Beef Stroganoff Risotto
"Ultra comfort-food for my daughter, when she comes home from college! Be sure to use arborio rice, and keep stirring. Although risotto is usually a side dish, this is DEFINATELY a main-course in my book!"

- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 yellow onion, diced

- 1⁄4 cup very dry sherry

- 3 -4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mushroom, powder (optional)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups arborio rice
- 4 cups beef broth (homemade, or enrich standard beef broth with Knorr beef concentrate)
- 3⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
directions
- Preheat large Dutch oven sized pot. Season ground beef with salt & pepper. Brown, but don't over cook. Drain if necessary (leave some for cooking onions & mushrooms) and remove to plate.
- In same pan, add a little olive oil if necessary. Sauté mushrooms until caramelized. Set aside in a bowl. Into same pan, add diced onion until almost caramelized. Add sherry, hot sauce, Worcestershire, mushroom powder, and garlic powder. Cook 2-3 more minutes.
- Add rice and stir well. Add broth ¾ cup at a time. Cook down - stirring often until almost absorbed, but loose. Total should be about 20 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and return ground beef, butter, Parmesan, and sour cream. Stir well. Cook 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately, topped with chopped fresh chives.
- Should be creamy and RICH!

In the recipe, mushroom powder is mentioned. Is this by mistake? As it is not mentioned in the ingredients. Also, if the recipe is followed exactly, how many people would it feed as a main course? Thanks.

Most definitely ultra comfort food! I added 3 cloves garlic and we really enjoyed this tasty, filling and easy dish! -
This was very good and I will make it again. It was quick and easy to make... I didn't have any sherry so I used red wine, but good just the same. Thank You for posting this :) -

I love risotto in general and I love this variation of it, too. I did not use the mushrooms or hot sauce and it was still delicious. It was creamy and full of flavor. I wasn't sure what to do with the ground beef as the recipe never mentioned it after cooking it. So, I added about 1/2 pound back in at the same time I added the butter, sour cream, and parmesan. To me 1 pound would have been WAY too much. 1/2 pound was perfect. Thanks for the recipe. -
great tasty recipe thats easy to cook. I also used red wine as that what I had available. My kids even liked and ate the mushromms with out too much fuss.

I'm an empty-nester who enjoys nothing more than cooking for family and friends. When those are not available, my dogs make EXCELLENT and enthusiastic Guinea pigs for testing new recipes. Not surprisingly, I've found that the German Shorthaired Pointers have much more discriminating palates than do the Goldens, who would eat anything -and I mean ANYTHING- that wasn't nailed down (and some things that were). They are all convinced that I'm a gourmet chef, however they're a pretty easy audience.
