Brazilian Bife Acebolado with Farofa, Black Beans and Roasted Vegetables

Step 1: Prepare the beef

In a large bowl, toss the sliced beef sirloin with the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

• 2 pounds beef sirloin (thinly sliced)
• 3 garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Step 2: Sauté the onions

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized, about 15 minutes.

• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large onions (thinly sliced)

Step 3: Cook the beef

Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned beef to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

• Beef from Step 1

Step 4: Make the farofa

In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the cassava flour, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.

• 0.5 cup toasted cassava flour (farofa)

Step 5: Prepare the roasted vegetables

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Toss the green beans, carrots, and broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until vegetables are tender and lightly browned.

• 1 pound green beans (trimmed)
• 1 pound carrots (peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 1 large head of broccoli (cut into florets)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

Step 6: Warm the black beans

In a small saucepan, heat the canned black beans with a splash of water over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

• 1 (15 oz) can black beans (drained and rinsed)

Step 7: Finish the bife acebolado

Stir the fresh parsley and cilantro into the beef and onion mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

• 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Step 8: Serve

Serve the bife acebolado with the roasted vegetables, black beans, and farofa on the side. Enjoy!
