About Beef Stroganoff
Beef Stroganoff is a Russian dish of thin strips of beef sautéed and served in a creamy sauce of sour cream, onions and mushrooms, often with a little mustard.
The dish is named after the Stroganov family, wealthy Russian nobles, and first appeared in Russian cookbooks in the 19th century. The original version was simply beef in a mustard and sour cream sauce; mushrooms and onions were added later.
After the Russian Revolution, emigrants spread the dish around the world, and it became popular in the United States, Europe and Brazil in the mid-20th century. In Russia it is served with fried potatoes, while elsewhere it is often served over egg noodles or rice.
