Brazilian Served Hot Recipes

"I have served this recipe as soon as its cooked, as leftovers the next day, and even out of the freezer.

"A wonderful steak recipe with pizzazz! Diana Henry, one of my favourite British chefs, jazzes up this steak recipe with the sensational South American flavours of peppery flat leaf parsley, garlic, lime and hot chillies!

"This is a brazilian favorite and one of our family's too! Beef strogonoff comes in a flavor-rich heavy cream sauce, with a touch of ketchup, mustard and soy sauce, along with chopped mushrooms.
