Portuguese Pork Sandwich / Befana Recipe | Porto vs Lisbon version
Servings: 4
Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Special equipment: None
THE FRIED EDITION:
400g pork cutlets
2 cups white wine
4 bay leaves
Whole garlic
Sweet paprika
White pepper
1 tbsp salt.
50 ml olive oil
Two tbsp salted butter
Two tbsp ghee or lard
4 tbsp sweet mustard
4 bread roll, preferably Papo Seco (Portuguese bread roll)
HOW IT IS COOKING:
1) Cut off the fat from your pork cutlet if it has a thick layer of fat.
2) Then cut the cutlets into thin slices of ½ a centimeter / ⅓ of an inch.
3) In a large bowl ad white wine paprika and sea salt.
4) Take a whole garlic and divide it into two. Cut it so the gloves are divided in the middle.
5) Add the pork cutlets and massage the marinade into the meat for a couple of minutes.
6) Let the meat sit in the marinade for 1 hour. If you have the time you can even marinade the pork in the morning and let it sit all day in the fridge as that makes the meat even more tender.
7) Now to the frying. Make sure to save the marinade from the pork as we need it for the sauce.
8) Bring a pan up to medium heat. Add in the butter, ghee and olive oil. Now fry the cutlets in the pan. It has to appear as if you are actually steaming or boiling the pork in the fat.
When the pork is almost done add half of the mustard (2 tbsp) and a bit of the marinade to the pan.
9) Divide the bread roll and add some of the sauce from the pan on both sides before adding the cutlets.
10) Now eat this delicious Bifana with some additional mustard to your own taste and a cold beer.
THE BOILED EDITION:
400g pork cutlets
50 ml olive oil
1 tbsp ghee or lard
1 tbsp butter
1 large onion
4 bay leaves
4 cloves garlic
1l beer (Pilsner)
250 ml tomato sauce
50 ml water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tbsp sweet paprika
1 tbsp white pepper
1 tbsp salt.
Piri piri
4 bread roll, preferably Papo Seco (Portuguese bread roll)
1) Start with making sure that your pork cutlets are very thinly sliced. The best way is to use a super sharp knife and cut the meat horizontally on a cutting board.
2) Peel onion and cut it into thin slices.
3) Peel garlic cloves and smash them.
4) In a large pot with olive oil, ghee and butter, once it's melted together add onion and fry until the onion is soft.
5) Then add garlic and tomato sauce and stir until it starts boiling up a bit and then add the beer.
6) Stir in the spices and bay leaves and bring it up to a simmer.
7) Now put the pork in the pot one slice after another and stir it around.
8) Let it simmer for 30 minutes under a lid that only covers half of the pot.
9) Taste the dish and make sure that it has the salt and peber balance.
10) Open the bread rolls and add the pork. Remember to add extra sauce and if you wish, also some spicy piri piri.
11) Enjoy with a cold beer!
Which bifana do you prefer? And do you ever make it yourself? Let me know! See you soon in my next food video! Don't forget to leave a like if you got hungry and subscribe if you were drooling a little bit! :-)
Hey Amelia and Joen, a quick tip from one of your viewers. I think you should rethink the titles a bit, the main subject of this video comes at the end ("Bifana"). Maybe be more clear what the theme of the video his, and then what you will do in it. For example: "Bifana Cooking Showdown: Porto vs Lisbon". I was reading the title and only the last word made me really know what it was about, and it should be the main keyword for people looking for it :)
@@ivosilva2796 Thanks for the feedback ❤️
I've only had the Porto version and it's delicious.I will have to try the Lisbon way
Thanks ❤️ It’s totally worth trying. I love both.
Yes it’s just as delicious 🤤
Even though I'm on keto (Joen), I can attest to the fact that it was absolutely amazing although I only had one bite of each. My favorite was the Lisbon bifana! The sauce was unbelievable!
I admire your will power Joen. If I had a girlfriend who can make food like Amelie can…a diet would be torture. 😁
When you mention Keto diet I always remember Bruce Lee...in early years of his career he was Kato in Green Hornet show...so to lose weight it’s an inspiration to remember Bruce Lee...the guy was amazing he worked his body like a machine...it’s like 70% power of will and 30% hard exercise...nutrition is also very important but only to fuel the body for exercise, without that you don’t see results, it’s a waste of time!
Congratulations Amalie a great idea to show to the world how good and diverse portuguese food is! 🎉🎈🍾🎊
Hi! We just came back from Portugal visiting Lisbon, Fatima, Cascais and Porto. We brought Portugal to Manila by preparing a Portuguese feast on Mother’s Day last Sunday. I followed your Bifanhas Porto recipe and my bifanhas were a huge hit. I also bought an assado de chourico pot and served 3 kinds of chouricos I bought them from Aperola do Bolhao.
Obrigada!!!
So nice seeing a Danish person cooking Portuguese food 😋 😍 👌 🤗
And I love cooking it. 🤤
Badly tho 😂

Followed you before travelling to Portugal and drove my kids crazy saying “what’s up my boyzzzzz!”🤣….now enjoying your cooking videos and will definitely try these two recipes!!
They both look so good, I'm going to have to make both of them.
Haha. I felt the same. I couldn’t even decide which one was best. They are so different 🤤 so when you cook them let me know ❤️
I always had the feeling that you could cook..and well! Oh boy was I right! You also capture the essence of Portuguese cuisine: it’s simplicity! Thank you for another amazing video and give a hug to your lovely Lara.

Yum!!! We will try both when we go to Lisbon and Porto next month!!
Hey Amelie. Loved the video. I am hungry now!!!!
Haha 😂 you are welcome 🥰
Good video. Never seen a Danish cook doing and enjoy portuguese "street food". In Portugal there are many ways of doing bifanas and other food. Porto bifanas comes also in small and tiny slices of pork like kebab and very spice ..for drinking many beer´s. Like your new channel. Keep on
❤❤❤❤ thanks very good ❤❤❤good job
It looks delicious.❤
Ok made fried version last night. I used pork tenderloin cut thin then pounded with a meat tenderizer and let marinade for 5-6 hrs. I fried up an onion then removed from pan and fried the meat. Meat once done was removed from pan then added the excess marinade to the pan and also added a small can of diced tomatoes w/green chiles and some hot sauce. Put all ingredients in the pan then made sandwiches using bulkie rolls with a dab of yellow mustard and dijon. IT WAS AWESOME!!! When I make again I will leave out the can of diced tomatoes didnt really add anything but terrific flavor with your marinade!!!
Looks so delicious 😋 I need one now. When the restaurant opening 🙏xx
Thanks 🙏 now you know how to cook them ❤️
Love your videos 💚
Thank you so much!
Amazing video once again. Can you make some portuguese sweets/desserts, too?
I will at some point. But joen is on a diet and think he can’t resist those delicious Portuguese desserts 😅
You're looking gorgeous! This is a classic recipe 😋😁
Thanks ❤️
As a 62 years old portuguese let me say that the best thing to serve with bifanas, Lisbon or Porto version, is a nice cold bear. The chip fries are a very recent adicion. They are not needed.
Love the way you do it. 😊
I'm 34 and I 100% agree. Also, Bifana belongs on a carcaça, it's not acceptable in any other type of bread.
Thank you! 🙏 They are not but they are nevertheless delicious and to me super Portuguese ❤️
That actually happened to me many years ago. I was in a bar when I heard a noise to my left. It was a bear sitting on a stool. The barmaid started screaming at some guy to get his pet out of the building. It's amazing how quick that sobered me up.
@@dfertefwergwergrfgwr lol
Amazing Portuguese food
Thanks ❤️
Get the content out gf! Loving all the videos!
Love all the way from Sydney Australia! Madeirence blood 😊
Hi there ❤️ thank you much 🙌
I’m sure people have told you already you have the Portuguese pronunciation on spot, Can’t wait to try them both tomorrow if making your recipe for francesinha …can’t wait , keep those great recipes coming 🥰🇨🇦🇵🇹
Omg Liz ❤️ thank you so much. Makes me very happy that you wanna try my recipes 🙌 Thanks
Please make more episodes!
I am getting hungry watching. Going to make one.
something u can use that is very cheap and widely used is pork lard... u should try it 😀 great video!
Hi Amalie, i would like to see the camara guy also tasting the meals afterwards ehehehe :D
Have a nice day !!
Haha.. yes 🙌 me too.. he actually tried this off cameras but at the moment he is on a diet so he can eat it. 😅
There's a different way we do it in Lisbon, which is also with thin slices and boiled in the marinara, for example if you ever went to Beira Gare next to Rossio you see what I mean. They always have a huge pan with a constantly simmering molho. To me that's the best way because then the bifanas get really really tender.
I always go to that place when I'm in Lisbon! Just to eat their bifanas.
Yes I have had that one too. That’s also delicious.
@@TheLexy131313 Hell yea brother!
They are really half fried half boiled that sauce has so much oil it counts as both, the trick is that sauce gets better the more bifanas go in there because it will get all the juices of the meat
Wow! Amelia has turned out to be a great Portuguese cook. Congrats.
thank you so much 🤗
Your Bifanas look amazing! You're so cute and your Portuguese accent is fogo! Viva Portugal!
I forgot to add the way I do it from sao miguel azores I marinate the meat night before olive oil piri piri paparika pepper pimenta ginger and garlic powder and just fry it the next day taste amazing in a papseco kaiser
I like that variety. Sound tasty 👅 I’ll make that one day. Thanks 🙏
I make my bifanas in a marinade of lots of white wine, lots of garlic, piripiri-chillies chilipowder and laurelleafs. Let it rest voor half a day or a night. Then I grill them for a minute in lots of butter or porc fat. I add the marinade and let it boil a few minutes in the frigideira. Put it in a carcaça with some musterdsauce and some extra piripirisauce. Yummie! Btw the pinacle of bifanamaking is in Vendas Novas.
That’s delicious 🤤 thanks for sharing ❤️
Bifana de Vendas Novas is indeed equally amazing. I wouldn't call it better, just different though.
It's more or less like this I think: You have frango assado and you have frango assado da Guia, you have pasteis de nata and you have pasteis de Belem. You have bifanas and you have bifanas de Vendas Novas. Not neceseraly better (oftenly it is, question of taste), but it's always the 'special version'.
@@TheLexy131313 I get what you're saying, but in the case of Bifanas, they're just totally different recipes. Pastel de Belém and Pastel de Nata is still pretty much the same. Same with Frango da Guia. But a Bifana de Vendas novas is completely unique compared to others.
@@motttta True. And here we are talking about a porc sandwich. How Portuguese can we be 😂 ..... and I'm getting hungry 😋 . I want a bifana now!
Hahahah @11:57 “don’t wear lipstick when you order something like this” amazing as always! Really liked how you mentioned you made a minor mistake and then you addressed it😎
❤️ yeah lipstick doesn’t not go well with a saucy dish 😅
Thanks… I was so mad at my self 😅 but luckily it was fixable 🥲 so typical me. But I feel like it would be better to be honest ❤️
@@howsitcooking2478 it’s awesome that you were being honest! Gives your food credibility if you look at it from a positive perspective!
Were do you buy Ghee, I have been asking around in almost every store in Lisbon without success. Can you please tip me were I can find it here?
Just made the Lisbon bifana. Delicious. Will add fresh tomatoe, onion and lettuce with dinner tomorrow. Will try the Porto version next time. Cheers
the really Biafana is the VENDAS NOVAS Style :), the original one
Goes great with a beer love that ur making portuguese food u should do baking as well like malasada or biscuits or even a Danish love ur work amalie keep on goin Boyz lol
Yes at some point I will. I am not great at baking. So I will have to practice a bit 😅 don’t wanna teach you guys wrong technics 😂
Thank you for sharing this is my favorite sandwich in lisbon greetings from mexico
Thanks Julio. And also.. I’ll try and make some Mexican food too soon.
@@howsitcooking2478 😵 excellent
I loved the Porto bifanas. If you happen to visit the area, try the bifanas at resturante conga casa das bifanas 😊
My favourits are the fried ones, Lisbon style as you call them, cutted very thin, with smashed garlic in the marinade to release more flavour and fried in lard/pork fat. But there are good bifanas all over the country. Congrats for the vídeo 👍❤🇵🇹🇩🇰
Hups.... my hips. That's so so good. Looks delicious
Thanks 💕
👌
Ahahhah I love u guys = 1:21 "just a little bit more.. This is wine!" 😆😅😉😘
Haha.. You know us 😅 always a bit more wine ❤️
I vote for the Porto ones. Both are a taste of home but the sauce and messiness of the Porto is better IMHO. Good video thanks for sharing .
Amalie the chef! I love prego with a lot's of yellow mustard.🍺🇵🇹
Mmmh… prego.. that’s one tho that I’ll also make soon❤️
Will the next video be about Pastel de Nata?
No 😅 but they might come one day.
In case of doubt eat both 🤷😁 there's not such thing as too much olive oil garlic and wine in Portuguese language 😋 suggestion... Madeira version of "prego especial no bolo do caco" 😉
Yes and I promise that the Madeira version will come too. I really love a good prego.
That’s a very interesting CZcams channel, may I suggest the delicious seafood rice? Best regards to all. David Quental
Yes please! Arroz de marisco next!!!
That will definitely happen. But I will do that episode on the mainland as I wanna go to the fishermen there in the morning to get the best seafood. Madeira has very good fish and seafood but on the mainland it’s even better ❤️
U have an expresso machine ?
Yes :D
My favorite, so far. Goes well with super bock :D
Mmh yes 🙌 always good with a beer 🍻
You become one Luso-Dinamarquesa 😍😍😍
Hahah 😅 would be very cool 😎
❤❤❤
8:30 yep mine will always have a big squeeze of mostard on top of the pork (even if the sauce has it hahah😅) 🤤🤤🤤 already Amelia ❤️🙏🥂
Haha. Mustard is also so delicious 🤤 especially with pork meat 🍖
Vindalho!! Like:))
One day.. I am gonna do a lot of Indian food. I love Indian 🥰
You need. To boil the Marinade for a at least 1 minute to kill the bacteria from pork and I suggest reduce the wine marinade in half to cook out the alcohol it's called a reduction sauce all your left is with flavour of the marinade
Well, between the two of them: é diferente! 😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha 😂 yes exactly. My favorite Portuguese answer 🙏
Good job viking lady
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mas as do Porto (Oporto) são as melhores.
Meu dues,I was born in Madeira and have been in Australia for the last 52 years and yet I didn’t see a galo de barceillos in your kitchen, I have one in mine, and yes the food at the stadiums here is also bad.
Would you please show us how you are making healthy and tasty meals for yourself on your journey of releasing weight this fall?!
Yes! I have just begun with two keto friendly recipes. :) I will share more of my diet food
Those stick crisps are a serious addiction problem. Pingo Doce own brand ones... I must have eaten 1000 packets when I lived in Lisbon for a year.
Haha yes.. they are SOOOO good. We can’t have a bag sitting at home. We always finish it 😅
Never crossed my mind that this isn't a universal thing. They don't have these where you're from?
On the way yo Lisbon airport we always stop at Bigodes. Killer bifanas
Bifanas from Lisboa and AÇORES!🇵🇹
Porto!!!
Very danish accent, correct??
Next: Bolinhos de Bacalhau🙏
One day 🥰
PORTO (😋😋😋😋😋)
lisbon certainly....
I'll go with the Benfica.
Haha.. 😅 It is also super delicious 🤤
Only if you want to have an indigestion 😁
Porto, 100%!!!... And Super Bock.
Porto bifana with extra hot sauce 💪
Yum 🤤
Gordon Ramsay should have seen this before do his pork sandwich!
Lisboa bifana 😛😍 é a melhor 😝
Next "Carne de porco á alentejana"
Uh another delicious dish 🙏
@@howsitcooking2478 i'm vegetarian now days, but its the ONLY dish that could convert me again to be a meat eater
Joen drink the superbock 😂
He wish he could 😅
brown it 1st
I LOVE Portuguese food, but have never had a bifana I liked!! Totally me...Just not my thing!!!
I actually haven’t been a fan of bifanas either. But the Porto one is definitely not like what I “expected” a bifana to be like. So maybe you’ll like that variety ❤️
@@howsitcooking2478 I will keep an open mind and we will eventually take a road trip to Porto and the north so I will have to try it!! Yours looked pretty good to though!
Get the ghee out of a can, it's giving me anxiety.
Haha I’ve never seen anyone use the actual garlic skins 🤔
I do it all the time. Same with onions. Ofc only in marinades or both. I wouldn’t eat it to 😅❤️
@@howsitcooking2478 love the channel and the vlog. I’m from Portugal originally and you guys have seen more of my own country that I have 😂 beijinhos
You should never peel the garlics, the skin gives lots of flavour
So que os portugueses nao metem os alhos com casca!!
#fcporto
Use raw garlic... trust me ;)
ALWAYS RAW.......ALWAYS....
... every time not just with bifana
