Stroganoff Damier Recipes

Steps:

• For the porcini pasta: Combine the all-purpose flour, semolina and porcini powder in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs. Knead the dough, wrap it in plastic and let it rest at least 30 minutes.
• Roll the dough out with a pasta machine to desired thickness. Cut to desired noodle shape. (You will have enough pasta for about 12 servings; freeze half for another time.)
• Cook half of the pasta in salted boiling water until cooked through, reserving a little of the pasta cooking water.
• For the sauce: Meanwhile, cook the mushrooms, stirring, in oil until browned. Add the shallot and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the madeira and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the creme fraiche. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add the noodles to the sauce and toss; add a little pasta cooking water if necessary to get the sauce to coat the noodles. Toss again with the arugula. Transfer the noodles to plates and garnish with dollops of goat cheese. Drizzle with olive oil.

Steps:

• For the cheese powder: Preheat the oven to 175 degrees F. Mix the cheeses and spread in as close to a single layer as possible on a cookie sheet. Bake for 8 hours. The cheese will appear dry and a little greasy. Remove the cookie sheet and blot dry with paper towels. Remove the cheese and place on another clean cookie sheet. Blot again if necessary. Bake until very dry, 2 more hours. Remove the cookie sheet and blot a final time. Allow to cool in a dry place.
• Put the cheese crisps in a blender or spice grinder and pulverize. BEHOLD!!! FINGER LICKIN' GOOD CHEESE POWDER! Reserve.
• For the chips: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees F in a deep skillet. Fry the tortillas, in batches, until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per batch. Place on a wire rack to drain. While still hot, season with the cheese powder.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, saute the meat and onions for 10 minutes, or until the meat is browned and the onion is tender. Stir in the flour, salt and paprika. Then add the mushroom soup, mix well and cook, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add the sour cream, stirring well and allowing to heat through. Cover and set this mixture aside.
• Cook the egg noodles according to package directions. Drain the water from the noodles and pour the meat mixture over the noodles.

Steps:

• Cut beef across grain into about 1 1/2x1/2-inch strips.
• Cook mushrooms, onions and garlic in butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender; remove from skillet.
• Cook beef in same skillet until brown. Stir in 1 cup of the broth, the salt and Worcestershire sauce. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
• Stir remaining 1/2 cup broth into flour; stir into beef mixture. Add onion mixture; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in sour cream; heat until hot (do not boil). Serve over noodles.

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.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, breaking into small pieces with a wooden spoon, until well browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the meat to a bowl, leaving behind any drippings; reduce the heat to medium.
• To the same skillet, add the mushrooms, season with salt and cook until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cooked mushrooms to the bowl with the beef. Add the oil, onion, carrot, garlic, and paprika to the skillet and continue to cook until the carrots are soft and the onion is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in the tomato paste and cook until the tomato paste has toasted and is evenly coating the vegetables, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the broth, water, and the Worcestershire sauce to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and stir in the pasta. Cover and cook according to package directions until the noodles are just al dente. Uncover, stir in the reserved beef and mushrooms until heated through. Remove from heat and stir in the cream cheese, sour cream, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and salt and pepper, to taste, until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Divide among 6 bowls. Serve.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix beef and steak seasoning. In 5-quart Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add steak in single layer; cook 4 to 7 minutes, turning once, just until browned on both sides. Using tongs, transfer beef to plate; cover with foil and keep warm.
• Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to drippings in Dutch oven; melt over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until mushrooms brown and onion softens.
• Stir in broth; heat to simmering. Place sour cream in medium bowl. Using ladle, spoon 1/2 cup simmering liquid into sour cream; beat with whisk to combine. Set aside.
• Stir noodles into mixture in Dutch oven; heat to boiling. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until noodles are cooked through and most of liquid is reduced (mixture will be saucy). Stir in beef and any accumulated liquid; return to simmering. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream mixture. Let stand 5 minutes.
• Top with parsley.
