Beef Short Rib Stroganoff With Buttered Noodles And Lemon Creme Fraiche Recipes

Steps:

• Season the meat with the paprika and some salt and pepper. Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the meat and cook until brown on both sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Add the mushrooms and cook until brown, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, an additional 2 minutes. Add the flour and cook the roux, stirring, for a couple minutes. Whisk in the red wine and bring to a simmer. Add the stock and milk, whisking to remove any lumps. Place the ribs back in the pot and simmer until the meat is tender, about 2 hours. (Alternatively, cook in the oven at 275 degree F until tender.)
• When you are ready to serve, bring a pot of water to a boil and salt liberally. Add the pasta, give it a stir and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Remove the stroganoff from the heat, mix in the sour cream, pickles and parsley if using and serve with the pasta.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Place the chopped garlic, salt and pepper into a bowl. Add enough extra-virgin olive oil to create a paste. Add the rosemary and thyme leaves to the bowl and stir to combine.
• Set short ribs out on a roasting tray and cover with herb paste. Roast in the oven for 2 hours and 30 minutes until they are falling apart.
• Heat a large saute pan over high heat and add a 3-count of olive oil. Add mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes until brown. Add shallots and minced garlic and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for a further 2 minutes until garlic and onion become fragrant. Remove pan from heat and carefully add cognac to deglaze the pan. Return to heat and add cream. Reduce heat and simmer until reduced by half. Turn off heat and stir in Dijon mustard and sour cream. Season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper
• Cook egg noodles in salted boiling water according to directions on package. Drain and toss with butter while still hot.
• To serve: Pile the noodles high on a plate, top with stroganoff sauce and finish with rib slices. Garnish with fresh parsley and green onions.
