Brazilian-Style Beef Stroganoff
This Brazilian-style beef stroganoff is a weeknight hero in our home. The beef turns meltingly tender in a creamy, lightly spiced tomato sauce, and it all comes together in under an hour. Serve it over white rice with shoestring potatoes for the full experience.

Sear the beef in small batches so it browns instead of steaming, and stir the cream in off the heat to keep the sauce silky.
