Filé Oswaldo Aranha

Filé Oswaldo Aranha is a traditional dish consisting of a beefsteak that's topped with large amounts of fried garlic and served with white rice, crunchy potato chips, and farofa on the side. The dish was named after Oswaldo Aranha, a Brazilian politician and diplomat who often asked for his steak to be accompanied by fried garlic and those three side dishes in a Rio De Janeiro restaurant called Cosmopolita. Shortly after that, the waiters started to refer to the plate by Aranha's name, and the dish became so popular that it was added to the menu in his honor. And although Aranha preferred to combine all the side dishes together, nowadays the side dishes are served unmixed in most restaurants.
