Instructions
Create a marinade by mixing the Worcestershire sauce, garlic, wine, salt, pepper, paprika, chilies, and bay leaf in a deep dish or tray
Add the beef, stir to coat the beef, and then cover with cling film and set aside in the fridge to marinate
Marinate for at least 2 hours but overnight is best, to keep the beef tender and let the flavours permeate right through the meat
Remove the steak cubes from the fridge, remove them from the marinade and dry them with paper towel - keep the marinade juice
In a pan on medium-high heat, add the oil and butter and fry the beef cubes until brown all over
Remove the steak and set aside in a bowl
Add the garlic and onions and fry until softened
Add the remaining marinade
Season with salt and pepper
Simmer for about 10 minutes
Add the beef cubes and simmer for a further 10 minutes
Add the cornflour mix to thicken the sauce and simmer for a further minute or two
Notes
This dish is spicy and delicious, best served with chips or fluffy Portuguese rolls, to mop up the sauce.
