Stroganoff

Ingredients

  • .75 lb ground beef or Flank Steak chopped in 1/4″ cubes
  • .5 pounds sliced mushrooms (Crimini or White Button preffered)
  • 1/2 onion or 2 shallots
  • 8oz crème fraîche
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 lb noodles (we use farfalle generally)
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flake to taste (optional)
  • Cornstarch

Tools

  • One large stockpot
  • One large saucier or saute pan

Method

  • Season the beef with salt and pepper, and if desired, red pepper flake, set aside
  • Chop the onions and mushrooms and put them in a bowl
  • Brown the beef with oil in pan
  • When the beef has been browned, add more oil and the mushrooms and onions
  • Saute the mushrooms until they are about half the original size, around 3 minutes
  • Start your noodle water to boil
  • Add the beef broth, this should barely cover the mixture in the pan
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat and the reduce heat to low. Cover and leave on heat
  • Prepare noodles per package instructions
  • About one minute before noodles are done, put 1.5 tbps of cornstarch in a small bowl with 2 tbps of water, stir
  • Stir this mixture into your broth to thicken it up. It does not need to be gravy thick
  • Drain your pasta
  • While pasta is draining, add crème fraîche and stir until completely incorperated
  • Add sauce to noodle pan, then noodles, stir and leave set for around 3 mintues
  • Enjoy! We usually add some fresh grated romano to the top
