This was delicious! I have been trying to figure out how to make portuguese steak since I moved to MA seven years ago. My in laws are so vague about it like they don't want to share, so thank you for sharing. I did make one change and that was to reduce the oil to 1 T and I changed it to olive oil. There is no need to use that much oil in this recipe, which is why I gave it 4/5 stars. With the 1T oil it was still delicious. My Portuguese husband was very impressed! It is easy to overcook, however, so be careful.

An excellent tasting dish. Great flavors; I love cooking red meats in wine. I'm also a fan of garlic. Perhaps it was me, or the cuts of meat I used, but both times I've prepared this meal, the steaks have been a little tough. Other than that, I love it.

This was ok. The gravy is nice but the wine is a bit overpowering.

Decent, but I expected more garlic kick. I preferred the Filet with the Merlot reduction, also on this site.

Very tasty. Just made this for dinner tonight. I did have to make a couple of substitutions because I didn't have the exact ingredients (substituted red pepper flakes for the chile paste and used regular fresh ground black pepper instead of white pepper). It was very easy to make, also, which is always a big seller!

Easy and delicious. Make sure you use a good cut of steak though. We had it with couscous and salad.

This beef was very tasty. Goes great with mashed potatoes & fresh corn on the cob.

I made this for a small dinner party and the beef turned out absolutely fantastic that my guests are still talking about it 6 months after. I wouldn't change anything about it. Just perfect. Absolutely a perfect treat!
