Beef Brandy And Mushroom Stroganoff Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and fresh mushrooms; cook until the onions are translucent. Stir in curry powder until well blended. Place the meat strips in the skillet, and fry until evenly browned.
• Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the boiling water, then stir into the skillet. Add the mushroom stems and pieces and dried shiitake mushrooms. Let the mixture simmer over medium heat until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain.
• Reduce the heat under the skillet to low, and pour in the cream, stirring until the sauce is an even color. Simmer for about 5 minutes, but do not boil. Serve over noodles.

Steps:

• Heat a teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over a low to medium heat. Cook the onion for 4-5 mins, stirring regularly, until they start to soften.
• Add the mushrooms, sage and paprika, and continue to cook for 5 mins until they begin to wilt. Tip into a medium bowl and set aside,.
• Return the frying pan to a high heat with the remaining teaspoon of oil and fry the steak pieces for 2-3 mins, or until they are brown on both sides. Tip them into the bowl with the mushroom mix.
• Reduce to a lower heat and add the stock, brandy and Worcestershire sauce. Scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and mix in to add flavour.
• Season with salt and pepper and leave the liquid to simmer and reduce for about 3-4 mins.
• Reduce the heat to a medium heat and return the mushroom and meat mixture. Simmer for 2-3 mins to heat through and add the creme fraiche.
• Cook for a further minute, stirring. Season as desired, add the parsley and serve.

Steps:

• Put the porcini in a heatproof jug and cover with 400ml boiling water from the kettle. Leave to soak.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large, deep frying pan over a medium heat and fry the shallots for 5 mins until soft. Add the chestnut mushrooms, turn up the heat to medium-high and fry for 5-10 mins until lightly golden. Add the garlic and wild mushrooms and fry for another 5 mins, then stir in the tomato purée and stir in the flour and paprika for 30 seconds until all the flour has been absorbed.
• Pour the brandy into the pan and simmer for 5 mins until almost cooked off, then add the rehydrated porcini and mushroom stock, leaving any the last bits of gritty stock at the bottom of the jug. Bring to a bubble, then stir in the soured cream and mustard. Season and simmer for 5-10 mins until reduced enough to coat the mushrooms. Serve with mini roast potatoes.
