Grilled Stroganoff

Have you ever enjoyed Beef Stroganoff? It’s a popular dish that comes to us from Russia, consisting of sauteed beef, onions, and mushrooms in a succulent sour cream sauce.
In the late 19th century, two versions of the dish existed, both named after Count Alexander Grigorievich Stroganoff. Chef Andre Dupont of France created one, making the meat pieces small for the Count, whose teeth were brittle. The other the Count offered as a specialty dish to guests in an open table style for properly dressed and educated people.

Variations on Beef Stroganoff

  • Stroganoff is beautiful in its potential diversity. Try any of these variations:
  • Asian: Add soy sauce, fresh ginger, sesame seeds, and sesame oil to the sauce.
  • Chicken: Substitute chicken for the beef (you can use ground chicken for a smooth sauce)
  • Heat and Sweet: Add chili pepper or hot sauce to the stroganoff with a pinch of sugar.
  • Pork: Cubed pork tenderloin for beef; add a hint of smoky paprika
  • Seafood: Using white wine and extra garlic, seafood stroganoff tastes a bit like scampi. Shrimp and scallops are delectable when prepared this way.
  • Turkey: Use diced turkey or ground for the beef (add in poultry seasoning)
  • Vegetarian: Look to tofu for your “meat” addition.
  • You might also try couscous instead of egg noodles.
