1/2 raw carrot, grated

Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at local supermarkets or butcher shops. If table cream is unavailable, a thick heavy cream or a blend of sour cream and milk can be used as a substitute, though the original Brazilian table cream provides the most authentic texture.
Preparation method
- Season the beef. If desired, brown the meat in a pan with a little oil to sear the exterior.
- Place the beef in the pressure cooker and cover with hot water.
- Add the beef bouillon cubes dissolved in a cup of hot water.
- Cook under pressure for approximately 30 minutes after reaching pressure.
- While the meat cooks, prepare the mashed potatoes: boil the potatoes until soft, then mash them thoroughly.
- Season the mashed potatoes with a pinch of black pepper and mix with mayonnaise to taste until smooth and creamy.
- After the 30 minutes, remove the beef from the pressure cooker and slice into rounds.
- In the same pressure cooker, add the table cream (drained of whey) and the remaining broth from the meat.
- Heat the sauce over low heat and add the meat slices so they can absorb the flavor.
- Serve the beef with the warm sauce, accompanied by white rice.
- Garnish the dish with the raw grated carrot.
