Prepare the beef: Ensure the beef is cut into uniform, bite-sized cubes (about 1.5-2 cm). Pat the beef cubes thoroughly dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. This is crucial for achieving a good sear.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 2
Sear the beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef cubes in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Sear for about 2-3 minutes per side, until nicely browned and a crust forms, but the inside remains slightly pink. Remove the seared beef from the pan and set aside.
โฑ๏ธ 8 minutes - 3
Sautรฉ aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and chopped piri-piri chili (and bay leaf, if using) to the same pan. Sautรฉ for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
โฑ๏ธ 2 minutes - 4
Deglaze the pan: Pour the beer into the hot pan. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any browned bits (fond) โ this adds immense flavor. Let the beer simmer and reduce slightly for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
โฑ๏ธ 3 minutes - 5
Combine and finish: Return the seared beef to the pan. Toss everything together to coat the beef in the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, just until the beef is heated through and coated in the glossy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
โฑ๏ธ 2 minutes - 6
Serve: Remove the bay leaf. Transfer the Pica-Pau to a serving dish. Arrange the sliced pickles around the dish or on the side. Serve immediately with toothpicks for easy enjoyment.
