An iconic Portuguese street food, the prego roll as we know it in South Africa gained its spicy flavour from fiery Mozambican peri-peri sauce.
Ingredients
- 2x 200g ribeye steaks
- 2 fresh bay leaves (optional)
- Floury Portuguese rolls
- Sliced red onion
- Sliced ripe tomato
- 4-6 small chillies, stems removed
- Juice and zest of 1 large lemon
- 150-200ml olive oil
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 30ml white vinegar
- 4-5 sprigs of fresh thyme, woody stalks discarded
- Coarse ground sea salt, to taste
For the peri-peri sauce
Directions
- For the peri-peri sauce, blitz up all the ingredients except the salt in a liquidiser, adding a little more olive oil if too thick. Season with salt to taste and set aside. Baste the steaks with the peri-peri sauce and sear or braai the steaks over high to medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side for medium rare. Leave the meat to rest for 10 minutes and if desired, slice into strips.
- Assemble the prego rolls by halving the Portuguese rolls and spreading a little of the remaining peri-peri sauce over the top half. Pile the sliced red onion and tomato on top of the steak, close up the roll and serve with lots of napkins and a few glasses of Alto Shiraz.
Recipe Note
Season each steak with salt and pepper and press a bay leaf into the meat.
