One of the staple meals of my Portuguese childhood was always Bife com Ovo A Cavalo. Although my mother used just called any fried beef "Bifes". I had to go to Portugal repeatedly to hear the translation of the full name, which means essentially:
Beef with Egg on Horseback
I always had it with white rice and homemade french fries, I thought the egg was on top of the steak because it was the easiest placement. And the runny yolk was VERY good with the molho, i.e. Gravy. Or as we always called it, "molinho", which means "little gravy"-I always took that to mean pan drippings vs the American Style of heavy gravy made with corn starch.
