CHEF JOHN'S CLASSIC BEEF STROGANOFF



Chef John's Classic Beef Stroganoff image

This is a fairly lean version of beef stroganoff, as most recipes call for more cream. This is something you can easily adjust to your tastes. I like a little thicker version, with just enough sauce to coat the meat and noodles.

Time 1h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
½ medium onion, sliced or diced
8 ounces sliced mushrooms
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup white wine
2 cups beef broth, divided
¾ cup creme fraiche
1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Season beef generously with salt and pepper.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat until nearly smoking. Stir in beef; cook, stirring constantly, for 6-7 minutes, until liquid evaporates and meat browns. Remove meat from the pan and set aside.
  • Stir butter, mushrooms and onions into the pan; cook and stir over medium heat until the vegetables are lightly browned. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in flour; cook for 1-2 minutes until incorporated.
  • Stir in wine and 1 cup of stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring to a simmer, cook for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  • Return beef to the pan. Stir in remaining cup of stock; bring to a simmer and cook on low heat for about 1 hour with the lid on, until the beef is tender and the sauce is thick. Stir every 20 minutes.
  • Stir in creme fraiche. Stir in chives. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

CHEF JOHN'S MULLIGATAWNY SOUP



Chef John's Mulligatawny Soup image

I'm showing you my take on what is considered one of the world's greatest soups. Which was invented, I hear, because British soldiers in India weren't able to start a meal without soup. This is incredibly hearty, savory, and comforting, and something that should be on every soup lover's bucket list. Serve with naan.

Time 1h40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 29

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 ¼ cups boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to taste
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground mustard
¼ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup cubed Yukon Gold potatoes
½ cup seeded and diced tomato
2 small Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and diced
½ cup dry red lentils
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon tamarind paste
6 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons coconut cream
½ cup plain Greek yogurt, or to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
¼ cup sliced green onion, or to taste
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt butter and oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken thighs and season with salt; let brown for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip and brown on opposite side, 4 to 5 minutes more.
  • While chicken browns, combine curry powder, garam masala, cumin, black pepper, ground mustard, coriander, and cayenne in a small bowl.
  • Remove browned chicken from the pot and transfer to a plate to cool enough to handle; roughly chop or shred.
  • While chicken cools, reduce heat to medium and add spice blend to pot; cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add garlic and ginger; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Season with salt and cook, stirring, until onions turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and continue to cook for 3 minutes more. Stir in potatoes, tomatoes, and apples. Add red lentils, bay leaf, and tamarind paste.
  • Pour in chicken broth, stir, and raise heat to high; add coconut cream. Bring to a simmer. Stir and reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes.
  • Stir chopped chicken and any accumulated juices into the soup. Continue to let simmer, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are fully cooked, lentils are tender, and soup has thickened, 20 to 30 minutes more. Taste and adjust as needed.
  • Serve in warm bowls topped with Greek yogurt, cilantro, and scallions. Sprinkle with red chili flakes.
