BISTEC DE PALOMILLA

Steps:

• Season steaks with salt and pepper. Put steaks, juice from 2 limes and garlic in a 1-gallon zip-top bag or in a shallow glass pan or plate. Marinate for at least an hour.
• When ready to cook, put oil and butter in a heavy frying pan over medium heat. When butter stops foaming, add onions and sauté until soft and just starting to turn color, about 5 minutes. Remove onions to a bowl, cover with foil and set aside.
• Turn heat under pan to medium-high. Add steaks, being sure not to crowd the pan and adding a little more olive oil if needed. Cook about 2 minutes per side, flipping when juices come to surface. Remove to a platter or individual plates.
• Add any leftover pan juices to onions, along with juice from remaining lime, and parsley. Top steaks with onions. Serve with white rice.

PALOMILLA

Steps:

• If the beef is an inch thick or more, slice it in half horizontally and cut each slice in two to make a total of four steaks. Pound the steaks thin, about a quarter of an inch or less, as if making veal scaloppine or minute steaks.
• Mix the garlic, oregano, salt and pepper with the bread crumbs and press the seasoned crumbs into both side of the steaks.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over a high flame and brown the steaks quickly, about two minutes on each side. Keep the steaks warm on a platter.

BISTEC DE PALOMILLA (CUBAN FRIED STEAK)

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
