Portuguese Beef and Onions (Bifes De Cebolada) created by Queen Dana

A recipe that I found at recipes4us.co.uk and am posting this for ZWT Spain/Portugal region. I think this would be nice served over pasta, rice or with mashed potatoes. This isn't a spicy dish, so if you are wanting a little zip to the beef/veggie mix, feel free to add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste.

Easy to prepare. The onions and tomatoes were good, but still needed something. Maybe some red pepper flakes, or some sliced bell peppers. Served with rice. A good base recipe that could be adapted to your own tastes.

This was okay ~ we all felt that it was missing something ~ not sure what. Served over noodles. Made for 123 Hits.
