Background and History
Beef Stroganoff is a classic Russian dish that has gained international popularity over the years. It is believed to have originated in the mid-19th century and was named after the influential Stroganov family in Russia. Traditionally, Beef Stroganoff consists of thinly sliced beef sautéed with onions and mushrooms in a creamy sauce, typically flavored with sour cream and served over noodles or rice. Cooking it in a slow cooker offers a convenient and hands-off method while ensuring tender, flavorful beef.
