ESPETADA
Despite being made with only four ingredients - beef, bay leaves, garlic, and salt - the original espetadas from the Madeira archipelago are bursting with flavor. This recipe was adapted from cozinhatradicional.com and it suggests using beef tenderloin, which is brushed with crushed garlic and bay leaves.

MADEIRA BEEF AND BAY LEAF KEBABS (ESPETADA)
The classic preparation of this dish-the beef is grilled on special metal skewers with eyelets at the end, then brought to the table and hung with great ceremony from an L-shaped pole, over a bowl piled with Portuguese bread. The meat juices from the kebabs drip onto the bread, which is thought of as much a delicacy as the meat. Unless you are a skilled welder, you will not be able to duplicate this arrangement at home. Solution-serve the kebabs on a platter lined with sliced Portuguese bread. Steven Raichlen.
