Description

This traditional Portuguese dish is delicious and unique. Beef pieces are marinated in beer, wine, and tomato sauce, then simmered in the same marinade with onions and garlic, and finally cooked together with potatoes at the end. The meat turns out incredibly tender, melting in your mouth! This interesting dish is perfect for a festive table! Since this is a traditional recipe, I recommend following the instructions precisely.
