Recipe Introduction
This dish is considered an extravagance and is usually served
only on special occasions. I hope you have a special occasion
coming up soon so you'll try this classic Portuguese version of
the ubiquitous steak and eggs.
Portuguese - Steak w/Eggs (Bifes com Ovos)
2 boneless thinly cut beef steaks, about 4 oz (100 g) each
1 Tbs (15 ml) lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
3 Tbs (45 ml) butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 Tbs (15 ml) chopped chives or parsley
Sprinkle the steaks with the lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper
and let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Heat the butter
in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat and fry the steaks
until desired degree of doneness. Transfer the steaks to warm
dishes. Mix the eggs with the chopped chives and cook in the
same skillet, stirring constantly, until set but still soft. Spoon the
scrambled eggs over the steaks and serve immediately. Serves 2.
