Named after the Russian noble Stroganoff family, the emergency food composition of the classic consists of beef and rice. The culinary homage to the namesake and to St. Petersburg at the end of the 19th century offers gourmet delights for connoisseurs. Depending on your individual taste and the ingredients you have with you, you can refine it with paprika, tarragon, vinegar, sherry, cognac or white wine. But even without any additions, the beef stroganoff with rice is a hearty classic in outdoor cooking that has found fans beyond the borders of the north-western city of millions with a moving history for two centuries now.
