Beef Stroganoff-style stew is a dish of Russian origin that has become popular in various Latin American countries, finding different variants and names depending on the region. In Russia, this stew is known as "Boeuf Stroganoff," and is traditionally prepared with strips of beef sautéed in butter, accompanied by onions and mushrooms, all integrated into a creamy sauce based on sour cream.

In some places, it is known simply as beef stew or beef stroganoff, maintaining the essence of this international preparation.
