    		It's named after the Stroganov family. There are two possible answers as to the first name of a specific Stroganov family member. They are Count Pavel Stroganov and Alexander Grigorievich Stroganoff.

    		There seems to be some disagreement over who really earned the name -- This reports that it was Pavel Stroganov, though there is mention of the dish prior to his cooking competition.

    Beef Stroganoff is reputed to have been invented by the chef to the Russian General, Count Pavel Alexandrovich Stroganov, Beef Stroganoff was first seen at a cooking competition in St Petersburg in the 1890s. Following the fall of Imperial Russia, beef stroganoff made its way to the US and Europe following the Second World War, via hotels and restaurants in China. Russian and Chinese immigrants, as well as U.S. servicemen stationed in pre-socialist China, brought several variants of beef stroganoff to the United States and from there onto Europe.
