- 2 packages (.88 Ounce Each) Dried, Mixed Mushrooms
- 2 cups Boiling Water, Plus 1 Tablespoon Set Aside
- 1- 1/2 pound (roughly) Beef Stew Meat, Cubed Into Bite-size Pieces
- 5 Tablespoons Salt, Plus A Pinch, Divided Use
- 3 teaspoons Fresh Ground Black Pepper, Divided Use
- 1/4 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoons Dry Italian Seasoning
- 2- 1/2 Tablespoons All Purpose Flour, divided use
- 4 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 whole Onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, Chopped
- 1/2 cups Red Wine
- 8 whole Large, Red-skin Potatoes, Peeled And Cubed
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 cups Warm Milk
- 12 ounces, weight Bag Haricot Verts (petite Green Beans)
- Small Bowl Of Ice Water
- 13 cups Light Sour Cream
- 1 Tablespoon Flat-leaf Parsley, Chopped
- 1)Empty the packets of dried mushrooms into a large bowl, and cover with the 2 cups of boiling water; allow to re-hydrate and soften for 15-20 minutes; strain mushrooms and reserve the mushroom liquid (about 1 1/2 cups roughly), as this will be the stock for the stroganoff; keep warm.
- 2)In a large bowl, toss together the cubed beef stew meat, 1 teaspoon of the salt, 1 teaspoon of the pepper, the garlic powder, the Italian seasoning and 2 tablespoons of the flour to coat; place a medium pot over medium-high heat, and add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Once the pot is hot, add the beef to sear on all sides until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Then remove the meat from the pot with a slotted spoon, and set aside for a moment.
- 3)Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for about 1-2 minutes; add 2 cloves of the chopped garlic and allow to become fragrant; return the meat back to the pot with its juices, and add the wine to deglaze the pan, stirring and scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pot.
- Allow wine to reduce for a minute, then add the reserved liquid (about 1 1/2 cups) from the mushrooms to the pot, 2 teaspoons of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the pepper and bring to the boil.
- Then cover the pot, turn heat down to LOW and allow to gently braise/simmer for 2 hours, periodically stirring, scraping bottom of the pot to prevent burning.
- 3)During the last 30 minutes of the cooking process for the stew, place the peeled and cubed potatoes into a medium pot with 2 tablespoons of salt, and cover with water; bring to the boil and cook for about 20-22 minutes, until fork tender; drain water from the potatoes, and return potatoes to the pot over medium heat to dry-out for 1 minute.
- Then remove from heat, add the butter and, incrementally add the milk, and mash with masher until smooth and whipped.
- Check salt and adjust seasonings, if necessary, and cover pot to keep potatoes warm.
- 4)Next prepare the petite green beans by placing them in a small pot and covering them with water and 2 tablespoons of the salt; bring to the boil and allow to cook for about 6 minutes, until crisp-tender, and still green; drain and then plunge the beans into a small bowl of ice water for 30 seconds to shock and stop cooking.
- Remove them from the water and dry them off.
- Set aside.
- In a pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1 clove of the chopped garlic; allow to become fragrant and add the green beans, 1 teaspoon of the black pepper and the pinch of salt.
- Once the green beans are warmed through, remove from heat and keep warm.
- 5) At the end of the cooking time, once the meat is tender, finish the stroganoff by whisking together, in a small bowl, the light sour cream, a 1/2 tablespoon of flour and the 1 tablespoon of water until smooth; add to the beef and stir to incorporate, and allow to cook for another minute to thicken just slightly.
- Then turn off heat, add the chopped parsley and stir in.
- 6) Plate the mashed potatoes, smother them with the stroganoff and add a side of the garlic green beans.
- Enjoy!
