Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tbsp olive oil
4 braising steaks , about 200g/8oz each

Portuguese Beef and Onions (Bifes De Cebolada) image

A recipe that I found at recipes4us.co.uk and am posting this for ZWT Spain/Portugal region. I think this would be nice served over pasta, rice or with mashed potatoes. This isn't a spicy dish, so if you are wanting a little zip to the beef/veggie mix, feel free to add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use good quality beef. Look for meat that is well-marbled and has a deep red color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent the meat from browning evenly.
  • Cook the beef over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the flavor.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the beef until it is tender. This will take about 1-2 hours.
  • Add the onions to the pan and cook them until they are softened. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Add the wine and stock to the pan and bring it to a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 30 minutes.
  • Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the Portuguese beef and onions over rice or mashed potatoes.
