Recipe: Pregos (Portuguese Sandwiches)

1 Peel and cut the onions in half, then slice them thinly.

2 Heat a little oil and butter in a pan, then add the onions. They should turn a nice golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.

3 Peel, remove the germ from, and press the garlic.

4 Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thin 5 mm slices.

5 Heat a little butter in a pan, then quickly sear the beef, 1 minute on each side. Season with salt on one side only.

6 Remove the meat from the pan and deglaze with the lime juice, water, Oxo, and pressed garlic. Let it cook for a few moments then turn off the heat.

7 Cut the rolls in half or cut the baguette into 5 cm portions and split them.

8 Lightly brush the bottom of the sandwich with the Oxo and garlic mixture (be careful not to oversoak).

9 Layer 2 pieces of beef, some caramelized onions, and 2 tomato slices on top.

10 Spread mayonnaise or your sauce of choice on the top of the sandwich.

11 Close the sandwich and enjoy.
