The recipe

Ingredients

Contains: milk, shellfish (auto-detected from the ingredients and method; we can miss things, so check labels)

Directions

  1. Chop the onion coarsely with the metal blade of a food processor, about 4 pulses. Set aside. Drop the garlic and ginger through the feed tube with the motor running and chop finely, about 10 seconds.

  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the beef, onion, water, and salt and simmer over low heat until just tender, about 1 hour and 50 minutes. Add the garlic, ginger, and remaining ingredients and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes.

  3. Makes 5 servings
