Beef stroganoff 1960s gourmet meal Russian roots

May 25, 2018 by Lisa Grable 4 Comments

Beef Stroganoff is a rich beef dish with a lovely sauce made with beef broth and sour cream. In America, beef stroganoff was considered a gourmet meal in the 1960s with recipes from Joy of Cooking and Craig Claiborne at the New York Times. No one is certain how long Russians have been making beef stroganoff, but a recipe is in an 1861 cookbook!Beef stroganoff is old school comfort food with braised beef chunks, mushrooms, and sour cream. Serve over egg noodles, rice, or potatoes.

You will need a pasta pot, cooking spoon, sharp knife, large cooking spoon, and cutting board for meat.beef-stroganoff - 1

Place butter in the pan and turn on high heat. Immediately when the butter melts, add the olive oil and turn down the heat to medium high. Add the sliced mushrooms. Add herbs. Stir and flip the mushrooms until soft, about 7 minutes. Remove the mushrooms to a bowl. Tip: Do not add salt to mushrooms while cooking. I use herbs such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, or tarragon.

Add ½ cup beef broth, minced onion, minced garlic, and ketchup. Stir well. Simmer for 15 minutes. Tip: I use my homemade ketchup. You can also substitute tomato paste with a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce.beef-stroganoff - 12

plumeria barLet’s talk story

Why do I like Russian food? When I was in high school, Nixon opened up relations with the Soviet Union. I got to go on a class trip to Moscow and St. Petersburg with my teachers, Mr. Graham and Mr. Maranian. Incredibly mind expanding! I had the chance to go to St. Petersburg again as an adult, and the food had really improved! Beef stroganoff has the mushrooms and sour cream, Russian ingredients I enjoy.
