Beef Brisket Stroganoff

The Strategy:

Slow-cooked to melting tenderness, this beef brisket stroganoff redefines comfort food with a touch of elegance. The rich brisket is seasoned with a savory garlic-rosemary paste, slow-braised in red wine, and then topped with a velvety, dill-scented wild mushroom cream sauce. Served over a bed of buttery egg noodles, it is the ultimate dish for a chilly Sunday evening.

Raw cooking ingredients for Beef Brisket Stroganoff arranged beautifully on a clean kitchen counter.

Instructions

Make garlic paste

Finely chop the garlic and rosemary together. Sprinkle half the salt over top and use the flat side of your knife to mash the mixture into a paste.
Place the garlic paste into a bowl.
Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in the bottom of a cast iron skillet over medium high heat.

Slow Cook the Brisket

Season the brisket with salt and pepper.
Brown the brisket in the skillet on both sides, about 5 minutes total.
Place the brisket into a slow cooker.
Brush the paste over top.
Pour in the wine.
Set the cooker on high and cook until the meat is very tender, about 6 hours.
Transfer the brisket from the cooker to a cutting board, reserving the liquid. Tent with aluminum foil and let the meat rest while you prepare the sauce.

Make Stroganoff sauce

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in the skillet over medium high heat.
Add the mushrooms.
Cook until golden on one side, turn and cook until golden on the other side, about 7 to 8 minutes total.
Sprinkle the mushrooms with flour and season with salt and pepper.
Pour about 3 cups of the liquid from the cooker into the pan.
Stir in the mustard.
Cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low.
Stir in the sour cream and dill.

Cook noodles and serve

Cook the egg noodles in boiling salted water according to the package directions.
Drain the noodles in a colander.
Cut the brisket against the grain into thin slices.
Spoon noodles onto a platter. Ladle the stroganoff sauce over the top of the noodles. Lay slices of brisket on top.
Garnish with additional fresh dill.

Gotta Have Gadgets

The best cooking pots for pasta come with their own colander inserts. Traditional deep pots are just fine too – just have that stainless steel colander handy; I prefer metal to plastic! When you're cooking Italian, you'll also want a pizza cutter – which is ideal for cutting fresh pasta. The next best thing is a pastry scraper. In a pinch, lay a clean ruler (or other straight edge) on top of the pasta and run a sharp knife alongside to cut the pasta into strips.

N'awlins Jambalaya Stew perfect for sharing-8 Slowly simmered spicy sausage marries okra, chicken and shrimp in this pot of perfection. Red beans and rice complete the Bourbon Street experience.
