Portugal protects several native beef breeds, including Mirandesa, Barrosã and Alentejana, each with PDO status. Steak (bife) is usually pan-fried with garlic and bay leaf, and the posta mirandesa, a thick grilled steak from Mirandesa cattle, is the northern classic. Brazilian-style picanha is popular everywhere.
