Beef Portuguese Style

Last summer, in a village just outside Lisbon, I had unforgettable garlicky Portuguese style beef. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have dreamt about that beef dish since! I don’t know about you, but something about travelling to other countries really inspires me when it comes to trying new dishes. When I travel, I always bring a notebook so I can jot down recipes and memories of delicious meals.

This is one of the recipes I brought back from my adventures in Portugal. It’s quick and easy and full of flavour thanks to a red wine and garlic marinade which becomes the sauce. You simply coat the beef in a marinade made from red wine, water, garlic, chili paste, salt and pepper and then fry the steaks in oil. It really is special!

To make my version of Portuguese style beef, you will need the following ingredients:

So, how do you make Portuguese style beef?

Steps to make Beef Portuguese Style

1	Make the marinade	1
Combine the red wine, water, garlic, chili paste, white pepper and salt in a bowl.
2	Coat the beef	5
Place the beef steaks in the marinade and turn to ensure they are evenly coated.
3	Fry the steaks	12
In a large heavy pan fry the steaks for 2 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches.
4	Add cooking juices to the marinade	2
Remove the steaks and set aside. Drain the cooking juices back into the red wine marinade.
5	Heat the oil	1
In the same large pan, heat the oil over a medium-low heat.
6	Fry the steaks again	4
Fry steaks again for 2 minutes on each side.
7	Drain the oil	1
Remove the steaks from the pan and drain the oil.
8	Finish cooking the beef with the marinade	2
Return the beef to the pan and add the marinade. Cook for a further two minutes.
9	Serve
Serve the Portuguese beef with a fresh green salad.

My Portuguese style beef instantly transports me back to that little village outside Lisbon. And that sums up the magic of food and travel memories for me. Try it and let me know how you get on.
