Beef Stew With Mushrooms And Penne Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• In a 7-qt. Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat; brown half the beef. Remove from pan. Repeat with additional oil and remaining beef., In same pan, saute carrots and onion in remaining oil until onion is tender, 2-3 minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, broth, beef and, if desired, parsley; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 1-1/2 hours., Stir in potatoes, beans and cheese; bring to a boil. Stir in pasta. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until beef and vegetables are tender, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach until wilted.

Steps:

• Sprinkle flour over meat. Toss to coat. Melt butter with olive oil in heavy stock pot with lid. Sear meat over high heat in batches; remove to a plate when brown. Add shallots and garlic to pan (without cleaning); saute for 2 minutes over medium-low heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in wine, consomme, and a 1/2 cup water. Then add salt and pepper to taste, and stir. Bring to a boil, then add back into the mix the browned meat. Reduce heat to low. Add thyme sprigs to pot. Cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. After that time, mix 2 tablespoons flour with a 1/4 cup water and pour into the stew. Allow to cook and thicken for ten more minutes. Turn off heat and allow stew to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving. Serve over cooked and drained pasta.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place the penne pasta in the pot, cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until al dente, and drain.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the garlic and mushrooms until mushrooms are tender. Season with salt and pepper, and mix in the butter.
• In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta and the mushroom mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley to serve.

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the beef with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add to the pot in batches and cook, turning and adding more oil as needed, until browned all over, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Add 2 more tablespoons oil to the pot and reduce the heat to medium. Add the roughly chopped carrot, celery and onion and cook, occasionally stirring with a wooden spoon and scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pot, until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Move the vegetables to one side and add the tomato paste to the empty side. Cook until it darkens around the edge, about 2 minutes; stir into the vegetables. Add the wine and bring to a boil.
• Return the beef and any juices to the pot; add the stock. Bring to a boil, skimming any foam off the top. Add the thyme. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the beef is tender, about 2 hours.
• Strain the beef and vegetables in a colander set over a large bowl, reserving the cooking liquid. Tent the beef mixture with foil. Let the cooking liquid stand for 5 minutes and then skim off the fat on the surface. Return the liquid to the pot. Add the remaining carrots and celery and the potatoes and bring to a simmer over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the vegetables are just tender, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their juices and brown, 10 minutes. (Pour off any extra liquid, if necessary.) Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour to make a roux, then let it bubble (do not brown), 2 minutes. Whisk in 2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid. Stir this sauce into the pot with the vegetables; bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring often, until thickened, 5 minutes.
• Return the beef to the pot, discarding the roughly chopped carrot, celery, onion and thyme. Add the mushrooms and simmer until heated through, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Pat the cubed meat dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Toss the meat in flour.
• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add half the meat in a single layer without crowding, and brown on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove meat from pot, and transfer to a bowl. Add 1/3 cup of wine, and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping any browned bits on the bottom of the pan (if wine evaporates too quickly to scrape up browned bits, add some stock). Transfer cooking liquid to bowl with meat. Wipe pot clean, and repeat process with remaining meat.
• Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in Dutch oven, and add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden all over, about 3 minutes.
• Deglaze pan with remaining 1/3 cup wine, and return reserved beef and cooking liquid to pot. Add stock and tomatoes; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook, covered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add carrots and mushrooms. Cook, covered, until meat and vegetables are tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Freeze the beef for 45 mins before you begin, slice as thinly as you can, then season.
• In a large, non-stick frying pan, melt half the butter with half the oil. Increase the heat, then quickly sear the beef in batches until browned on both sides. Remove the meat and set aside. Repeat with the mushrooms, then set aside with the beef. Boil the pasta.
• Add the remaining butter and oil to the pan and soften the shallots for a few mins. Stir in the flour for 1 min, then gradually stir in the stock. Bubble for 5 mins until thickened, then stir in the mustard, purée, crème fraîche and seasoning. Bubble for 1 min more, then return the beef and mushrooms to the pan.
• Drain the pasta, toss with half the parsley, season, then serve with the creamy stroganoff, sprinkled with the remaining parsley.

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine all ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 hours or until pasta is tender.
