Treat your ingredients with care...

• Steak — For the best results, choose tenderloin or sirloin steak, as they are more tender and flavorful. Make sure to slice the steak thinly against the grain for a more tender bite.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
• If you prefer a milder garlic flavor, reduce the amount of minced garlic in the zesty garlic sauce.
• Customize your sandwich by adding your favorite toppings such as caramelized onions or pickles.
• If you don't have a grill or skillet, you can also cook the steak in a hot pan or broil it in the oven.
• To make it a complete meal, serve the Portuguese-style Beef Prego Sandwich with a side of crispy fries.
