Portuguese Prego Roll

Cultural Context

The Prego Roll is a beloved Portuguese sandwich, traditionally made with marinated beef steak served in a soft bread roll. Originating from the street food culture of Portugal, it is often enjoyed as a quick lunch or snack. The name 'Prego' refers to the word 'nail' in Portuguese, as the sandwich is said to be 'nailed' together with the steak and toppings. Today, variations abound, with different meats and sauces, making it a popular choice in many Portuguese-speaking countries and beyond.
