A Portuguese street-food favorite, prego no pão is made with thin beef steak marinated with garlic, cooked quickly in an air fryer, and served in whole-grain bread. With low-sugar mustard, it is a suitable sandwich for people seeking to manage their blood sugar.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Marinate the steak

20 min

Rub the beef tenderloin slices with the crushed garlic, olive oil, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.

2

Cook in the air fryer

6 min

Cook the marinated beef in a preheated air fryer at 200°C / 390°F for 3 minutes per side, 6 minutes total. If you do not have an air fryer, use the broil setting in a preheated 220°C / 430°F oven for the same amount of time.

3

Assemble the sandwich

4 min

Spread a thin layer of mustard on the whole-grain bread slices, add the cooked beef, and serve hot.

Reminder

Do not overcook the beef; thin slices become tough quickly. Contains wheat (gluten) from the bread.
