Bife à Regional
São Miguel beef steak with pickled pimenta da terra, garlic, white wine and butter sauce.
About Bife à Regional
This profile covers bife à Regional, also called bife à micaelense, from São Miguel in the Azores. It follows Cozinha Açoriana's complete version with dry white wine and the indispensable local pickled pimenta da terra.
Beef supplies the savoury centre, while garlic, bay leaf and black pepper deepen the aroma. Dry white wine brings acidity, pickled pepper adds a salty tang and butter rounds the pan sauce.
The steak is browned outside and juicy within, under a glossy butter sauce with visible strips of red pickled pepper. Fried potato rounds and a fried egg are serving options in the source, not ingredients in this profile.
