PORTUGUESE PORK LOIN SANDWICH (BIFES DE PORCO)
This is a simple recipe I learned to make for my husband. You can add a bay leaf to the marinating process but I usually forget to add it and it still tastes yummy!

Steps:
- 1. In a pyrex casserole, sprinkle half of the chopped garlic, pepper flakes, salt and a dash of vinegar.
- 2. Layer with the fillets and alternate the ingredients between layers. Cover and place in the fridge over night or in an hour if to be made on same day.
- 3. Heat up the oil in a heavy pan at medium heat. Lower if the first fillet starts splashing too much.
- 4. Preheat the oven at 350 degrees.
- 5. Place as many fillets in the pan and let cook about 4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
- 6. When the first batch of fillets are cooked place in a casserole and put in the warm oven.
- 7. Once all fillets are fried, place the sliced onion in the pan with the same oil used for the fillets on medium heat.
- 8. Once onions are browned, add the tomato paste and stir until the oil has a red tinge. Pour about 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar and let it burn off for about 2 minutes. Take off heat.
- 9. Remove the fillets from the oven and pour the onion mixture over the fillets. You may put in the oven on BROIL for 2 minutes to caramelize the onion.
- 10. Serve the fillets in a toasted and crusty bun.
