Martini steak

Martini steak is a delicious preparation that combines intense flavors and a special marinade to enhance the meat's juiciness. This recipe has its roots in the fusion of European and Latin American culinary techniques, where the term "bistec" refers to a grilled or pan-fried cut of meat, very popular in Spanish-speaking countries.

In Latin America, this preparation may have different names depending on the country. For example, in Mexico it is usually known simply as "bistec adobado" (adobo steak), while in countries like Argentina or Chile it is related to grilled cuts with aromatic marinades. The addition of dry vermouth and Angostura bitters gives it a distinctive and sophisticated touch, highly appreciated in modern fusion cuisine.

This recipe stands out not only for its flavor but also for its marinating method, which allows the meat to deeply absorb the ingredients, achieving a unique culinary experience enjoyed at gatherings and special events.
