The Story Behind It

The Tale of Beef Stroganoff

Story updated September 18, 2026

Beef stroganoff originated in 19th-century Russia, reportedly named for the aristocratic Stroganov family, though the exact creator is disputed. The dish spread internationally through Russian émigrés and became an American comfort-food staple by the mid-20th century, often served over egg noodles.
