Origin of stroganoff
From French stroganoff, ellipsis of bœuf Stroganoff (whence English beef stroganoff), from bœuf (“beef”) + Stroganoff (from Russian Стро́ганов (Stróganov)), named after one of the members of the Stroganov family, a distinguished Russian family involved in the settlement of Siberia. It has been debated whether it is named after the diplomat Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov or the politician Alexander Stroganov. For the French-style postpositive placement of Stroganoff, compare chicken Kiev and bananas Foster.
Unadapted borrowing from French Stroganoff, from Russian Строганов m (Stroganov) (also Строганова f (Stroganova)).
