Bife à café

Bife à café is a unique Portuguese meat dish. The dish is a twist on the classic veal steak called bife de vitela. It's prepared with veal steaks, butter, garlic, bay leaves, cream, and coffee. The meat is browned in butter with garlic, and it's then combined with the sauce consisting of cream, coffee, and pan juices. As soon as it begins to boil, the heat is turned off and the steak can be served, preferably garnished with coffee beans. It's recommended to serve bife à café with fries on the side.
