Authentic Bistec de Palomilla (Cuban Beef Steak + Onions)

Ingredients

• 4 palomilla steaks ((top sirloin steaks))
• 1/3 cup mojo marinade ((or use storebought))
• 2 teaspoons complete seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2-3 tablespoons neutral oil (for pan frying)
• 1 medium white onion (sliced thin)
• Salt to taste*

Instructions

1. 1

   If the steaks are already thin, you can skip this step. On a cutting board, place steaks between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound the steaks until they're 1/4-inch thin.

2. 2

   In a shallow dish, add the steaks. Pour the mojo marinade and, season with complete seasoning, garlic powder, and salt to taste on both sides.

3. 3

   Marinate at room temperature for at least 20 minutes but no more than 3 hours.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat oil at medium-high heat. Remove steaks from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and place them on the pan. Cook them for 1-2 minutes per side until browned on both sides.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium-low heat. Add the onions and sauté them for 2-3 minutes until softened.

6. 6

   Serve palomilla steaks with sauteed onions on top and white rice, black beans, and/or maduros. Enjoy!
