Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Wash and dry all produce. In a small pot, combine chicken stock concentrate and 4 cups water (7 cups for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer. While stock simmers, trim and thinly slice mushrooms. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.

  2. 2

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add scallion whites and rice. Cook, stirring, until rice is translucent, 1-2 minutes. Add ½ cup stock and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, until liquid has mostly absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock, adding ½ cup at a time and stirring until liquid has mostly absorbed, until rice is al dente and creamy, 30-35 minutes (we’ll start the beef after 10 minutes). TIP: You may not use all the stock.

  3. 3

    Once risotto has cooked for 10 minutes, pat beef dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a second large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook to desired doneness, 4-7 minutes per side. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate to rest. Wipe out pan.

  4. 4

    Heat a drizzle of oil in same pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 4-5 minutes. Add ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4 servings) and beef stock concentrate. Let reduce until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 TBSP plain butter (3 TBSP for 4). Taste and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Once risotto is finished cooking, stir in truffle butter and Parmesan. Taste and season generously with salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Divide risotto and beef between plates. Spoon mushroom sauce over beef. Garnish with scallion greens and serve.
