Traditional Russian Dish That Is Loved All Over The World Posted by on Jun 29, 2020 in Culture, Traditions

Today we will eat like real barons. Beef Stroganoff is a dish, popular around the world, named after Alexander Stroganov, Russia’s minister of the interior, baron, and count of the 19th century. According to the main version of its history, the dish was invented by a French cook, who served the Stroganovs, Andre Dupont. However, some believe that the dish was invented for the so-called “open table”, which the count often arranged.

Beef Stroganoff is an excellent source of Protein, Selenium, Iron, Niacin, Vitamin B, Zinc, and Selenium. Its preparation varies. The classic recipe is brilliant in its simplicity – a pound of meat, a glass of sour cream, which makes it juicy and tender, and some spices. The chef combined some French culinary techniques and the Russian way of serving food, when the sauce was not on the side but rather alongside a meal as a gravy. This dish is loved in different countries. It is on the menu of many world-famous restaurants.

Let’s get started cooking Russian traditional Beef Stroganoff (Бефстро́ганов).
