STROGANOFF
Etymology
Noun
stroganoff (plural stroganoffs)
A dish of sautéed pieces of beef (or a substitute) served in a sauce with sour cream.
Usage notes
Stroganoff is sometimes, but not always, capitalised. Although it may originally have functioned as an adjective following the noun beef, it is now often regarded as a noun in itself, just as preparations of chicken Kiev are now frequently referred to as kievs.
