- We make Portuguese Bifanas 2 ways and see which one we prefer.
Below are the ingredients for both recipes
North South
500g pork loin in strips 400g pork loin thinly sliced
25 pork lard 4 cloves garlic crushed
1 TBSP olive oil pinch of salt
1 medium onion diced 1 bay leaf
2 cloves garlic roughly chopped 2 TBSP piri-piri sauce
2 bay leaves 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 tsp cumin 2 cups white wine
1/2 tsp chilli powder 2 tsp paprika
1 tsp paprika (reserve 1 cup wine and 1tsp of
100g passata/tomato puree paprika for sauce at the end)
1 cup water 2 TBSP olive oil
300ml beer 4 crusty bread rolls
1/2 cup Port wine
salt and pepper to taste sweet mustard as optional sauce
4 crusty bread rolls
South:
Slice pork loin into thin slices, (can be tenderised and flattened a bit with a tenderiser if desired).
Prepare the marinade by crushing or mincing the garlic, then adding the bay leaves, salt and paprika to a bowl. Add the piri-piri(chilli) sauce, along with ½ cup of white wine vinegar and 1 cup of white wine and mixing together. Place the slices of pork into the marinade and allow to marinate for anything between 1-2 hours to overnight if you want.
In a hot pan, add some olive oil. Remove the pork slices from the marinade and fry for between 1 and 2 minutes per side until cooked and nicely browned. Remove from pan and place to one side.
Deglaze the pan with 1 cup of white wine, and add 1tsp paprika. Let recuce a bit and add pork slices back to pan to coat in the sauce and warm through.
Serve on a crusty roll, dipped in the sauce and add some sweet mustard as an option.
North:
Slice Pork into strips.
In a hot pan, add pork lard and let melt down. Once lard is melted, add a little olive oil, and a medium sized onion, finely chopped, and 2 bay leaves, and let onions soften. add 2 cloves of chopped garlic, and let cook until fragrant. Add 1 tsp paprika,1 tsp cumin and ½tsp piri-piri or chilli powder. Add 100g tomato puree, ½ cup port wine, and about 300ml beer, and ½ cup water. Get up to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes and is starting to thicken, add the salt and pepper and stir through. Add the pork Ad stir, making sure all the pork is covered, and let cook covered for between 20 and 25 minutes, until pork is tender.
Serve on a crusty roll

This is great!!! Loved your video! We visited Portugal for the first time a few months ago, and it was our initial step in eventually moving there! Thanks so much for comparing the two types of Bifanas! Very much interested in why you decided to live inland vs. on one of that coasts! Will be binging on your videos over the next few weeks!
Thank you so much ☺️ What is not to love about this beautiful country and people ❤️ It was a lot cheaper and we love nature 😉 Portugal is beautiful, both inland or coast 👍🏻 Thanks for watching. Have a great week ahead 👍🏻
Nick from Project Portugal was right! Your video is EXCELLENT.

Hi, thank you very much. The sauce was amazing and we think it would work with a few different dishes. Stay tuned, we do have a few vegetarian dishes coming up, one very shortly.
Ah this is brilliant guys! We're going to have to make sure we're not hungry whenever we watch your videos :D
Thank you guys 😊.
Both look great. I am now ready for lunch.

Found you from Nick's! Hello fellow Capetonians!
Hi Cindy, we almost feel like we know you already, been subscribed to your channel for a while. We feel so bad for you with the situation you find yourself in with the whole travel debacle, we are always checking to see if there is any new and good news for you. We are thinking of you.
Thanks !! I was sent by Nick & Andrea. I've subscribed and your food looks wonderful.
Maybe "they" could get a free meal for everyone who says they sent them. LOL
🤣😅😛🤣
Thank you for subscribing😁
We will be cooking for them for the next year at this rate 😂😂, but will definitely do a dish for them, great idea.
Wonderful you two!! So nice to see you guys, and the food looks delish!! 😉👌💕
Thank you Jenni, so nice to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed the video🤗
South. I’m from Texas. Yum.
Hi Rachel😁, welcome, thank you for watching.
Nice program, sent here by Proj.Port. Cheers. & Good Luck
Thank you ,we really appreciate it.
Congratulations.Wish you both the best.🌻
Thank you 😁
Oh yum both looked amazing thanks for sharing 😁
You are very welcome, thank you for watching.
Wow! What a great idea for a channel, and a classic recipe to start! Thank you. I'm teaching in Deer Lake First Nation, Ontario, Canada, and I am joining you because Nick & Ang mentioned you. I will be delighted to follow and also to try your wonderful cooking ideas, if I can find ingredients here. Long ago, I had the pleasure of visiting Portugal and wished that I could collect a few ideas and/or recipes. Bless you for sharing that happiness so generously. You have a good vibe. I'd go north - the sauce is compelling. I'm not a fan of a vinegary overtone - reminds me of the BBQ of Eastern North Carolina. When I was in Portugal, I noticed some Roma in caravans, cooking at a campfire. I'd love to get in on some of their recipes, if you can find them.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the recipe and we hope you can find the ingredients to try make it. I agree the vinegar wouldn't be to everyone's taste. We will definitely try to find some recipes and cook them, we enjoy trying new dishes and learning about food from different cultures.
Great vid guys, hope your enjoying it there, it looks really nice. How about a vid of the place now?
Thanks Neil, we are enjoying it immensely. Will show some more of the place in the next video, and in subsequent ones 👍
Looks very tasty😊
Thank you so much for the comment, we enjoyed sharing the process of making it.
Wow guys, they both look yummy amazing 😋
I’ll have to go for a tie ☺️
Well done guys, keep it up !
Thanks Buddy, it was quite difficult for me to decide too 😂. Glad you enjoyed the video.
looks delicious, i heard about you at Nick and Andreas channel. success in all your efforts
Thank you very much, we appreciate the support😁
Whaaat no boerie rolls? 😉. Watching from Botswana referred over by Project Portugal. Bifanas looked amazing or lekker!
HaHaHa, one day soon hopefully !!! We believe there is some good boerewors to be found, but we haven't gotten round to tracking any down yet. We have been missing them, not gonna lie. Thank you for the comment.
@@portugalthewrightway I’m sure not missing them too much when there’s sooo many Portuguese delicacies, but if you find some, I’m looking forward to seeing the braai
@@pips9856 you're so right about the portuguese delicacies, but some things are harder to not miss than others 😁
Hello! Just come over from Project Portugal they suggested your page to us. I’m Mo from U.K. Great video, although i don’t eat meat, I have to say it looked delicious and will cook it for friends. Would you be able to show us some fish and vegetarian recipes please? Looking forward to your next video. Good luck with you channel xxx
Hi MO, thank you for watching. There will definitely be some vegetarian and fish dishes coming up, there are many portuguese fish dishes for us to try.
Hi, saw you on Nics channel..I am from Cape Town
Hi, and welcome😁
Hello there, nice to meet you. I can only go with me eyes, but I would choose north, because the small pieces in the stew look softer than the steaks which seem dry to me. We use a similar method here in Argentina, but with steer and we call them escalopes or breaded, milanesas and eat them either in sandwoches or on a plate with mash potatos or something other.
Hello,lovely to meet you too. I also thought they would be dry, but the marinade works a treat. Natalia says the escalopes and milanesas sound very yummy, and I reckon I agree.
Here from Nick and Andrea's recommendation :)
Thank you for checking out our video😁
Nice! Proj Port Nick and Andrea sent me here. Great channel . What is piri piri.?
Hi Roxanne, thank you for checking us out 😊, glad you've enjoyed what you've seen. Piri-piri is chilli powder,very similar to cayenne pepper.
I was sent here by Project Portugal. As mentioned, Natalia's descent is Portuguese. What's Steven's descent?
Thank you for joining us. Steven is South African, with some English from his father's side, and German from his mother's side.
Thanks to Nick and Ang (Project Portugal) for the referral. Yummm.
Thank you very much :-)
Just subscribed (thanks to Nick and Andrea). Interesting test- the North obviously looks the more juicy but not surprised in a way that you picked the south as the pork got time to slightly caramelise which will have upped the flavour. Definitely worth trying. What cut of pork did you use? Apologies if I missed that in the video.
Thank you for that, we do appreciate it. The north was great, we did find though, as you mentioned, that the caramelisation made an impact, and we both enjoyed the slight acidity from the apple cider vinegar in the marinade. We used Pork Loin in the recipe.
Does Cayli Cakes prefer the North or the South that is the question? 🐶 We can’t wait for the next episode guys 😁 I say the South and Mariza says the North but both look delicious 😛
😂I think Cayli cakes would take either one if it meant she didn't have to have dry pellets. Thank you for the support, next video should be available same time next week 😊
Oh my gosh! This is when I wish there was smell-a-vision! What amazing dishes! One question, what is piri-piri? Can I buy that in the U.S.?
Smell-a-vision would be amazing. Piri-piri is cayenne pepper, will remember to add that in next time we use it, thank you for bringing that up.
Come across from project Portugal 🇵🇹 to see your amazing cooking !! My name is Simon and I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 💚👍
Hi Simon, thank you very much.
WIN 1 MORE WRITING! MY FRIENDS FROM THE PORTUGAL PROJECT RECOMMENDED ME
Thank you😁
Can I ask what cut of pork is that? Is it leg, loin or shoulder? I want to give it a try. Cheers
Hi there 😁. If I remember correctly it was loin, although most cuts would work provided you can cut nice thin slices.
No doubt you will reach 10K subscribers quickly. If you are friends of Nick and Andrea, I will directly hit that subscribe button. From reading the comments you have great content and I can't wait to watch when time allows. Good Luck!!
Appreciate it, thank you, we hope to keep the content good 😊
I think I would go for the northern version, purely for the sauce, and those Portuguese rolls look amazing! 🤤🤤
Thank you Joe, appreciate the support, you can easily make it,, doooo iiiiiit.
bifanas à moda do Porto 🤩🤩
Olá Helder. It was a tough call, we really enjoy both ways, it depends on the day which is our favourite 👍
@@portugalthewrightway they are almost the same... there are no big differences😄
@@paesDalmeida and both delicious 🤤
😀
Welcome😁
Dagsê!, die mense van Project Portugal het my verwys na julle. Ek is n boertjie in Engeland en sien uit na wat julle het. Groete ttuis
Dagsê Marthinus, ons is baie bly dat jy die video geniet het, en dankie vir die comment.
@@portugalthewrightway my plesier en mag God julle seën behoed en bewaar. Mooi daggie verder
Just came back from a trip to Lisbon and I have to say the southern ones tasted better probably because the pork had more intense flavor after being pan fried.
Thank you for the message, we also like the southern version, for that same reason, bit easier to eat too without making a big mess 😁.
How can my favorite North bifana not win??? You forgot to dip that bifana in the sauce to drip down your mouth. But anyway, it was worth watching.
Sorry Manny (Dadsh) 🤦♂️ maybe next time😜. Thank you for watching and for the comment.
South!
Thank you for the vote👍
South! always..., our Northern guys are better cooking stuff like the tasty Francesinhas with lot of sauce. 😎
That's coming one day 😉 thank you for the comment.
Literally the worst name. I entered each letter on my tv and you tube did not give you as a choice on an iPad yes but if you have a tv with the RUclips app NO. You are just starting out but this long name with not one unique work you channel does not come up. Think of something else before y it are doing Ed to obscurity.
We are sorry you had this problem, will try adding some tags to make it easier for next time. Thank you for the feedback, will use it to try to improve.
