This spiced Russian beef Stroganoff recipe makes a deliciously rich and creamy rendition of the beef and mushroom dish once cooked in the grand kitchen of the Stroganoff Palace in St Petersburg. My beef Stroganoff recipe is based on a combination of my Russian family recipe, and the earliest documented Russian Stroganoff recipes dating to the late 1880s. Serve my beef Strog with mashed potato, fried potatoes or shoestring fries as the Russians do.
