Ingredients

  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 2 boneless beef top loin steaks
  • 2 filets of beef
  • 4 onions

Instructions

Step Description
1. Mix garlic, black pepper, adobo seasoning, oregano, and vinegar together to create a flavorful marinade. Rub this mixture generously into both sides of the steak, ensuring it is well coated.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over low heat. Add the onions and cook them gently until they are barely cooked, aiming to keep them crisp and white. Once done, remove the onions from the skillet and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
3. Increase the heat to high and add a bit more oil to the skillet if needed. When the skillet is hot, carefully add the marinated steaks. Fry them rapidly on each side until they develop a rich, brown crust, ensuring they are cooked to your desired level of doneness. This should take just a few minutes per side depending on the thickness of the steaks.
4. Once the steaks are cooked to perfection, transfer them to serving plates. Top each steak generously with the caramelized onions, allowing their sweet flavor to complement the savory meat. Serve immediately while still hot and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures in this classic Cuban dish!
