Bistec Encebollado

(from msmar’s recipe box)

Categories: Beef, Cuban, Main Dish

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sirloin steak (about 8 ounces per serving)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 4 large onions, sliced thin
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Black pepper
  • Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning
  • Chopped fresh cilantro
  • Olive oil for sautéing

Directions

  1. Using a meat mallet, place the steaks between two pieces of wax paper and pound out to a thickness of 1/4 inch.

  2. Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan at low heat. Sauté onions briefly! They should still be slighty crisp. Remove onions.

  3. Sprinkle each steak with Adobo seasoning and black pepper and rub in. Sauté the garlic for one minute in a small amount of olive oil, . Add steaks and sauté to desired doneness in olive oil. (We like ours rare!) Remove steaks. Deglaze the pan by adding the lime juice and continuing to heat, stirring constantly. Cook long enough to reduce (thicken) somewhat.

  4. Cover each steak with the fried onions. Pour sauce over steaks and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
