Russian Cooking: Beef Stroganoff

Beef Stroganoff originated in Russia in mid-19th century and has become popular around the world.  Beef Stroganoff is a hearty dish loaded with chunks of sirloin steak and chopped mushrooms, tossed in a savory cream sauce. Strips of meat are seared until golden brown, then simmered in a rich beef gravy, and finished with sour cream. It’s hard to resist this quick and satisfying dish when served on top of egg noodles.
