Meat in a Stroganoff style or "Beef Stroganoff" Buf Stroganoff - Strawgano beef. It was named after Count Stroganov Alexander Grigorievich. It is a hint that there will be a story now. I do not know if it's worth listing all the stories I've read, but 2 of them seem more truthful to me, you yourself choose what to believe. The first. Being a wealthy man, Count Stroganov conducted - "open tables", only those educated and neatly dressed were allowed to attend them (it is interesting on what grounds education was determined ?!). Meat in a Stroganovian way was well divided into portions, thus, the servant had the opportunity to conveniently put it in the plates to the guests. The second. It seems that the French cook invented the dish, especially for Count Stroganov, when he could not chew hard meat in old age. In general, I do not know what to believe, but a little history will not hurt. Now about cooking. For befstroganov it is better to take the pulp of beef - cutting or scapula. In the original recipe of spices, only black pepper, but since we receded from the original in the sauce, I allowed myself to add there still ground nutmeg. About taste. There is hardly anyone who has not tried befstroganov. Soft meat, in a gentle creamy sauce, will please both adults and children. Garnish ... your favorite! Returning to the original, we read: fried potatoes, but I like the taste of air mashed potatoes, abundantly watered with creamy tomato sauce.
