📖 The Story Behind This Dish

This dish is said to have been created in the 19th century by a cook for the noble Stroganov family. Quickly sautéing strips of beef and finishing them mellow with sour cream was novel at the time, and it's called a pioneer of fusion, combining French technique with Russian ingredients. Today it's a home-cooking classic not only in Russia but around the world.
