TRINCHADO

Hi,

This is my version of Trinchado, it is a hot traditional Portuguese dish that flames up the taste buds for more, you just have to have French fries and toast with this recipe, as you wouldn't want to waste a drop of the sauce.

Enjoy and happy cooking.

What you will need:

MEDIUM SIZED PAN (PREFERABLY NON STICK)

MARGARINE FOR SPREAD OF THE TOAST

BREAD FOR TOAST, OR PREGO ROLLS

FRENCH FRIES

Ingredients:

500 GRAM, RUMP STEAK

500 (MILLILITERS), FULL CREAM (NOT WHIPPED)

1 TEASPOON (5 MILLILITERS), DRIED CHILI FLAKES

2 TABLESPOONS (30 MILLILITERS), TOMATO SAUCE

2 TABLESPOONS (30 MILLILITERS), SWEET CHILI SAUCE

ABOUT 3 GOOD SHAKES, WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE

1 TABLE SPOON (15 MILLILITERS), REAL BUTTER

JUST TO COVER THE PAN NICE, OLIVE OIL

1 TEASPOON (5 MILLILITERS), DRIED OREGANO

1 TEASPOON (5 MILLILITERS), DRIED PARSLEY

1 TEASPOON (5 MILLILITERS), CHILI BEEF AROMAT (OR A GOOD CHILI SALT)

A FEW TURNS OF GROUND BLACK PEPPER

Method:

Heat your pan up on medium heat, with the oil and butter.

Cut your steak into small cubes, basically 1.5 X 1.5 cm cubes.

Add your steak cubes to the pan when the butter is melted and your pan is nice and hot (the steak should be sizzling when you put it into the pan)

You can add the oregano, parsley, ground black pepper and dried chilli flakes immediately.

Stir frequently.

When the steak starts to get some colour you can add the Worcestershire sauce.

The steak should still have some pink bits when you can add the tomato sauce, sweet chilli sauce and cream, stir well after adding these components.

When the sauce gets a nice brown texture you can add the chilli salt, stir well and you may dish and enjoy.
