About Bife Koygua

Camila Benitez’s bifé koygua is a Paraguayan stew of thin beef steaks, onion and tomatoes. Her classic salt-seasoned option accompanies white rice and cooked yuca, with potatoes and peppers offered as additions.

Garlic and the vegetables flavour the saucy beef mixture, while olive oil enriches the base. Green onions and cilantro can provide a fresh finish.

The beef and sliced vegetables remain in a generous broth. Optional eggs sit over the stew, giving the serving a distinct topping, while the potatoes add substantial pieces when included.
