This hearty Russian classic, which originated in the 1950s, has since become famous around the world. A stew consisting of sautéed beef, mushrooms, onions and sour cream, it has lots of variations. It is usually served with rice but it may also be accompanied by egg noodles. Traditional varieties tend to contain lean strips of beef, lightly floured and sautéed in bullion and mustard.
