Anyone have a great recipe for Beef and Mushroom Stew....?!
Answers: or soup? I'm not looking for veggie beef stew, just Mushroom Beef stew or soup. Noodles, rice, etc are ok....I had a great one at a restaurant, but they closed and I can't find a recipe to recreate theirs! Thanks!
Beef Mushroom Stew

Ingredients
2 tsp vegetable oil
1 lb lean stew beef, 1-inch cubes
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 tsp white sugar
1 tsp vegetable oil

Beef and Mushroom Stroganoff, Aussie Style
NGREDIENTS
* 1 tablespoon butter
* 1 onion, chopped
* 1 teaspoon minced garlic
* 8 fresh mushrooms, sliced
* 2 teaspoons curry powder
* 1 pound beef top sirloin, thinly sliced
* 2 cubes beef bouillon
* 1 1/2 cups boiling water

5. Remove pot from heat and remove bouquet garni. Adjust seasonings and serve with sour cream and lemon.
This is a traditional Russian soup that is served as a meal by itself. Vodka is usually served with it. Garnish with fresh lemon slices and sour cream.
BEEF AND MUSHROOM STEW
2-1/2 lb. rump roast
4-5 Tbs. oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped small
1 48 oz. can beef broth
1 tsp. Kitchen Bouquet
2 celery stalks, chopped find (for flavor)
3 crushed garlic cloves
8 (10 oz). Portobello mushrooms, diced OR 2 cans mushrooms, drained
6 oz. (1/2 pkg.) vermicelli
Slice roast into 1-inch thick slices. Lay those flat and cut lengthwise into 1-inch strips. Cut each strip into 1-1/2-inch cubes. Toss meat well with Kitchen Bouquet. Add oil to large, hot stock pot. Carefully add meat cubes in a single layer. If necessary, brown in batches, removing one batch before adding another. Cook on high until fluids begin to evaporate and meat browns, stirring occasionally. When all batches of meat are browned, return all to pot. Stir chopped onions and garlic into meat until onions are browned and translucent. Add beef broth and bring to boil. Lower heat, allowing stew
to simmer covered, for 2-3 hours. Meat should come apart easily when done. When meat is close to being as tender as you like, add celery. Gently stir in mushrooms. Add vermicelli. If liquid needs thickening, add well-dissolved flour and water and heat fairly high to desired consistency. When vermicelli is tender, remove from heat and serve.

Beef and Mushroom Stew:
3? hours 25 min prep
6-8 servings
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices bacon, finely chopped
1 onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 carrot, peeled and sliced into thick coins
1 stalk celery, thickly sliced
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (you can use less, if you wish)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 lbs stewing beef, in large cubes
1/2 cup red wine
2 cups chicken stock
1 1/2 cups peeled white pearl onions (optional)
1/2 lb button mushrooms, cleaned and left whole
1 cup sour cream (lowfat is fine)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley
In a Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter and add oil.
Add bacon pieces to fat and cook, stirring often, until bacon starts to brown.
Add onion, garlic, carrots, celery, worcestershire, and herbs and spices.
Cook, stirring often, until onion is softened (it takes about 5 minutes).
Pat beef cubes dry with a paper towel, if necessary, then dredge in flour until cubes are evenly coated.
Increase heat under Dutch oven to medium-high and cook beef, adding a few pieces at a time to pan; let pieces brown before adding new ones.
When all beef cubes have browned, add wine to pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring and scraping up any brown bits on bottom of pan.
Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, partially cover pot, and let simmer for one hour.
Stir in pearl onions; if you don't want to be bothered peeling the pearl onions, substitute 1-1/2 cups of cubed yellow onion.
Continue to cook on low heat, partially covered, for another hour.
Remove pot lid and add mushrooms; simmer for 30 additional minutes; beef should be very tender.
Just before serving, remove pot from heat and stir in sour cream and parsley; return to heat to heat through; DO NOT ALLOW TO BOIL.
Taste, add more salt and pepper if necessary, fish out bay leaf (if you can find it) and discard, and serve.
I serve it with rice (personal preference) but mashed potatoes or egg noodles also work well.
