You can also tenderise it by putting some garlic in the bag and bay leaf to infuse into the meat and before cooking just remove the bay leaf.

I just came back from a trip to Lisbon/Porto. Tried a bifana and I really liked it. Simple with just the meat, sauce, and bread with some sauce on it. The one I had was with the meat simmering in a wok-like pan with that wonderful sauce. They put the meat, dripping with sauce, on the bread. Then quickly dipped the sandwich in the sauce. Very delicious. Yours seems similar so I'll try it.
@watchitcookit40173 ай бұрын
It's really a challenge to replicate the authentic bifana taste and aroma in a home kitchen, but this one has that same signature flavor. I hope you enjoyed Portugal, I certainly did! Thanks for watching!
@margaretdossantos75632 ай бұрын
To have the actual authentic Bifana Portuguese taste you need to have access to a Portuguese shop or Bakery to purchase Sweet Pimento Paste & Spiced Pimento Paste. I don't like mine too spicy so I mix 1/4 Spicey to 1/2 or 3/4 Sweet Paste. Plus all the other ingredients that go into making the marinade.

Medium is fine, well done for this cut would be more tender than rare, if it’s brought up to temp by slow cooking method. Rare isn’t a great idea with cheap cuts in general. Too many connective tissues and tougher fats.

@richardfallon55076 ай бұрын
good to see you are using lamb. Many presenters claim to make "Irish Stew " , and use beef , In Ireland, when you use the term "Irish Stew " , you either use Lamb , or be able to run for the hills very rapidly. Stew made with any other meat is Beef stew, or chicken casserole , but using LAMB , now you can safely call it Irish Stew, Your dish looks and sounds yummy,
