( September 2013 ) Beef Stroganoff Place of origin Russia Main ingredients Beef, smetana ( sour cream ) Cookbook : Beef Stroganoff Media : Beef Stroganoff Beef Stroganoff or Beef Stroganov ( Russian : бефстроганов befstróganov ) is a Russian dish of sautéed pieces of beef served in a sauce with smetana ( sour cream ). From its origins in mid-19th - century Russia, it has become popular around the world, with considerable variation from the original recipe. Contents 1 Name 2 History 3 Around the world 4 See also 5 Notes 6 External links Name The name derived from a Russian diplomat and minister of the interior, Alexander Stroganov. Despite several versions, it remains unclear how the recipe was invented.. History Recipe from A Gift to Young Housewives ( 1887 edition ) Elena Molokhovets 's classic Russian cookbook A Gift to Young Housewives gives the first known recipe for Govjadina po - strogonovski, s gorchitseju, `` Beef à la Stroganov, with mustard '', in its 1871 edition. The recipe involves lightly floured beef cubes ( not strips ) sautéed, sauced with prepared mustard and bouillon, and finished with a small amount of sour cream : no onions, no mushrooms. A competition purported to have taken place in 1890 is sometimes mentioned in the dish 's history, but both the recipe and the name existed before then. Another recipe, this one from 1909, adds onions and tomato sauce, and serves it with crisp potato straws, which are considered the traditional side dish for Beef Stroganoff in Russia. The version given in the 1938 Larousse Gastronomique includes beef strips, and onions, with either mustard or tomato paste optional. Sautéing of beef Stroganoff After the fall of Tsarist Russia, the recipe was popularly served in the hotels and restaurants of China before the start of World War II. Russian and Chinese immigrants, as well as US servicemen stationed in pre-Communist China, brought several variants of the dish to the United States, which may account for its popularity during the 1950s. It came to Hong Kong in the late fifties, with Russian restaurants and hotels serving the dish with rice, but not sour cream. In the version often prepared in the United States today in restaurants and hotels, it consists of strips of beef filet with a mushroom, onion, and sour cream sauce, and is served over rice or noodles. Beef Stroganoff atop pasta In the UK and Australia, a recipe very similar to that commonly found in the United States has become popular, generally served with rice and sometimes with pasta as well as in commercially prepared frozen dishes. Today, the dish is generally served over wide or twisted egg noodles in the United States. 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. Around the world Beef Stroganoff cooked with paprika and served with rice Larousse Gastronomique lists Stroganov as a cream, paprika, veal stock and white wine recipe. The Brazilian variant includes diced beef or strips of beef ( usually filet mignon ) with tomato sauce, onions, mushrooms and heavy cream. Brazilians also prepare Stroganoff with chicken or even shrimp instead of beef. It is commonly served with potato sticks, as in Russia, but with the addition of white rice. Sometimes one can also see creative servings of estrogonofe, such as a crepe filling, a topping for baked potatoes, or on pizzas. Many recipes and variations exist -- with or without wine, with canned sweet corn, with ketchup instead of tomato sauce, etc. Stroganoff is also popular in Nordic countries. In Sweden, a common variant is korv - stroganoff ( sausage Stroganoff ), which uses the local falukorv sausage as a substitute for the beef. In Finland, the dish is called makkara - stroganoff, makkara meaning any kind of sausage. Beef Stroganoff is, however, also a common dish. Diced brined pickles are also a normal ingredient in Finnish Stroganoff. Stroganoff 's popularity extends to Japan, where it is most commonly served with white rice, or white rice seasoned with parsley and butter. Its popularity increased dramatically with the introduction of `` instant sauce cubes '' from S&B corporation. These are cubes with dried seasoning and thickening agents that can be added to water, onion, beef, and mushrooms to make a Stroganoff - style sauce. Additionally, Japanese home recipes for Stroganoff frequently call for `` non-traditional '' Japanese ingredients, such as small amounts of soy sauce.
