Description
Experience tender, flavorful beef bursting with citrus and garlic in this authentic Cuban dish.
Ingredients
- Flank steak
- Garlic
- Citrus juice (orange and lime)
- Olive oil
- Onion
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Boil the beef: Begin by placing the flank steak in a pot of salted water. Boil it until tender—about 45 minutes to an hour depending on thickness.
- Let it cool: Remove the beef from the pot and allow it to cool on a cutting board.
- Shred the meat: Once cool, shred the beef into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- Marinate the beef: In a bowl, combine the shredded meat with minced garlic, citrus juice, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavors.
- Cook the onions: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook until they’re translucent.
- Pan-fry the beef: Stir in the marinated beef, frying it until it gets crispy and golden brown.
- Serve hot: Enjoy the beef fresh from the pan alongside rice and black beans.
Notes
Don’t rush the marinating for a more flavorful beef. Use fresh ingredients to elevate the dish.
