In essence, Beef Stroganoff is the traditional French fricassée de boeuf with the addition of the onions and sour cream that are traditional to Russia.
The dish was developed for a cooking competition in 1891 by the French chef Charles Briere chef who worked for a wealthy St. Petersburg family, according to the dish’s widely recognized history.
He gave his employer, Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov, the honorary title of the winning dish in keeping with the prevailing Russian custom of the time.
The explanation that the thin beef slices were necessary to suit the elderly Count’s failing teeth is a convincing one that is occasionally provided.
