5. The well-marinated meat is ready for further preparation. Place a frying pan on the stove and heat it well. Sear the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side. It's better to cook them one or two at a time to ensure even cooking.

6. Place the seared meat pieces back into the skillet. You can add a little vegetable oil. Pour in the marinade and cook until done. The classic Portuguese-style meat recipe suggests that steaks will be ready in just 4-5 minutes, but you can cook them longer to achieve the desired level of doneness.
