Portuguese Steaks

We are infrequent beef eaters, but this exception is well worth it. To complete the ambience we put on Portuguese Fado music and drink Portuguese soda called Sumol. Portuguese steak night is a family favorite for sure. --Mark

Ingredients:

Steaks (cube steaks work best)
Vinha de Alhos (Portuguese Marinade)
Molho de Vilão (Portuguese Gravy for Steak or Chops)

Instructions:

Marinate the steaks in the vinha de alhos for several hours. Grill or pan fry. Make the molho de vilão to serve with the steaks.

Notes:

These are super tasty, so serve with bread for the delicious gravy it naturally makes. For a true Portuguese feast, lay the steak on a bed of rice boiled with chicken bouillon. Top the steak with a slice of red pepper and a fried egg. Serve with a simple salad of shredded lettuce and Kalamata olives, and steak fries.
