Quick Brazilian Stroganoff
This is stroganoff the Brazilian way: tender golden meat simmered in a glossy tomato and cream sauce. It's pure weeknight comfort, on the table in 30 minutes, and it always disappears fast at family dinners.

💡 Chef's Tip
Shoestring potato sticks (batata palha) are the classic Brazilian side for this dish — their crunch is the perfect contrast to the creamy sauce. Adjust the ketchup for the colour and tang you like, and feel free to swap beef for chicken.
