Stroganoff is a dish of Russian origin dating back to the 19th century, named after the influential Stroganov family. Originally, this recipe combined sautéed beef cubes with a creamy sauce of sour cream, onion, and mushrooms, which quickly became a classic of Russian cuisine. Over time, Stroganoff became popular in various Latin American countries, where it received different names depending on the region. In Mexico, it is commonly known as "beef Stroganoff," while in countries like Argentina and Chile, the original name is maintained, or it is also called "carne a la Stroganoff." In other places, such as Peru, the recipe may be adapted with local ingredients to give it a special touch. No matter what it is called, this dish stands out for the tenderness of its meat and the comforting flavor of its creamy sauce.
Stroganoff is ideal for those looking for a practical and tasty recipe that can be prepared in advance, especially in slow cookers or crockpots, simplifying the process and enhancing the flavors.
