SAVORY BEEF FILLING FOR CREPES



Savory Beef Filling for Crepes image

Most recipes for crepes are generally the same, tweaked for personal tastes so I will leave out the crepes recipe for now. The beef sauce is a recipe that I've developed loosely from beef stroganoff, made with beef stew meat, potatoes, green onions, and any veggies you choose (I prefer carrots and/or broccoli.) The result of this recipe is a creamy, savory dinner that'll leave you wanting more. Serve sauce inside or on top of crepes.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound cubed beef stew meat
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
2 medium carrots, chopped
3 stalks green onions, or more to taste, chopped
1 cup milk
1 cup warm water
1 ½ teaspoons beef bouillon granules
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¼ cup dry white wine
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
¼ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
¼ teaspoon dried cilantro, or to taste
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary, or to taste
1 head broccoli, cut into florets

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until it starts to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Toss in potato, carrots, and green onions, then pour in milk. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer.
  • Mix 1/2 cup water with bouillon granules. Mix remaining water with flour, whisking until well combined. Add both mixtures to the saucepan and stir to combine. Stir in wine, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, cilantro, and rosemary. Cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Add broccoli and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until all vegetables and beef are tender, 10 to 15 more minutes.
  • Serve sauce inside or on top of crepes.

THE BEST CREPES



The Best Crepes image

Our classic crepe is versatile enough to go sweet or savory, just omit the vanilla if going the savory route. The rest time here is key; the flour absorbs the milk as it sits giving you a more tender crepe and golden color.

Time 8h30m

Yield 15 crepes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups milk, at room temperature
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Vegetable oil, for the pan

Steps:

  • Add the milk, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla and salt to a blender. Puree on high speed until completely smooth and slightly thickened and creamy, about 1 minute. Add the melted butter and puree until incorporated, 30 seconds more. Let the batter rest in the blender carafe for at least 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate up to 24 hours. The longer you allow the batter to rest and hydrate, the lighter and softer the texture of the crepes will be; overnight is ideal.
  • Before cooking, re-blend the batter at high speed for 30 seconds. This will reincorporate the ingredients, a vital step in getting an even golden color on the crepes. Wipe 1/2 teaspoon of oil on a large crepe pan or a 10-inch nonstick skillet with a paper towel. You don't want to see any drops of oil in the pan, just coat with the thinnest layer. Heat the pan over medium heat until hot.
  • Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan. Working quickly off the heat, swirl and shake the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the batter. Return to the heat and cook the crepe, reducing the heat if it's browning too quickly, until the edges are light golden, about 2 minutes. Slide a spatula underneath to loosen the crepe and carefully flip it over. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, 15 to 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, wiping pan with oil each time. Stack the crepes on the plate as you go (you should have about 15 total). Let the crepes cool for 10 minutes before serving or filling.
  • For fillings, we suggest Nutella and bananas or peanut butter and jelly for sweet crepes. Ham and cheese makes a great filling for savory crepes.
