Beef Stroganoff Beef Stroganoff Beef Stroganoff or beef Stroganov (Russian: бефстроганов "befstróganov") is a Russian dish of sautéed pieces of beef served in a sauce with smetana (sour cream). From its origins in mid-19th-century Russia, it has become popular around the world, with considerable variation from the original recipe. The dish is named either after one of the members of the influential Stroganov family or possibly from the Russian verb строгать (strogat', to chip/shave off (see stroganina)). The first mention of the dish (goviadina po-strogonovski) is made in E. Molokhovets' cookbook "The Gift to Young Housewives" in 1871. Elena Molokhovets's classic Russian
Meat Is Murder charts. Two "Meat Is Murder" album tracks were also used as B-sides of singles — "Well I Wonder" (on the reverse of "How Soon Is Now?") and "What She Said" (on that of "Shakespeare's Sister"). The 2011 remaster of "Meat Is Murder" restored the album's original UK track listing. The album's sleeve uses a 1967 photograph of Marine Cpl. Michael Wynn in the Vietnam War, though with the wording on his helmet changed from "Make War Not Love" to "Meat Is Murder". The original image was used for Emile de Antonio's 1968 documentary "In the Year of the Pig". In
