How to make a Stroganoff (using Mauviel m'cook saute pan) | French Cooking Academy

[@Flazius]

As a chef, I have to bring some things to light; for an original Stroganoff, you use the tips of Beef Tenderloin, creme fraiche, a little mustard, as well as onions. This is the classical recipe I found in Russia when doing research on it around 10 years ago. I was doing research as I was going on danish radio, and I wanted to give as precise a recipe as possible. So, originally, no mushrooms, no oil, no cream. If you want, however, shalottes are as good as normal onions. The dish was named after Grigorij Stroganoff who was born in the late 1700's, and his family. Vodka, tomato puré, bacon, cream, lemon, pickles, capers and parsley are all things added to the dish later on, and the most popular variant of the dish uses mushrooms. It has done that since 1891, when a french chef called Charles Brière presented his version of the dish at a competetion in Paris - which is the "new" base of the recipe that most people use today.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

thanks i added some i formation about that in the video description 👍

[@Apollo440]

This is commonplace in Italian recipes as well. The original fettucine Alfredo has no cream in it, but all recipes found on the internet have. It's as if somebody decided, that each and any recipe should have as many milk products as possible: milk, butter, cream, cheese - the more, the merrier. And even though this changes the recipe - no new name is invented, but rather the old name is used, and it becomes the new standard. Unfortunately.

[@Flazius]

@@stanvanillo9831 "less controversial" - and you then choose the most controversial of them all. A dish with no bacon, no cream, but with Guancale and cheese and eggs - that very few apparently seem to get right.

I learned my mother's reciept from my grandmother. We use creme friache or sour cream at the end, a bit more paprika as well. Fantastic over papardelle or my own fresh homemade wide flat noodles or rice.

[@rogerhwerner6997]

Looks like a nice variant of the recipe. I always use sliced sirloin and slightly thinker sliced mushrooms. I saute the onions and mushrooms then removed and set aside. I brown the meat, add a half cup of beef stock and half cup of a dry red wine simmer until reduced (the meat also becomes very tender), add back the other ingredients, add a small clove of minced garlic and reheat. Then I add sour cream. Heat to steaming and serve over egg noodles. Simple, easy, and always very tasty. I'm going to try the video recipe.

[@lonebeagle]

I have this exact same Mauviel pan. It's a fantastic saute pan, you won't find a better one. It conducts heat very fast, almost as fast as my heavy Mauviel copper and stainless steel lined pan. You don't need to crank up the heat to high to fry a steak if you heat the pan enough. What I do when I make a dish like this, is to switch the order of cooking. Heat the pan on a medium flame. Test how hot it is by adding a flew drops of water (I just wet my fingers and flick the H20 onto the pan). When the water beads up like mercury and floats across the surface, it's hot enough. If the water droplets fracture into a million tiny beads, the pan is too hot. This pan only takes about 3 minutes on my ordinary Kenmore range to heat. Instead of putting oil in the pan, I just drizzle the meat with a little oil and mix it around all over. Then I add the meat to the pan and leave about 1/2" between each piece. Don't touch the meat and after about 2-3 minutes the meat will cook and release from the pan. I can cook a couple of pounds of beef in 2 or 3 batches. Then I add some oil and put in the onions and salt. Usually this will produce enough water to be able to scrape up the brown bits and deglaze the pan.

Russians are using usually the Sour Cream instead of just Cream in the Beef Stroganov, and you should add a bay leaf at the end. It is recommended to add the allspice peppercorns at the very beginning, few of them, not too many. But the basics of the recipe are absolute right!

[@stephenwilson9905]

I would like to suggest that it is perfectly reasonable in the context of a traditional recipe to use nutmeg (with or without thyme). Additionally, sour cream is necessary and to coat the beef strips in flour before frying. This is a really flavorful alternative. Thank you Chef for this nice recipe! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 😃

[@maksimluzin1121]

You're right! Russians usually using the sour cream in place of just cream. Nutmeg is optional, but not necessary, but it is very recommended to add the allspice peppercorns at the very beginning, few of them, not too many.

Super channel! Thanks for all these great presentations. I used to watch a lot of cooking shows on TV some years ago because I admire people who can cook, something which I regard as an essential skill for all to possess. I long since got rid of my TV set and I completely lost interest in the commercial cooking programs that gradually seemed to turn into personality/reality shows that had much less to do with actual cooking but rather more to do with the chefs themselves. It is therefore with great pleasure that I have stumbled on your channel that focuses on the techniques of cooking. I am a total amateur in the kitchen, but soon enough I will be in a position (by choice) in which my passion for food will also need to meet with a certain level of professional kitchen skills as I am embarking on a secondary side-career as a chef. I am starting out with really simple dishes, but I cannot thank you enough for the opportunity to watch a real craftsman at play, teaching the basic skills needed for cooking great food. My hat off to you and thanks again!

My Russian mother's recipe called for sour cream, a little mustard and rather a lot of Worcestershire sauce for the sauce. Her sauté of the onions was very, very, very browned to almost crisp. My variation on her recipe is to add brandy (which improves practically anything!). Otherwise c'est la même chose.

[@bryanbelshaw7725]

You needed to add the paprika (smoked) to the onions and mushrooms, then reserve and add that to the steak when browned. Crème Fraiche is also much better than cream and squeezing the juice of a half lemon lifts the dish at the very end. Still looks lovely though.

well, boeuf stroganoff is one of my most favorite dishes. yours is not bad but I like thinner strips of beef and I could never go without fine strips of gurken and a bit mustard. less onions but more mushrooms. I do stretch the sauce by sprinkling a little flower over the meat before I add the sauteed mushrooms and onions because I really like the taste.

[@josephadkins549]

Great video. Do you have any recommendations for cookware for the average household? I’d love to get what you have but the price point is just to high.

[@MartinRosol]

I’ve recently discovered an online company called Misen. They ship to US, Canada and Europe. They have a 3 quart sauté pan for $95, which measures 11 inches diameter. I’ve bought a few of their pans already and recommend them. They have received very good press for price and performance. Their site is misen.co (just “co”, not com).

[@redoorn]

My first quality pan was an ebay purchased all-clad saute pan with lid. Love it. I then purchased a decent cuisinart set from Amazon. The difference between my judt out of school cookware and this is night and day.

[@chrisspencer5042]

I also bought a full set of the Misen when they were running a promotion. It works quite well but my only complaint is I think the quality of the interior stainless steel is not as good as say Allclad which I used for years.

[@allonszenfantsjones]

All-clad to gradually replace my Cuisinart pans which are finicky. Everything sticks to them, whereas the All-Clad not only doesn't stick, even if there's a little bit to clean up it works magically. I think they are a little bit overwhelmed with orders right now because I discovered that they were out of stock on things. I switched to Demeyere made in Belgium, for a flat bottom Wok. Haven't tried it yet , but it looks good and heavy.

[@RovingPunster]

RUMP STEAK ? 🤔 The way I learned this dish, courtesy of a friend who's a CIA grad, is that the one of the very best cuts for this is (aside: terminology for this varies) fillet mignon "Chain" ... the chain is a strip of moderately fatty muscle between the fillet mignon and the ribs of the short loin region. It's basically a premium off-cut that removed from untrimmed tenderloins in order to obtain Fillet Mignon. To make an analogy, just like the true "chicken tender" comes from the underside of a chicken breast, the "Chain" cut comes from the underside of fillet mignon. In catering and restaurant circles here in the US, this is cut is most commonly used to feed the staff, and Stroganoff (and stir fry in general) is an example of a perfect use for it. It's an awesome cut because it has the tenderness of fillet, the deep flavor of ribeye cap meat, and a fat content midway between the two. Perfect for stroganoff or lo mein (aka la mian).

[@mp3545]

Beef tenderloin definitely seems to be the most commonly recommended option. My problem with it is that it’s way too expensive (usually $35 or so per pound at Whole Foods) to use for just a regular weeknight dinner. I’ve found that skirt steak is a far more affordable option that still brings a lot of flavor to the dish.

[@RovingPunster]

@@mp3545 Skirt steak has great flavor, but it can sometimes be tough/chewy, esp if the beef wasnt hung/aged properly after slaughter, and/or if it was previously frozen, or worse, frozen more than once. As for whole foods ... I never buy my meat there because theyre outta my price range. I have a local butcher that charges significantly less, and ive been eating a lot less beef overall lately.

[@GeorgeSemel]

There is a lot of ways to make stroganoff. This one looks interesting. As for the pan well because it's well made for the task, it turns makes the whole process just easier. I am lazy I like easy, I don't like to struggle to get things to the result I want. I have a cast-iron skillet that I use for fried chicken and it does a good job for stroganoff. It's got high sides, but it heats so even that I can cook most things in it on medium to low heat. I turn my stove down to low just to keep the stroganoff from burning. The real trick is learning to control the heat, once you have that down with the pots pans skillets, and your stove- most of the battle is done. Oh and Stroganoff is one of my favorite things- a lot of times I just use venison from the deer I shot for the dish. For some reason, it never lasts.

[@bensebaugh6017]

Top round is fine until you make this with tenderloin then it's hard to go back. You brown it super fast and hot then add back just to heat it up in the sauce. I make this differently altogether though, if I was to use top round it would sit in the fridge for a day with a little salt, baking soda, white pepper, oil, shallot, and just a little cornstarch to aid browning. When I say a little cornstarch I mean a scant little pinch.

[@cyrilbellion3228]

That's a misconception. Sticking pans are actually very good as they collect/caramelize a lot of matter that you can deglaze afterwards to obtain a flavory sauce. Non-sticky pans are more a commercial/marketing thing for day-to-day household cooking, and as the coating slowly degrades over time, you will end-up with microscopic teflon particules in your food...

[@vespasiancloscan7077]

Those pans are stainless steel, so they're not non-stick. They have a great lifespan though. Classic non-stick like carbon steel or cast iron also last forever, but they need care. Got to season them, can't use the dishwasher or strong detergents etc.. Modern non-stick such as teflon or ceramic have shorter life spans and a bunch of other issues, but they're more low-effort.
