HOW TO MAKE PORTUGUESE STEAK

Step 1: Season the beef steaks with salt and pepper. Cut the ham slices into thin strips.

Step 2: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet. Fry the ham strips on both sides over medium-low heat for about 3 to 4 minutes or until slightly golden.

Step 3: Transfer the ham strips to a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil. Set aside.

Step 4: Add the steaks to the skillet and fry them on both sides over medium-low heat for about 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 5: Add the white wine, bay leaf, the unpeeled crushed garlic and the mustard to the skillet and cook over medium-low heat about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6: Turn off the heat, place the ham strips over the steaks and drizzle with the sauce.

HOW TO STORE

If you have any leftovers, store the Portuguese steak in the refrigerator in an airtight container (to prevent the growth of microorganisms). Properly stored, it will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
