Beef Stroganoff with capers is an exquisite dish of European cuisine, rooted in Russian tradition. The classic Beef Stroganoff, named after Count Stroganov, has received a new interpretation with the addition of tangy capers. Tender beef fillet soaked in creamy sauce reveals a rich flavor complemented by garlic aroma and fresh dill. Whipped potato puree adds softness to the dish and contrasts with the rich meat notes. Capers add a light acidity, balancing the creamy base and giving a distinctive Mediterranean touch. This dish is perfect for festive lunches or dinners, offering gourmets a refined combination of flavors and textures.
