This is one of my all time favorites.
Beef stroganoff is one of those globally classic dishes that originated in Russia in the middle of the 19th century. By the 1950s, American cooks were discovering global flavors, and the simplicity of this dish made it a staple in many households. Some recipes used mushrooms, mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Some went a little Hungarian and included paprika, and some went for a German twist with different types of mushrooms, caraway and noodles.
My family was made up of German and Russian Jews, and my grandmother had a Hungarian woman come to the house every Friday, cook several meals, stay over, clean on Saturday morning and depart at sundown. Guess it’s no coincidence that I make my beef stroganoff the way that I do. I am a product of history, just like you. Give this recipe a go and let me know what you think.
