Beef Stroganoff Recipes

Beef stroganoff is a Russian dish that first made an appearance in the 19th century. The recipe originally called for lightly floured and sautéed beef cubes, sauced with mustard and bouillon and finished with sour cream. In 1912 the recipe added tomato pasta and onions and served the mixture over crispy potato straws. The beef cubes were replaced with beef strips in 1938. In the 1950’s US servicemen stationed in China brought the recipe and meal to the US. The beef stroganoff recipe that is most often seen in the US today consists of beef strips with a mushroom, onion, and sour cream sauce served over pasta or rice. Below are three beef stroganoff recipes: Shortcut Beef Stroganoff, Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff, and Vegetarian "Beef" Stroganoff.
