Milk Street Recipe
Portuguese-Style Beef with Pickled Onion and Olives
This is our version of pica pau (which translates as “woodpecker” from Portuguese). The dish, eaten with toothpicks, is served as as appetizer or small plate with crusty bread and cold beer as accompaniments. We opted for strip steaks because of their meaty flavor and tender texture. Pickled cauliflower and carrots are often, but not always, included. We liked serving the steak on a bed of vinegar-marinated red onions and olives to balance the beef's richness.
