Prego no Pão

If you like beef sirloin, you’ll love this Portuguese lunch — 25 minutes from craving to table. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 46 grams of protein per serving. It scales cleanly if you are cooking for more than one.

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb Beef sirloin
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 1/4 cup White wine
• 2 Crusty rolls
• 1 tbsp Mustard
• 2 tbsp Parsley

Steps

1. Pound the sirloin thin — a prego should be eaten in four bites, not wrestled.
2. Sear in a screaming-hot pan 90 seconds per side; rest while you build the sauce.
3. Melt the butter with crushed garlic in the same pan, deglaze with wine, and reduce to a glossy sauce.
4. Split and toast the rolls; spread with mustard.
5. Layer the beef and spoon over every drop of the garlic-butter sauce.
6. Eat immediately, preferably with a cold beer; the prego is Lisbon fast food perfected.
