History
The dish is named for the diplomat Oswaldo Aranha, who in the 1930s and 1940s lunched at the Restaurante Cosmopolita in Lapa, a politicians' haunt nicknamed Senadinho, and ate the plate that came to carry his name. He also ordered it at Café Lamas, founded on 4 April 1874, which added it to its menu. Nova Capela, a Lapa bar-restaurant, lists a chorizo version today.

Make it at home
Ingredients
- 2 thick beef steaks (filet mignon or sirloin), 200g each
- 6 garlic cloves, sliced very thin
- Oil and butter
- 500g small potatoes
- 1 cup of white rice, cooked
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup manioc flour
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Boil the potatoes until just tender, drain and sauté them in butter with parsley until golden at the edges.
- Make the farofa by melting the butter, scrambling the eggs in it, then stirring in the manioc flour until toasted; season.
- Fry the sliced garlic in hot oil until pale golden and crisp, and lift it out onto paper.
- Season the steaks and sear them in a very hot pan for 3 to 4 minutes a side, then rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the steaks topped with the fried garlic, with the rice, potatoes and farofa alongside.
Tip from the editors. Watch the garlic closely; it goes from golden to bitter in seconds, so lift it out as soon as it is pale and crisp.
