Beef Strogonoff w/ Celery, Jerusalem Artichoke, and Lovage
Serves
4

Lovage imparts such a unique flavor and perfume to a dish and I think it holds a great affinity for jerusalem artichokes, celery and sherry. Beef, sour cream and noodles round out the rest of this comfort dish, a real favorite of ours in fall and winter.

Ingredients

  • 8-10 ounce yellow onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, peeled and sliced across into 1/4 " pieces
  • 1 1/2-2 cup jerusalem artichokes, washed but not peeled, sliced into 1/3 inch thick rounds and then cut in half again.
  • 2 pound ground beef chuck, 85% lean
  • Kosher salt and fresh coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3-4 tablespoon chopped fresh lovage
  • 3 tablespoon All Purpose or white whole wheat flour
  • 1- 1 1/2 cup dry cocktail sherry
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne
  • 3 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoon tamari (or Japanese soy sauce)
  • 1 cup sour cream

Directions

  • Step 1

    In hot melted butter, saute onion 3-4 minutes over medium high heat. Add celery and jerusalem artichoke and cook about 5-7 minutes,til they just give when pierced with a skewer. Remove mixture from pan. In same pan,over medium high heat, add butter, melt, and saute beef with s and p til it has released its fat and there is still some pink remaining.

  • Step 2

    Tilting pan, remove fat with spoon or paper towels. Sprinkle beef w/ flour, stir well and cook a few minutes to cook out the raw flour taste; add dry sherry and cook down til little liquid remains.

  • Step 3

    Add cayenne through tamari , stirring well.Taste and adjust seasonings. Add vegetables back in,with lovage. Simmer 20-30 minutes, partially covered, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 4

    Mix in sour cream; taste and adjust as needed.* Simmer a few minutes, just til hot; serve immediately.(Do not let boil or sour cream will separate- ugh!) Serve over al dente fettucini ,drained and well salted.

  • Step 5

    *Notes: If more sherry is needed at this point, cook it down by 2/3 in a small pan over medium high heat, and add to the beef.

  • Step 6

    Sliced and sauteed mushrooms also make a nice addition to this dish, added after the lovage.
