BEEF STROGANOFF WITH WILD MUSHROOMS

For time-efficiency, prepare the vegetables while the meat marinates. Serve over mashed potatoes or noodles sprinkled with parsley.

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup   125 mL   white wine
1 tbsp   15 mL   EACH cornstarch and paprika
1/2 tsp   2 mL   salt
1/4 tsp   1 mL   black pepper
1 lb   500 g   Beef Stir-Fry Strips
1 pkg   14 g   dried porcini mushrooms
1   1   onion, chopped
3 cups   750 mL   sliced button mushrooms (8 oz/250 g)
1 tbsp   15 mL   EACH tomato paste and Dijon mustard
1/2 cup   125 mL   light sour cream
    Chopped fresh parsley

PREPARATION TIME: 15 minutes
COOKING TIME: 12-15 minutes
MARINATING TIME: 30 minutes

DIRECTIONS
Combine white wine, cornstarch, paprika, salt and pepper in large sealable freezer bag. Add beef strips; seal bag, squeezing gently to massage marinade into beef. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup (250 mL) boiling water with porcini mushrooms; soak for 20 minutes. Drain through paper towel lined sieve, reserving soaking water. Rinse mushrooms; chop finely and set aside.

Drain meat through colander set over bowl reserving marinade. Stir-fry beef strips using medium-high heat in hot lightly oiled nonstick skillet for 2 minutes or until browned but still pink inside. Transfer meat to clean bowl.

Cook onion and dried and fresh mushrooms in same nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until softened and golden. Increase heat to medium-high. Return beef to skillet along with any juices in bowl, reserved marinade and 1/4 cup (50 mL) reserved mushroom soaking liquid, tomato paste and mustard. Bring to boil, stirring constantly until just thickened. Stir in sour cream and heat through.

TIP
You can also make this stir-fry with Extra Lean Ground Beef instead of strips – prepare the marinade to use as a sauce, skip the marinating step and pan-fry the beef for 8 to 10 minutes with the sautéed onion and mushrooms until the ground beef is cooked thoroughly.
