Beef Stroganoff arrived in American home kitchens in the 1950s as one of the first 'continental' dishes to achieve widespread popularity — sophisticated enough to feel special, simple enough to make on a weeknight. The slow cooker adaptation, which allows the tough round steak to become fork-tender over hours, is a distinctly Midwestern improvement on the original.
