Portuguese Beef And Onions Bifes De Cebolada

---

A recipe that i found at recipes4us.co.uk and am posting this for zwt spain/portugal region. i think this would be nice served over pasta, rice or with mashed potatoes. this isn't a spicy dish, so if you are wanting a little zip to the beef/veggie mix, feel free to add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste.
