Meat stuffed with farofa

Directions

1. Begin with the farofa. Melt the butter in a pan, add the onion and fry for about 6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Scatter over the cassava flour and stir to combine, then season with salt.

2. Stir in the parsley and finely-chopped egg. Take off the heat and set aside.

3. Season the beef steaks with the salt, black pepper, garlic, oregano and vinegar. Set aside in a shallow dish to marinate for 2 hours.

4. After this time, take each steak in turn and spread with a little of the farofa stuffing. Roll the steak up to securely hold the stuffing in the centre then secure with a toothpick.

5. For the sauce, combine half the oil with half the butter in a pan. Heat until the butter melts, then add the beef roll sand fry until golden brown and cooked through.

6. If it looks like the beef may be drying to quickly, add a little water to the pan. Take off the heat as soon as they are cooked and set aside.

7. In a separate pan, add the remaining oil and butter. Heat until the butter has melted then add the onions and fry for 4 minutes, or until soft then stir in the tomatoes and garlic.

8. Cook for about 6 minutes, or until the tomatoes have broken down to a sauce.

9. Finally stir the parsley into the sauce. Arrange the meat on a serving dish and spoon over the sauce.
