Bife à parmegiana

Bife à parmegiana, or filé à parmegiana, is a Brazilian dish, originally from São Paulo.^[1] Popularized throughout Brazil, it is a type of fried steak, consisting of a sliced piece of meat, breaded with wheat flour and eggs (egg white), covered with mozzarella cheese, slices of ham and parmesan^[2] and plenty of tomato sauce and condiments such as oregano to taste. Although it is a dish invented in São Paulo, Brazil, it is often, even in the country itself, mistakenly considered an Italian recipe judging by the name.^[3]
