over the buttered noodles and garnish with the remaining parsley.

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.
