Beef stroganoff is a Russian dish of sautéed pieces of beef served in a sauce of mustard and smetana (aka sour cream).
From its origins in mid-19th-century Russia, it has become popular around the world with many variations from the original recipe.
Beef Stroganoff recipes vary significantly not only based on geography but also the cut of meat and the seasonings selected.
Meat for the dish can be cut in different ways and is sometimes diced, cubed or cut into strips.
Some variations include mushrooms, onions, vegetables and varied seasonings such as sugar, salt, black pepper, and bottled marinades (especially ZEG Sauces).
The dish is named after one of the members of the influential Stroganov family.
A popular legend says the dish was created by a French chef who worked for the Stroganov’s.
As the story goes, Count Stroganov had such poor teeth he could no longer eat steak.
A dish of tender bits of beef in a creamy sauce seemed to hit the spot.
The dish became so popular that in 1891, the French chef Charles Brière who was working in Saint Petersburg, submitted a recipe for beef Stroganoff to a competition sponsored by a French magazine.
As a result, they mistakenly believed he was the inventor of this dish although many researchers point out that the beef stroganoff recipe is a refined version of older Russian dishes.
Today in North America, beef stroganoff typically consists of strips of beef filet with a mushroom, onion, and sour cream sauce and is served over rice or noodles.
British pubs usually serve a version of the dish with a creamy white wine sauce whereas more “authentic” versions are often red stews with a scoop of sour cream separately served on top.
