Stroganoff is a traditional dish of Russian origin, whose name comes from a noble family called Stroganov, who popularized this recipe in the 19th century. This dish has transcended borders and is known in various Latin American countries, although with some variations and local names. For example, in Mexico it is commonly known as "Stroganoff", as it is in Argentina and Chile, while in other countries it can be found with adaptations that include ingredients typical of the region.
The original recipe consists of strips of beef, cooked in a cream sauce with mustard and mushrooms. However, in many Latin American versions, ground beef is used to make it more accessible and economical, without losing its characteristic flavor. Stroganoff is appreciated for its creamy texture and intense flavor, perfect to serve with noodles or rice.
