Bistec de Palomilla
Bistec de Palomilla is a delicious Cuban dish that features thinly sliced steak, traditionally made from top round or sirloin. The steak is marinated in a tangy mixture of lime juice, garlic, and spices, then quickly seared to perfection. It's typically served with white rice, black beans, and plantains, creating a flavorful and satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds top round or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 limes juiced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, lime juice, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well to create the marinade.
- Add the thinly sliced steak to the marinade and toss until each piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate overnight for maximum flavor absorption.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and add it to the hot skillet. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Sear the steak for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remember to cook it in batches if necessary.
- As the steak cooks, you can remove it from the skillet and set it aside on a plate, keeping it warm.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced onions and cook until they become translucent and lightly caramelized, usually about 5-6 minutes.
- Once the onions are cooked, you can add the previously cooked steak back into the skillet, mixing it with the onions to combine the flavors.
- Cook for an additional minute or two, ensuring all the ingredients are heated through.
- Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.
