Beef Stroganoff Recipe – German Style

The Beef Stroganoff recipe comes originally from Russia of the 19th century. The beef Stroganoff recipe as we know,  might have been more of a refined version of an even older Russian recipe, and was probably in the family of the “Count Pavel Stroganoff” for some years.
The count had made the dish well known because he loved to entertain. Count Pavel Stroganoff was a dignitary at the court of Alexander III, a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts, and a gourmet indeed. Serve the beef with pasta of your choice, dumplings, mashed potatoes or rice. Happy Cooking!
