MADEIRA BEEF AND BAY LEAF KEBABS (ESPETADA)



Madeira Beef and Bay Leaf Kebabs (Espetada) image

The classic preparation of this dish-the beef is grilled on special metal skewers with eyelets at the end, then brought to the table and hung with great ceremony from an L-shaped pole, over a bowl piled with Portuguese bread. The meat juices from the kebabs drip onto the bread, which is thought of as much a delicacy as the meat. Unless you are a skilled welder, you will not be able to duplicate this arrangement at home. Solution-serve the kebabs on a platter lined with sliced Portuguese bread. Steven Raichlen.
