Drawing inspiration from the abundance of ingredients available in the region, Chef Scherbatov set out to create a masterpiece that would become synonymous with the Stroganoff family name.
Using tender beef tenderloin as the centerpiece of the dish, Chef Scherbatov carefully sliced it into thin strips so that each piece would cook quickly and remain tender.

It’s a French classic and not a Russian classic as you claim, the dish was invented by a French chef.

[@Cookbook-secrets-legends]

Thank you for your comment! While it's true that the origins of Beef Stroganov have some debate, many culinary historians attribute its creation to Russian cuisine. Beef Stroganov is commonly considered a Russian dish due to its historical association with Russian nobility and the prominent Stroganov family. The earliest known recipe for Beef Stroganov appears in the 19th-century Russian cookbook "A Gift to Young Housewives" by Elena Molokhovets. This suggests that the dish has roots in Russian culinary tradition. The Stroganov family, who were wealthy Russian merchants and patrons of the arts, are often credited with popularizing the dish. The version of Beef Stroganov we know today-thin strips of beef in a rich sour cream and mustard sauce-emerged as a symbol of Russian aristocratic cuisine. While it's acknowledged that French culinary influences were present in Russian aristocratic kitchens during this time, the dish's association with Russian cookbooks and its prominence in Russian culinary history contribute to its classification as a Russian classic. The debate over the dish's origin reflects the complex interplay of culinary traditions across different cultures and regions.

Yes, Stroganoff is a classic French name. Obviously.

Way overcooked the meat.

We'll certainly take note of your comment and adjust our cooking techniques accordingly. While some prefer their meat with a slight pink center, others enjoy it well-done.
