Best Bitoks Of Beef Recipes

BITOKS OF BEEF

Steps:

• Put the beef in a mixing bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan and add 3/4 cup of the onions. Cook, stirring often, about 3 minutes without browning. Let cool.
• Combine the cooked onions, 1 cup of the bread crumbs, egg and milk and add to the beef. Add salt and pepper and blend well with the hands.
• Divide the mixture into 8 portions of more or less equal weight. Shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a patty and coat each with remaining bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold all the rounds in one layer. Cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook about 3 minutes on the second side. Transfer bitoks to a warm platter.
• Heat a smaller skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup chopped onions and cook until wilted. Add the paprika and stir. Add the vinegar and beef broth. Bring to a boil. Add the heavy cream and sour cream, stirring. Cook about 1 minute or less. There should be about 3/4 cup of sauce. Pour over the bitoks and dot the center of each with 1/2 teaspoon parsley. Serve immediately.

THE BEST BEEF STROGANOFF

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.
