Hello lovely people! Today I want to share with you one of my favourite dishes from Portugal: Bitoque à Portuguesa. This is a classic and simple dish that consists of a steak topped with a fried egg and served with fries, rice and salad. It’s hearty, satisfying and full of flavour.
Bitoque à Portuguesa is one of those dishes that you can find in almost any restaurant or café in Portugal. It’s a staple of Portuguese cuisine and a great example of how they make the most of simple ingredients. The steak is usually thin and tender, seasoned with garlic, salt and pepper and cooked in a hot pan until juicy.
The egg is fried in the same pan until crispy on the edges and runny in the middle. The fries are golden and crunchy, the rice is fluffy and fragrant, and the salad adds some freshness and crunch.
This dish is perfect for any occasion: lunch, dinner, or even breakfast if you’re feeling adventurous. It’s easy to make at home with minimal fuss and maximum flavour. You can use any cut of beef you like, as long as it’s not too thick or tough.
You can also swap the fries for roasted potatoes or mashed potatoes if you prefer. And you can add some extra toppings to your steak if you fancy, like cheese, ham or bacon.
I love this dish because it reminds me of my travels to Portugal and the amazing people I met there. It’s a dish that brings people together around the table and makes them happy. It’s comfort food at its best.
