Ingredients

🥩 800g Carne do Sol sun-dried beef [desalted]
🧅 2 onions [sliced into half-moons]
🧄 1 clove garlic [sliced]
🌶️ 1 pinch black pepper
🫒 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
🧈 200g butter

Instructions

1- Desalt and Prepare the Beef:

• Start by ensuring your Carne do Sol is properly desalted. If not, soak it in water for approximately five minutes for the quick desalting method or overnight for thorough desalting.
• Once ready, pat dry with a paper towel and cut into larger, uniform chunks to maintain juiciness.

2- Sear the Beef:

• Heat a large aluminum pot on medium-high heat until a few drops of water sizzle and evaporate upon contact.
• Arrange the beef chunks in the hot pot without overloading, allowing them to sear undisturbed and develop a nice crust on each side.
• Cook until they release their juices and are brown on the outside.

3- Prepare the Butter Mixture:

• Concurrently, place a non-stick saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter.
• Once melted, add the sliced onions and garlic to the pan.
• Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper and drizzle the olive oil to raise the butter's smoke point.
• Continue sautéing until onions are translucent and aromatic.

4- Combine and Finish:

• Once the beef is adequately seared, pour the bubbling butter-onion-garlic mixture over the beef in the large pot.
• Stir to coat the meat thoroughly with the flavorsome mix, letting them cook together briefly.
• Allow the juices to blend, and the meat to soak up the delicious buttery sauce, ensuring everything is heated through.

Cooking Tips

• Larger Meat Chunks: Keeping the beef pieces large prevents them from drying out and retains the flavor.
• No Oil Searing: Begin with a dry pan to let the beef cook in its own moisture, enhancing flavor.
• Non-burnt Butter: Incorporate olive oil to melt butter without burning as you cook aromatic ingredients.
• Rich Flavor Fusion: Add the onion mix post-searing for deeply imbued flavors.
