Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local grocery stores. Look for the 'linguiça calabresa' in the specialty meats or imported section of large supermarkets. For the beef, ask the butcher for thin, even slices of top round (coxão mole) or eye of round (patinho). The onion cream soup mix is typically found in the dry soup or spice aisle. If unavailable, a blend of onion powder, garlic powder, and beef bouillon can serve as a substitute.
