prego

You might know prego as 'nail' (like for hammering), and that's its most common meaning. But in Portugal, you'll also hear it for a specific kind of sandwich: a steak sandwich! It's usually a thin beef steak served on a bread roll, often with garlic. So, if someone asks if you want a 'prego,' they might not be talking about home improvement!

When you're at a restaurant, if you see prego on the menu, it's not a metal nail! It's actually a very popular Portuguese sandwich, typically made with a thin slice of seasoned beef, often served on a bread roll. The word prego in this context comes from the verb pregar, which means to nail or to hammer, referring to how the meat was traditionally tenderized or 'hammered' thin. So, depending on the context, prego can refer to either a common hardware item or a delicious meal.
