Best Elbows In My Stroganoff Recipes

BEEF STROGANOFF CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray and set aside.
• Cook the egg noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions, just until barely al dente (about 6 minutes). Drain. Toss the noodles with the melted butter; set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef, mushrooms, onion and garlic until the meat is no longer pink (about 7-10 minutes). Drain.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed soup and the milk. Add the soup mixture to the ground beef. Cover and simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream.
• Place ⅓ of the buttered noodles in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Add ⅓ of the beef mixture over top. Repeat layers two more times. Cover and bake in the 325 degree F oven for about 20 minutes, or just until warmed through. Remove cover, sprinkle fried onions on top, and return to the oven (uncovered) for about 5-8 more minutes. Garnish with parsley just before serving, if desired.

BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• For the stroganoff: Preheat a large skillet over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes. Raise the heat to high and heat 1 tablespoon oil. Season half the beef with salt and pepper, add to the skillet, arranging it in a single layer, and cook without stirring until well-browned and still pinkish inside, 1 to 2 minutes. (It is key to only partially cook the meat at this stage, since it will be finish cooking later in the sauce.) Transfer to a large plate and set aside. Repeat with the remaining oil and beef. Discard any excess oil.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and, when the foaming begins to subside, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to the plate with the beef.
• Heat the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet; when the foaming begins to subside, add the onion and cook, stirring, until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute more. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth and, whisking constantly, bring to a full boil. Remove from the heat. Whisk in the sour cream, mustard and lemon juice and season with pepper to taste. Set the sauce aside covered.
• Meanwhile, for the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt generously, and cook the noodles until tender but not mushy. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Toss with the butter and season with pepper.
• Add the beef and any juices, mushrooms and parsley to the sauce and reheat over medium heat until just hot. (Do not boil.) Divide the noodles among 4 plates and top with the stroganoff. Serve immediately.

RICH AND CREAMY BEEF STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Place the beef into a large bowl. Stir in the red wine, salt, and black pepper. Marinate for 10 minutes, then remove the beef and pat dry with a paper towel. Reserve the remaining marinade.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the beef; cook and stir until browned, then transfer to a plate, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain any remaining grease from the skillet. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Stir in the onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the onion is soft and translucent. Transfer the onion mixture to the plate with the prepared beef; set aside.
• Melt another 2 tablespoons butter in the same skillet over medium heat, and stir in the mushrooms. Cook and stir until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Place the cooked mushrooms in a bowl and set aside. Melt 1/4 cup of butter in the skillet. Whisk in the flour, cook and stir until the flour no longer tastes raw, about 4 minutes. Slowly whisk in the beef stock. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium low. Pour in the reserved red wine marinade, Worcestershire sauce, prepared mustard, and red pepper flakes, then add the beef and onion mixture. Cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Season with salt and black pepper.
• Stir in the mushrooms, sour cream, and cream cheese about 5 minutes before serving.
