The bitoque is a dish almost every Portuguese person knows by heart: a grilled steak, a fried egg on top, fries and rice. Simple, hearty and comforting.
The bitoque formula
The base is a steak, usually beef or chicken, cooked on the griddle. On top goes a fried egg, and on the side you will find fries, rice or salad.
The sauce, when there is one, ties it all together and adds a homely touch.
Where it comes from
The bitoque is tavern and family food, an everyday dish passed down through generations in Portugal.
That simplicity is exactly why it is so popular: it does not try to impress, it just satisfies.
