The commonly accepted history of Beef Stroganoff is that a French chef who worked for a wealthy St. Petersburg family created the dish for a cooking contest in 1891. Following the Russian custom of the day, he named the prize-winning dish for his employer, Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov. A convincing detail sometimes offered is that the thin slices of meat called for were to accommodate the elderly Count’s failing teeth.
Under the Tsars, the Russian upper class was super-wealthy. They were particularly fond of Paris, and often kept apartments there. At home in Russia, they maintained a bi-cultural atmosphere. They sent their sons and daughters to French schools, staffed their homes with French maids and governesses and, of course, French chefs. They spoke Russian in public but preferred French at home and for social gatherings. Tolstoy, a Count himself, wrote War and Peace in alternating French and Russian, confident that his audience was fluent in both.

Among these families, the Stroganovs were among the oldest and the wealthiest, with a massive fortune and a string of palaces and dachas that stretched from St. Petersburg to the Urals. When Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov died without a male heir, the long line of sons of sons of sons came to an end. His eldest daughter, however, married a distant relative who was allowed to inherit the family title and properties.
