Bisteca de Porco, or pork chops, is a popular dish in Portuguese cuisine, celebrated for its savory flavors and simplicity. Typically made from bone-in or boneless cuts of pork, these chops are seasoned with garlic, paprika, olive oil, salt, and sometimes lemon juice, then grilled or pan-fried to perfection. Accompanied by sides like sauteed vegetables, rice, or roasted potatoes, this dish is a hearty and satisfying option. Pork is a good source of protein, B vitamins, and zinc, supporting muscle health and immune function. However, the fat content in pork chops can vary, with higher levels in certain cuts. Opting for leaner pork and moderate use of added oils can make this dish healthier. Its flavor-packed yet straightforward preparation makes Bisteca de Porco a staple for those seeking a balance of nutrition and indulgence, rooted in the rich culinary heritage of Portugal.
