Beirute is a popular Brazilian sandwich that features pita bread filled with a variety of delicious ingredients.

Although its name suggests a connection to Beirut, Lebanon, Beirute is a uniquely Brazilian creation that has become a beloved snack and meal option across the country.

To make a Beirute sandwich, start by cooking beef until it is perfectly done. Then, assemble the sandwich by layering the beef with fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, melted cheese, and a generous spread of mayonnaise inside the pita bread.

For a delightful twist, you can customize your Beirute with additional ingredients such as pickles, onions, or even a fried egg.

In Brazil, Beirute is often served with a side of crispy fries, making it a satisfying and hearty meal that is perfect for lunch or dinner.

While Beirute is a tasty treat, it is important to enjoy it in moderation, especially if you are mindful of your calorie intake. Opting for lean beef and whole-grain pita bread can make this sandwich a healthier choice.
