Instructions

1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 500 g thinly sliced beef sirloin strips and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and crisped on edges, then remove beef and set aside.
2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 tbsp butter, 1 medium finely chopped yellow onion, and 4 minced garlic cloves; sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant.
3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1 finely chopped malagueta pepper; cook for 1 minute to toast spices.
4. Step 4: Gradually whisk in 1 cup beef broth, scraping up any browned bits, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Step 5: Reduce heat to low and stir in 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth and creamy.
6. Step 6: Return the seared beef to the skillet and simmer gently for 2 minutes to heat through.
7. Step 7: Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
