Cooking Tips

• For a more tender steak, let it marinate for a longer period of time, preferably overnight.
• Make sure to use a good quality red wine for the sauce, as it will greatly enhance the flavor of the dish.
• If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can add a tablespoon of flour to the skillet and cook it for a minute before adding the red wine.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover Portuguese steak can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, gently warm the steak in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or beef broth to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the Portuguese steak hot, accompanied by fried potatoes and a side of vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
