Bife a Parmegiana is a beloved Brazilian dish that features breaded steak topped with savory tomato sauce and melted cheese.

This dish has its roots in Italian cuisine, but it has been adapted and embraced by Brazilian culture, becoming a staple in many households and restaurants.

To make Bife a Parmegiana, start by coating the steak with flour, then dip it in beaten eggs, and cover it with breadcrumbs. Fry the breaded steak until it is golden brown and crispy. Next, top the fried steak with a generous amount of tomato sauce and a layer of cheese. Finally, bake it until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

For a personal touch, you can customize this dish by adding herbs to the breadcrumb mixture or using different types of cheese. Some people also like to add a slice of ham between the steak and the cheese for an extra layer of flavor.

In Brazil, Bife a Parmegiana is typically served with white rice and French fries, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. It is a popular choice for family dinners and special occasions.

While Bife a Parmegiana is delicious, it is also quite rich due to the frying and the cheese. If you are watching your calorie intake, you may want to enjoy it in moderation or pair it with a fresh salad to balance out the meal.
