About Biftec

Biftec, derived from the French term "bifteck," refers to a pan-seared or grilled beef steak commonly featured in Latin American and European cuisines. The dish often includes a tender cut of beef seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, or chili powder and is typically paired with accompaniments like sautéed onions, tomatoes, and potatoes. Originating as an adaptation of European culinary traditions, Biftec has become a staple in countries like Mexico, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. Nutritionally, it serves as a high-protein option, providing essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. However, its health profile can vary depending on preparation, as factors like added oils, seasonings, or fried sides may impact calorie and fat content. For a lighter version, consider lean cuts of beef and serving it alongside fresh vegetables or whole grains. Biftec offers a hearty, flavorful meal rooted in cultural tradition.
