Instructions
To make the picadinho:
- Season the meat generously with sat and pepper.
- In a large pan, heat olive oil over high heat and add meat. Cook until browned on all sides. (Make sure you don’t overcook, or the meat will toughen).
- Add the onion and the garlic and sauté until translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, the paprika, the Worcestershire sauce, the parsley, salt and pepper to taste and the butter. Let everything cook together for a few minutes.
- Add the broth and, once it boils, lower the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the meat is tender.
- Once the meat is tender, turn the heat back up and cook until the liquid has reduced/thickened to 1 cup.
- Adjust seasoning and serve.
To make the farofa:
- In a large skillet, over high heat, heat olive oil and quickly sauté the bananas. (Don’t over do it, or the bananas will get too soft and fall apart). Reserve.
- In that same skillet, add the bacon and let it fry until golden.
- Add the onion and the garlic and sauté until it starts to caramelize.
- Add back the banana and the butter and let everything cook together for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in the flour, 1/2 a cup at a time, mixing delicately.
- Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
