Living in South Florida for several years, this was a favorite of mine when we'd go out to a Cuban restaurant. It's good with black beans & rice & fried plantains. Ingredients:
1 lb top round steak (cut into 6 serving size pieces) |
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped |
2 limes, juice of |
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste |
3 -4 tablespoons olive oil (or butter) |
1 onion, chopped |
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped |
Directions:
1. Pound the steaks on both sides, using a mallet, until 1/4-inch thin. Season with garlic, lime juice, salt & pepper. Allow to marinate at least 1 hour, refrigerated.
2. Remove the steaks from marinade & pat dry. In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat until very hot. Brown each steak for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
3. Transfer the steaks to a serving platter & keep warm. Add the marinade & onion to the pan & cook until the onion is slightly wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Garnish the steaks with the onion & parsley & serve immediately.
