Recommended Posts

2 1/2-pound piece beef tenderloin, well trimmed, meat cut into 2x1x1/2 inch strips

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) butter

1/4 cup finely chopped shallots

1 pound small button mushrooms, thickly sliced

1 cup canned beef broth

2 tablespoons Cognac

3/4 cup crème fraîche or sour cream

1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

 

12 ounces wide egg noodles

1 tablespoon paprika

 

 

 

Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat oil in heavy large skillet over high heat until very hot. Working in batches, add meat in single layer and cook just until brown on outside, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet.

 

Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots and sauté until tender, scraping up browned bits, about 2 minutes. Add button mushrooms. Sprinkle with pepper and sauté until liquid evaporates, about 12 minutes. Add beef broth, then Cognac. Simmer until liquid thickens and just coats mushrooms, about 14 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche (or sour cream). Add meat and any accumulated juices from baking sheet. Simmer over medium-low heat until meat is heated through but still medium-rare, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper

 

Meanwhile, cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain. Transfer to bowl. Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Divide noodles among plates. Top with beef and sauce. Sprinkle generously with paprika.

That sounds f*cking good. I'm allergic to mushrooms. Still should be good without though, right? Any suggested substitute for the mushrooms, or just go without?

mushrooms are a tough sub....

 

maybe just dice a large yellow onion or a green and red pepper (will give it more of a hungarian flavor)

 

 

Thanks, I'll just do it as you listed without the mushroms for me. The wife and daughter's 1/2 will have the mushrooms. We are having it for dinner tomorrow. :D

My wife and her family are allergic to muchrooms, but her mom still makes a good Beef Stroganoff. Once she is back from Ireland, I'll get the recipe for you and see how it compares to Bier's.

i like what the cognac adds

 

 

I thought about making this for my family-flying back to Ohio as you might recall-but no one in my family drinks so my chances of finding cognac is minimal, and I'd hate to buy cognac just for this dish. I have pear brandy here at home and could maybe smuggle some back in my suit case.

 

Any other ideas for substitutions?

you can go in several directions:

1. no alcohol- it's still good

2. sweeter- with a madera, sherry, or marsala

2. drier- dry white (this is what i would reccommend

My brother says he has Grand Marnier and Chambord-this better than the dry wine as a sub?

 

 

 

grandma gives you orange and chambord gives you black raspberry... i'd rather go with white wine or nothing to sub...... brandy if you have it

 

oh...powder day at vail :D

Boy, you're quick. Thanks.

 

Tomorrow, powder at Mt. Bachelor-highs of only 15 degrees and very dry. We've had a 6-12 inches a day but 60 mph winds too. If the winds die down it's off skiing-or for my hubby, he's a new gray on tray (shredder over 40-he's actually 50)

1 for me and the wife and kids fought over the rest... :D
