63-652: Beef Stroganoff The House of Stroganov or Strogonov (Russian: Стро́гановы, Стро́гоновы ), French spelling: Stroganoff , was a Russian noble family of highly successful Russian merchants, industrialists, landowners, and statesmen . From the time of Ivan the Terrible ( r.  1533–1584 ) they were the richest businessmen in the Tsardom of Russia . They financed the Russian conquest of Siberia (1580 onwards) and Prince Pozharsky 's 1612 reconquest of Moscow from

126-520: A body length of 35–51 centimetres (14–20 in), with a tail length of 7.2–11.5 centimetres (2.8–4.5 in). The winter pelage is longer and more luxurious than the summer coat. Different subspecies display geographic variations of fur colour, which ranges from light to dark brown, with individual coloring being lighter ventrally and darker on the back and legs. Japanese sables (known locally as クロテン or kuroten ) in particular are marked with black on their legs and feet. Individuals also display

189-495: A common variant is Korv Stroganoff ( lit.   ' sausage Stroganoff ' ), which uses the local falukorv sausage as a substitute for the beef. In Finland, the dish is called makkara-stroganoff , makkara meaning any kind of sausage. Beef Stroganoff is, however, also a common dish. Diced brined pickles are also a normal ingredient in Finnish Stroganoff. Stroganoff's popularity extends to Japan, where it

252-494: A cream, paprika , veal stock and white wine recipe. The Brazilian variant includes diced beef or strips of beef with tomato sauce, onions, mushrooms and heavy cream. Brazilians also prepare Stroganoff with chicken or even shrimp instead of beef. It is commonly served with a side of shoe-string potatoes and white rice. In Portuguese it is called Strogonoff or Estrogonofe . Stroganoff is also popular in Nordic countries . In Sweden,

315-506: A female kidus successfully breeding with a male pine marten. In Russia, the sable's distribution is largely the result of mass re-introductions involving 19,000 animals between 1940 and 1965. Their range extends northward to the tree line, and extends south to 55–60° latitude in western Siberia, and 42° in the mountainous areas of eastern Asia. Their western distribution encompasses the Ural Mountains , where they are sympatric with

378-499: A highly valued item in the fur trade since the early Middle Ages , and is generally considered to have the most beautiful and richly tinted pelt among martens. Sable fur is unique because it retains its smoothness in every direction it is stroked. The fur of other animals feels rough stroked against the grain. A wealthy 17th-century Russian diplomat once described the sable as "A beast that the Ancient Greeks and Romans called

441-946: A light patch of fur on their throat which may be gray, white, or pale yellow. The fur is softer and silkier than that of American martens . Sables greatly resemble pine martens in size and appearance, but have more elongated heads, longer ears and proportionately shorter tails. Their skulls are similar to those of pine martens, but larger and more robust with more arched zygomatic arches . Sables inhabit dense forests dominated by spruce , pine , larch , Siberian cedar , and birch in both lowland and mountainous terrain. They defend home territories that may be anything from 4 to 30 square kilometres (1.5 to 11.6 sq mi) in size, depending on local terrain and food availability. However, when resources are scarce they may move considerable distances in search of food, with travel rates of 6 to 12 kilometres (3.7 to 7.5 mi) per day having been recorded. Sables live in burrows near riverbanks and in

504-473: A mushroom, onion, and sour cream sauce, and is served over rice or noodles. Today, the dish is generally served over wide or twisted egg noodles in the United States. British pubs usually serve a version of the dish with a creamy white wine sauce, whereas more "authentic" versions are often red stews with a scoop of sour cream separately served on top. Larousse Gastronomique lists Stroganoff as

567-499: A number of larger carnivores, such as wolves, foxes, wolverines , tigers , lynxes , eagles and large owls . Mating generally occurs between June and August 15, though the date varies geographically. When courting, sables run, jump and "rumble" like cats . Males dig metre long shallow grooves in the snow, frequently accompanied by urination. Males fight each other violently for females. Females enter estrus in spring. Mating can last as long as eight hours. After insemination ,

630-505: A practical one. Shortly after, when the young Shigi Qutuqu was found wandering a destroyed Tatar camp, he was recognised to be of noble descent because of his sable-lined silk jerkin . According to Atkinson's Travels in Asiatic Russia , Barguzin , on Lake Baikal , was famed for its sables. The fur of this population is a deep jet black with white tipped hair. Eighty to ninety dollars were sometimes demanded by hunters for

693-657: A single skin. In 1916, the first nature reserve in the Russian Empire was created—known as the Barguzin Nature Reserve —precisely to preserve and increase the numbers of Barguzin sable. Sable fur would continue to be the most favoured fur in Russia, until the discovery of sea otters in the Kamchatka peninsula, whose fur was considered even more valuable. Sable furs were coveted by the nobility of

756-602: A thousand, as Russia at the time was unable to enforce the tribute due to wars with Sweden and Poland. The best skins were obtained in Irkutsk and Kamchatka . According to the Secret History of the Mongols , when Genghis Khan married his first wife, Börte Ujin, his mother Hoelun received a coat of sable furs from the girl's parents. This was reportedly a very noble gift, serving not only an aesthetic need but also

819-470: A very thin layer of hair. Newborn cubs weigh between 25 and 35 grams (0.88 and 1.23 oz) and average 10 to 12 centimetres (3.9 to 4.7 in) in length. They open their eyes between 30 and 36 days, and leave the nest shortly afterwards. At seven weeks, the young are weaned and given regurgitated food. They reach sexual maturity at the age of two years. They have been reported to live for up to twenty two years on fur farms, and up to eighteen years in

882-525: A wood and a salt mine in Ustyug district. Vladimir Stroganov's lineage is still continued in the direct male line. However, his descendants became state peasants. His youngest son, Anikey Fyodorovich Stroganov (1488–1570), was the progenitor of the ennobled lineage of the Stroganov family. This lineage is now extinct. He opened the salterns in 1515, which would later become a huge industry. In 1558, Ivan

945-596: Is a species of marten , a small omnivorous mammal primarily inhabiting the forest environments of Russia , from the Ural Mountains throughout Siberia , and northern Mongolia . Its habitat also borders eastern Kazakhstan , China , North Korea and Hokkaido , Japan . The name "sable" originates from Slavic languages and entered Western European languages through the medieval fur trade. Sables are small, omnivorous mammals that inhabit dense forests in regions like Russia, Mongolia, and China. They are known for their luxurious fur, which ranges from light to dark brown and

1008-560: Is most commonly served with white rice, or white rice seasoned with parsley and butter. Its popularity increased dramatically with the introduction of "instant sauce cubes" from S&B Foods . These are cubes with dried seasoning and thickening agents that can be added to water, onion, beef, and mushrooms to make a Stroganoff-style sauce. Additionally, Japanese home recipes for Stroganoff frequently call for ingredients that are outside of Russian tradition, such as small amounts of soy sauce. Sable The sable ( Martes zibellina )

1071-555: Is named after one of the members of the Stroganov family . A legend attributes its invention to French cooks working for the family, but several researchers point out that the recipe is a refined version of older Russian dishes. In Russian the dish is called Бефстро́ганов from the French Bœuf Stroganoff . Elena Molokhovets  [ ru ] 's classic Russian cookbook A Gift to Young Housewives gives

1134-715: Is often used to decorate clothing items, and the species has no special conservation status according to the IUCN Red List . The name sable appears to be of Slavic origin and entered most Western European languages via the early medieval fur trade. Thus the Russian соболь ( sobol' ) and Polish soból became the German Zobel , Dutch sabel ; the French zibeline , Spanish cibelina, cebellina , Finnish soopeli , Portuguese zibelina and Medieval Latin zibellina derive from

1197-484: Is softer and silkier than that of American martens . Sables resemble pine martens in size and appearance but have more elongated heads, longer ears, and shorter tails. They are skilled climbers and primarily hunt by sound and scent. Mating occurs between June and August, and litters typically have two or three offspring. Sable fur has been highly valued in the fur trade since the early Middle Ages, and its popularity has driven hunting and conservation efforts. Today, sable fur

1260-685: The European pine marten . They are also found on Sakhalin . In Mongolia, sables occur in the Altai Mountains and in the surrounding forests of Lake Hovsgol , the latter being contiguous with the Trans-Baikal boreal forest region from which the most valuable sable pelts come. In China, sables occur in a limited area of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region . In northeastern China, sables are now limited to

1323-535: The Golden Fleece ." Russian sables would typically be skinned over the mouth with no incision being made on the body. The feet would be retained, so as to keep as much fur as possible. Byzantine priests would wear sable for their rituals. In England , sable fur was held in great esteem. Henry I was presented with a wreath of black sable by the Bishop of Lincoln, for no less than £100, a considerable sum at

1386-849: The Greater Khingan Range . In eastern Heilongjiang, the persistence of sables is suspected in the Lesser Khingan Range . Sables also occur in Hokkaido and on the Korean peninsula. Because of the variable appearance of the sable in different geographic localities, there has been some debate over the exact number of subspecies that can be clearly identified. Mammal Species of the World recognises seventeen different subspecies, but other recent scholarly sources have identified anything from seven to thirty. Sable fur has been

1449-598: The Italian form ( zibellino ). The English and Medieval Latin word sabellum comes from the Old French sable or saible . The term has become a generic description for some black-furred animal breeds, such as sable cats or rabbits , and for the colour black in heraldry . Males measure 38–56 centimetres (15–22 in) in body length, with a tail measuring 9–12 centimetres (3.5–4.7 in), and weigh 880–1,800 grams (1.94–3.97 lb). Females have

1512-537: The Poles . The Stroganov school of icon-painting (late 16th and 17th centuries) takes its name from them. The most recent common ancestor of the family was Fyodor Lukich Stroganov (died 1497), a salt industrialist. His elder son, Vladimir, became the founder of a branch whose members eventually became state peasants ; this lineage continues. The lineage from Fyodor Lukich Stroganov's youngest son, Anikey (1488–1570), died out in 1923. Anikey's descendants became members of

1575-560: The Revolution intervened, and prevented the poor Stroganov branch from coming into their inheritance. The titled branch of the Stroganov family was descended from Anikey Stroganov , the youngest son of Fyodor Lukich Stroganov (d. 1497). Since the 17th century Anika's descendants were very close to the royal court; they mingled with the highest nobility and even intermarried with some. During this time of their prime, they started to alienate their impoverished, almost peasant, relations from

1638-564: The Russian Empire , with very few skins ever being found outside the country during that period. Some, however, would be privately obtained by Jewish traders and brought annually to the Leipzig fair. Sometimes, sable hunting was a job given to convicts exiled to Siberia. Imperial Russian fur companies produced 25,000 skins annually, with nearly ninety percent of the produce being exported to France and Germany . The civic robes of

Instead, implantation occurs eight months later ; although gestation lasts 245 to 298 days, embryonic development requires only 25–30 days. Sables birth in tree hollows, where they build nests composed of moss, leaves, and dried grass. Litters number one to seven young, although litters of two or three are most common. Males assist females by defending their territories and providing food. Sables are born with eyes closed and skin covered in

He was a provider to the tsar of luxuries, including sable fur. In 1574, together with brother Grigory, he was granted large lands in Siberia , along the Ob River . In 1577, he was granted iron bogs and a forest in Sodrolinskaya volost with the right to establish ironworks there. Grigory Anikeevich Stroganov (1533–1577) received large lands in

1890-571: The French chef Charles Brière, who was working in Saint Petersburg, submitted a recipe for beef Stroganoff to a competition sponsored by the French magazine L'Art culinaire . This led Larousse Gastronomique to assume that he was the inventor of this dish, but both the recipe and the name existed before then. Another recipe, this one from 1909, adds onions and tomato sauce , and serves it with crisp potato straws, which are considered

1953-476: The Lord Mayor and Corporation of London , which were worn on State occasions, were trimmed with sable. As with minks and martens, sables were commonly caught in steel traps. Intensified hunting in Russia in the 19th and early 20th century caused a severe-enough decline in numbers that a five-year ban on hunting was instituted in 1935, followed by a winter-limited licensed hunt. These restrictions together with

2016-717: The Stroganov Foundation was the inspiration of Baroness Hélène de Ludinghausen, who lives in Paris and whose mother, Princess Xenia Alexandrovna Shcherbatova-Stroganova, was born in the Stroganov Palace. The lineage traced to the youngest brother, Anikey Stroganov , (the ennobled branch) died out in male line in 1923. The peasant lineage traced from the elder brother Vladimir Stroganov continues to date. [REDACTED] Media related to House of Stroganov at Wikimedia Commons Beef Stroganoff The dish

They used to own rich libraries, collections of paintings, coins, medals etc. Stroganov Palace (now one of the buildings of the State Russian Museum ) is among the chief sights of Nevsky Prospekt in Saint Petersburg . In 1911, Count Pavel Sergeyevich Stroganov died without issue. His death stirred litigation for his fortune between his relations in female lines and

2142-459: The Stroganovs developed farming, hunting , saltworks, fishing, and ore mining in these areas. They built towns and fortresses and, at the same time, suppressed local unrest with the help of a small private army (such private units were known as " druzhina s"), and annexed new lands in the Urals and Siberia in favor of Russia. Yakov Anikeevich Stroganov (1528–1577) made Ivan the Terrible forbid

2205-495: The Terrible granted to Anikey Stroganov and his successors large estates in what was at the time the eastern edge of Russian settlement, along the Kama and Chusovaya Rivers . In 1566, at their own request, their lands were included in the " oprichnina ", the territory within Russia under the direct authority of Ivan the Terrible. Seizing lands from the local population by conquest and colonizing them with incoming Russian peasants,

2268-414: The animal travels more widely in search of prey. Sables are omnivores , and their diet varies seasonally. In the summer, they eat large numbers of mountain hare and other small mammals. In winter, when they are confined to their retreats by frost and snow, they feed on wild berries, rodents , hares, and even small musk deer . They also hunt ermine , small weasels and birds. Sometimes, sables follow

2331-646: The baronial title by Peter the Great in 1722. During the Great Northern War of 1700–1721, the Stroganovs rendered sizable financial support to the government of Peter the Great , for which Alexander Grigoriyevich , Nikolay Grigoriyevich , and Sergei Grigoriyevich would be raised to the rank of baron in 1722 and later to that of count . From then on, the Stroganovs were members of the Russian aristocracy and held important government posts. Most of

Some variations include mushrooms and onions or other vegetables and varied seasonings such as sugar, salt, black pepper, and bottled marinades (especially Worcestershire sauce ) and rubs. In the version often prepared in the United States today in restaurants and hotels, it consists of strips of beef filet with

2520-504: The development of sable farms have allowed the species to recolonize much of its former range and attain healthy numbers. The Soviet Union allowed Old Believer communities to continue their traditional way of life on the condition that they hand over all sable skins they produced. The dissolution of the Soviet Union led to an increase of hunting and poaching in the 1990s, in part because wild caught Russian furs are considered

2583-533: The dish to the United States, which may account for its popularity during the 1950s. It came to Hong Kong in the late fifties, with Russian restaurants and hotels serving the dish with rice but not sour cream. In 1960s United States, several manufacturers introduced dehydrated beef stroganoff mixes, which were mixed with cooked beef and sour cream. It was also available freeze-dried for campers. Beef Stroganoff preparation varies significantly not only based on geography, but based on other factors as well, such as

2646-473: The elder sons of Fyodor Lukich Stroganov, had become impoverished by the 18th century, and entered the class of state peasants. Vladimir inherited his father's properties in Solvychegodsk. Later he purchased the village of Tsyrennikovo, to the north of Solvychegodsk, for a hundred rubles. This place was the family seat of this branch for generations. Afanasy Vladimirovich Stroganov (d. 1607) was engaged in

It had been believed that the family's progenitor was a merchant in Veliky Novgorod . However, historian Andrey Vvedensky concluded in his research on the family's genealogy, that they should have been hailing from wealthy Pomor peasants (i.e. Russians from Russia's subarctic north, in

2898-505: The late 16th century, the Stroganovs had become enormously large landowners and salt industrialists. In the early 17th century, owing to the Turmoil , they strengthened their positions by sponsoring the central government's struggle against claimants to the throne and Polish invaders. The family started to gradually merge with the nobility. In 1608 Kozma Danilovich Stroganov (1580–1617) was the voivode at Totma. He died without issue. During

He was a local salt industrialist and owner of properties in town, which he passed down to his elder son, Vladimir. He had two brothers, Semyon and Ivan, whose descendants are unknown. He also had six sons: Stefan, Joseph (Osip), Vladimir, Ivan nicknamed Vyshnyak, Afanasy and Anikey, and a daughter named Maura. In 1517, elder brothers, Stefan, Joseph and Vladimir Stroganov, received

He was also a tenant of a royal estate near Solvychegorsk. Afanasy Vladimirovich was still accepted as a relative by Anika's family. But his son, Ivan, was the first of this branch in a continuous downhill trend, both financially and socially. The breach between

In the 17th century, the Stroganovs began to marry into high Russian nobility (princes, boyars and courtiers). For example, Pyotr Semyonovich Stroganov (1583–1639) married Matryona Ivanovna Borbischeva-Pushkina.

Russian and Chinese immigrants, as well as US servicemen stationed in pre-Communist China , brought several variants of

3780-578: The wealthy descendants of Anika Stroganov and the poor senior branch of the family had formed by the 1670s, when the wealthy part of the family denied their relationship with the poor one. This may have resulted in the myth of that Anika's elder brothers supposedly died childless. By the late 17th century the living conditions of the poor branch of the Stroganovs were scarcely distinguishable from those of common peasants. Being severely impoverished, this branch began to get involved in manual labour and even robbery. One of this branch, Andrey Vasilyev syn Stroganov,

3843-443: The wild. Sables can interbreed with pine martens . This has been observed in the wild, where the two species overlap in the Ural Mountains , and is sometimes deliberately encouraged on fur farms. The resulting hybrid, referred to as a kidus , is slightly smaller than a pure sable, with coarser fur, but otherwise similar markings, and a long bushy tail. Kiduses are typically sterile , although there has been one recorded instance of
