Author Notes
I have been creating recipes for a very long time and recently created a blog which has become rather popular. (http://jumpintomykitchen.blogspot.com/) In this recipe I marinated the meat for over two hours in Portuguese red wine along with herbs and spices, then grilled it so the outside was almost burnt and the inside was tender and pink. Served on a Portuguese bun, called a 'carcaca' (pronounced 'carcassa'). A nice variation would be to top it with sauteed baby chanterelle mushrooms. I served it open faced with sweet potato fries. —JumpIntoMyKitchen!
