1. Prep the Beef
Start by mixing 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise with the cubed beef. Ensure every piece is well-coated, then set aside.

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium-low heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until golden brown and fragrant.
3. Cook the Beef
- Add the mayonnaise-coated beef cubes to the skillet. Stir well and cook until the juices released by the meat have evaporated.
- Season the beef with sweet paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let the flavors meld.
4. Create the Sauce
Pour in 200 milliliters of water, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Then, add ketchup and mustard, stirring until fully incorporated.
5. Finish with Cream Cheese
Finally, add the Brazilian cream cheese and stir until the sauce becomes creamy and coats the beef evenly.
Tips for Success
- Use Fresh Beef: Opt for tender cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for best results.
