Ingredients
- 500 g beef tenderloin cut into strips or cubes, approx. 1 lb
- 150 g button mushrooms optional, approx. 5.3 oz
- 1/2 onion finely chopped or grated
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 cup whipping cream approximately 250 ml
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon cognac optional, or brandy
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt freshly ground, to taste
- black pepper freshly ground, to taste
Instructions
- Cut the steaks into strips (5 cm x 2 cm) and transfer to a bowl. Keep them at room temperature — the meat should not be cold when you start browning it. Meanwhile, prepare the other ingredients.
- Slice the mushrooms into 3 pieces and set aside. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
- Heat a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil and brown the strips of beef in batches. If you add all the meat at once, it will release its juices and steam instead of browning. Use tongs to turn them and brown evenly. These cook really fast so pay attention.
- Transfer the browned beef strips to a bowl. Continue browning the remaining beef, adding a bit more olive oil to the pan before each batch.
- Lower the heat and add another teaspoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until they soften, scraping the bottom of the pan well. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute to release its fragrance.
- Stir in the tomato paste, ketchup and mustard, mixing well. Return the browned beef to the pan, then add the Worcestershire sauce and brandy. Add the mushrooms and mix gently.
- Pour in the cream and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well and let it cook on medium heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat and cook for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the heat and serve immediately.
Notes
- Tips for Success
- Use the Right Cut of Beef – Tender cuts like beef tenderloin, ribeye, or sirloin work best for this recipe. Avoid tough cuts like stew beef, which require long cooking times.
- Sear the Beef Properly – For the best flavor, sear the beef in a hot pan without overcrowding it. This locks in juices and adds depth to the dish.
- Be Patient with the Sauce – If your sauce looks too watery, don’t panic! Just let it simmer a little longer, and it will naturally thicken into a rich, creamy consistency.
- Don’t Skip the Worcestershire Sauce – This ingredient adds a deep umami flavor that makes the dish extra delicious.
- Adjust to Taste – Brazilian Stroganoff is all about balance. If you like a touch more sweetness, add a bit more ketchup. If you want a deeper flavor, a splash of cognac or white wine can enhance the richness.
- Serve It Right – White rice and batata palha (crispy potato sticks) are essential for the full Brazilian experience. Don’t skip them!
