Portuguese steaks in the sauce
Ah, Portuguese cuisine, is a perfect marriage of rich flavors and intense tastes. Steaks in Portuguese sauce are an excellent example - a delicious combination of tender meat, aromatic sauce, and subtle notes of port wine.
The recipe begins by pounding the steaks, then letting the meat is seared quickly in a hot pan, before being removed and set aside to rest with salt.
The sauce is then prepared by adding garlic, bay leaves, paprika, and pepper to the same pan. Once the garlic is golden brown, the spirits are added to deglaze, then the sauce is reduced until it is thick and flavorful.
Finally, the steaks are returned to the pan with the sauce and reheated together to soak up the sauce's flavor. Served with a slice of dry-cured ham, this dish can be accompanied by rice, french fries, or even homemade chips for a tasty and satisfying meal.
So if you're looking for a recipe that combines tender meat, rich flavors, and subtle notes of port wine, Portuguese steaks in the sauce are for you. Follow the steps below for a delicious and easy-to-prepare meal.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Beat the steaks. This will tenderize them and get more juice out of them.
- 2
In a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and butter. Sear the steaks in twos at a time, cooking them slightly under to your liking. About 1 minute per side. Remove the steaks from the pan and place them on a plate, making sure to drain the meat in the pan before removing.
- 3
In the same pan, over medium heat, add the garlic, bay leaves, and paprika. Fry the garlic (with the skin on to avoid burning them) until golden, about 2 minutes.
- 4
Deglaze with the port wine in the pan, followed by the brandy and pepper. Let the sauce reduce over low heat until the fumes no longer smell alcohol and the sauce thickens. This will take about 3 minutes. Transfer the rendered juices from the steaks in the dish to the pan with the sauce. Mix well.
- 5
Rectify the acidity of the sauce with a few drops of lemon juice. Add them a little at a time, tasting between each addition and adjusting the acidity to your taste. Don't add salt, the salt comes with the steaks.
- 6
Add the steaks to the skillet and reheat, coating them with the sauce for about 2 minutes.
- 7
Place a steak on each plate and place a slice of cured ham on top. Top with the sauce.
- 8
If you wish, you can add a fried egg on top of the ham. The yolk will add a touch of creaminess to the sauce.
Serve hot with white rice, fries, or homemade chips.
