Beef Stroganoff
The Brazilian estrogonofe, not the Russian one: strips of fillet and mushrooms in a creamy tomato-and-mustard sauce, spooned over white rice and finished with batata palha — the fine shoestring potato straws that make it what it is.

Cook's noteScatter the batata palha over each plate at the table, not through the pan — in the sauce it goes soft within a minute, and the crunch is half the dish. No shoestring potatoes in the shop? Crush a handful of plain salted crisps and use those. Don't let the sauce boil once the cream is in or it can split; for a macro-tracking plate, load up more beef and mushrooms and go lighter on the rice and potato straws.
