⚠️ Our Portuguese Recipes group on Facebook, was hacked on Wednesday (July 12th) in the morning.

I’m Ed Costa, the original admin of the recipes group there, and I had been sharing recipes there daily since 2017. Unfortunately, I was removed and banned by the hacker, who is using a fake name — Mark Price — and is the one currently posting in the group.

If you're still a member of that group, please take a moment to notice that I'm no longer there and that all the recipes I had shared are now gone.

Please leave the group immediately, staying there puts you at risk of being scammed or worse.

I’ve reported this issue to Facebook several times, but so far, they haven’t responded or taken any action.

To keep our community going, I’ve created a brand-new Portuguese Recipes page on Facebook. If you'd like to keep receiving daily recipes and support what we’ve built over the years, please “Like” or “Follow” our new Facebook Recipes Page by clicking here.

Thank you to everyone who has supported and followed our recipes on Facebook since 2015. I truly appreciate you and hope you’ll continue with us on this new page.

God bless,
Ed

Preparation

  1. Put olive oil, rolled garlic cloves, paprika and bay leaf in a pan and mix.
  2. Turn on the heat and let the garlic saute a little to release flavor but don't let it burn.
  3. Add the wine, beer, whiskey, port wine and a pinch of salt.
  4. When it boils, add the meat and mix it well in the sauce.
  5. Drizzle with half of the lemon juice,  add the piri piri sauce and the remaiding lemon juice to the pan.
  6. Let it simmer for about 45 minutes, so that the meat is tender, if you see that you need more sauce, add some more beer or white wine (do not add water).
  7. Before removing from the heat, check the seasoning.

No Onion in this recipe? I love fried onions with my bifana.

Sorry Gerry, this is a traditional bifana and it does not contain onions, try this one: bifana with onions.

I'm having family over tomorrow, but I wanted to make the febras today. Would it be ok to make a day ahead and refrigerate in the pan with the marinade. Then reheat tomorrow. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this?

You can if you want, but it will take away from the original taste, but of course you should always tweak a recipe to your taste. 🙂
