Porcini Noodles In The Style Of Stroganoff Recipes

MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Slice the portobellos into 1/2-inch-thick strips, then cut each strip in half crosswise. Repeat with the shiitakes, keeping the two mushrooms separate.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. When the foam starts to subside, add the portobellos and cook, tossing once or twice, about 1 minute. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous pinch of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, juicy and tender but firm, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the remaining butter to the skillet, let it sizzle, then add the shiitakes and toss for about 30 seconds. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a generous pinch of pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender but still firm, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Return the portobellos to the skillet and sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms. Then toss, scraping the bottom of the skillet, until the flour disappears, about 30 seconds. Stir in half the broth and all the soy sauce and mustard, scraping the bottom of the skillet until it's clean, then stir in the remaining broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 6 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Stir in the goat cheese.
• Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the sour cream and parsley. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. Serve the stroganoff over buttered egg noodles.

BEEF STROGANOFF WITH CREMINI & PORCINI MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine the beef broth and dried porcini in a small saucepan.
• Bring to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes.
• With a slotted spoon, lift the porcini out of the broth, chop coarsely and set aside.
• Strain the broth through a sieve and set aside.
• Heat 1 tbsp of the oil and the butter in a large skillet (not a non-stick) over medium high heat.
• When the oil is hot, add the cremini mushrooms and saute, stirring often until they are browned, 5- 6 minutes.
• Transfer to a bowl.
• Season the beef strips generously with kosher salt and pepper and dredge in the flour.
• Add 2 tbsp oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, add the beef, spreading it in a single layer.
• After about a minute, turn each piece to brown the other side.
• Don't overcook!
• Work quickly, the whole process only takes a couple of minutes.
• Remove beef to the same bowl with the cremini.
• (Work in smaller batches, if you prefer).
• Melt the remaining 3 tbsp butter in the pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the onion.
• Saute, scraping up the browned meat bits at the bottom of the pan.
• When the onions just start to brown (about 4- 5 min), pour in the reserved porcini soaking broth.
• Stir in the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, porcini, cremini and beef, along with any accumulated juices.
• Bring to a simmer while stirring.
• Cook just until the sauce thickens slightly, 1- 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and stir in the creme fraiche, just until it's incorporated and heated through.
• Taste, and adjust seasonings.
• Serve over cooked noodles, sprinkled with parsley.

PORTOBELLO MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add egg noodles, and cook until al dente, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat, drain, and set aside.
• At the same time, melt butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring until softened. Turn the heat up to medium-high, and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until the mushrooms are limp and browned. Remove to a bowl, and set aside.
• In the same skillet, stir in vegetable broth, being sure to stir in any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Bring to a boil, and cook until the mixture has reduced by 1/3. Reduce heat to low, and return the mushrooms and onion to the skillet.
• Remove the pan from the heat, stir together the sour cream and flour; then blend into the mushrooms. Return the skillet to the burner, and continue cooking over low heat, just until the sauce thickens. Stir in the parsley, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

MUSHROOM STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Place a large (12-inch) skillet on medium-high heat. Add olive oil and onion, season with salt, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. Add the mushrooms, thyme and garlic, and stir to combine. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, leaving it undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes at a time before stirring, to allow the mushrooms to caramelize.
• Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom, then cook for about 1 minute. Add the vegetable stock and soy sauce, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the liquid has reduced and is slightly thickened.
• Take the pan off the heat, and stir in the mustard and crème fraîche. Taste, and season with salt and black pepper. Dust with paprika, scatter with parsley and serve with your choice of mashed potatoes, wide egg noodles or rice.

CHICKEN STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Cook egg noodles according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook 3 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and cook 3 minutes, until mushrooms soften. Add thyme and cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in chicken. Add wine and simmer 1 minute. In a small bowl, whisk together broth, cornstarch and Worcestershire sauce. Add mixture to pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer 2 minutes, until mixture thickens. Stir in cooked noodles and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
• Transfer to a serving platter and top with chives.

BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Raise the heat to high and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Season the beef with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the skillet, arranging it in a single layer, and saute, without stirring, until well browned and still pinkish inside, 1 to 2 minutes. (It is key to only partially cook the meat at this stage, since it will finish cooking later in the sauce.) Transfer to a large plate and set aside. Discard any excess oil.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil and heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the plate with the beef.
• Heat another tablespoon of oil. Add the onions, carrots and parsnips and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth and, whisking constantly, bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat, add the greens and simmer until the greens and veggies are crisp-tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk in the sour cream, mustard and lemon juice and season with pepper to taste. Add the beef and any juices, mushrooms and parsley to the sauce and reheat over medium heat just until hot. (Do not boil.)
• Toss the barley with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Divide the cooked barley among 4 plates and top with the stroganoff. Serve immediately.

BEEF STROGANOFF OVER BUTTERED NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the beef stock with the carrot, 3 thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Pat the beef dry and season it with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet over high heat. Fry the meat in batches so that it is browned on all sides. Lower the heat to medium and return all the meat to the pot. Add the onions and cook until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Pour in the cognac and cook until the alcohol has burned off, about 5 minutes. Add the beef stock, discarding the carrot, thyme sprigs, and bay leaf. Cook, partially covered, over a very low flame for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter in the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Add the mushrooms, garlic, and remaining 3 thyme sprigs and cook until the mushrooms are browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
• When the meat is done, remove it from the heat and fold in the mushrooms, sour cream, mustard, and parsley. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain the noodles well, toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, and season with salt and pepper. Serve the stroganoff over the noodles; garnish with more sour cream and chopped parsley.

PRESSURE COOKER BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Soak porcini mushrooms in the boiling water for 10 minutes. Chop mushrooms; strain and reserve mushroom liquid.
• Season meat with salt and pepper. In a 6-quart pressure cooker, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Working in batches, add meat and cook until browned on all sides, 5 minutes, adding more oil as needed. Transfer to a plate.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil, the button mushrooms, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, about 6 minutes. Add porcini mushrooms, mushroom liquid, and chicken broth. Return meat to pressure cooker, along with any accumulated juices.
• Secure lid. Bring to high pressure over medium-high; reduce heat to maintain pressure and cook until meat is tender, 30 minutes. Remove from heat, vent pressure, then remove lid. Stir in egg noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium until tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Shred meat and stir in sour cream and mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with dill.
