Synopsis

Have you ever wondered why the Beef Stroganoff in your local supermarket has such a strange name? Probably not. Neither did I. For me, beef Stroganoff was just a sort of meat. So it was especially astonishing to discover that this is "Beef a la Stroganoff". That is, beef prepared according to the recipe of the famous XIX century Russian aristocrat Count Stroganoff. Count Alexander Grigorievich Stroganoff was gourmet renown in Europe and the Russian Empire for his exquisite cuisine and refined taste.
