Biftek

Biftek refers to a cut of beef, typically from the sirloin or tenderloin. It is most commonly associated with a steak prepared in a particular manner. The term itself is derived from the English word "beefsteak." In many culinary traditions, biftek is prepared by pan-frying or grilling the steak to a desired level of doneness, often served with a sauce or accompaniment. Common preparations include seasoning with salt and pepper before cooking, and then serving with butter, garlic, or herbs. The cut of meat chosen for biftek significantly influences its tenderness and flavor. High-quality biftek often comes from well-marbled cuts. While the term is widely understood in many parts of the world, specific preparation methods and accompanying dishes can vary regionally. The focus is generally on preserving the natural flavor and texture of the beef.
