The story goes that the cook at the Russian court made this sauce for his general Stroganoff. Whether it was only made with what was available at the time or whether Mr. Stroganoff had no teeth, let’s leave it like that.

In any case, it means that he briefly fried thin pieces of beef and served them with a sauce of onion, mushrooms and tomato. This was made extra rich with a Russian version of sour cream and what else could it be in Russia than with vodka.

Why is it that we always make stroganoff sauce with peppers? It seems to be because this sauce became popular in the Netherlands when peppers also entered Dutch supermarkets. 

In any case, this world-famous sauce is the perfect accompaniment to a hearty piece of roast beef or a beautiful steak and is sometimes found as a true classic table preparation.
