Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets and grocery shops in Monrovia. Coxão duro (a lean, firm cut of beef) is typically available at local butcher counters. If unavailable, use a similar lean, slow-cooking cut like eye of round as a substitute.

- Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion for about 3 minutes until golden brown.
- Add the beef steaks and sear for 10 minutes until they change color.
- Stir in the salt, monosodium glutamate, tomato, bell pepper, tomato paste, and hot water.
- Lock the lid and cook for 30 minutes once the pressure reaches a steady hiss.
- Remove from heat and allow the pressure to release naturally before opening.
- Stir in the fresh parsley and serve immediately.
