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.
