Father's Day Mushroom Stroganoff

My father loves mushrooms, so Mushroom Stroganoff seemed like good thing to make for Father's Day*. Alton maintains in the intro for this dish that the Russian's love mushrooms and the earthy flavor of the goat cheese is Russian in character. I can't comment on that, since my expertise in Russian food is limited. I do know that Russian peasant food, like peasant food everywhere, is cheap. This is not cheap; portobello mushrooms are one of the more expensive varieties in my neighborhood so let's call it the aristocratic stroganoff.

Reducing Mushrooms

Difficulty Level: Medium
Will It Get Made Again? Not likely. It's perfectly good, but not especially impressive. With the ingredient price tag I want greatness to make it repeatable.

*My father isn't especially invested in Father's Day as holiday, but he appreciated dinner and considered this perfectly good as well.
