Notes
Chef Notes:
• In my personal opinion, the addition of caramelized mushrooms and onions elevates the recipe bringing out more umami delicious flavor in addition to only having beef in it.
• It’s important that the pan or pot be large to help caramelize all of the different ingredients which will require a lot of surface area.
• Spread the beef across the entire pan to ensure you get a sear on each piece.
• The brandy should evaporate and incorporate into the ingredients in the pan.
• The beef stock should be reduced to about ¼ cup to ½ cup before adding in the final ingredients.
