Where to find ingredients
Find the beef cuts at your local butcher; if specific Brazilian cuts like coxão mole are unavailable, use thin-cut top round or silverside. Look for calabresa sausage and muçarela in the international section of your supermarket or specialty meat markets.
Preparation method
- Season the beef slices with salt and black pepper.
- Allow the beef to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Place a strip of calabresa sausage on each beef slice.
- Add a carrot strip on top of the sausage.
- Add a red bell pepper strip alongside the carrot.
- Place two slices of muçarela cheese on each roll.
- Carefully roll up the beef slices tightly.
- Secure each roulade with a toothpick to hold the shape.
- Heat the butter in a pressure cooker over high heat.
- Brown the beef rolls in the hot pan, turning to sear all sides evenly.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced onions to the pot.
- Sauté the mixture for one minute.
- Stir in the water and the onion cream soup mix.
- Mix well to ensure the sauce base is fully dissolved.
- Seal the pressure cooker lid securely.
- Cook over low heat for 30 minutes once the pressure begins to build.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.
- Open the lid carefully once all pressure has dissipated.
