Cuban Pan Fried Steak (Bistec De Palomilla) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

24 ounces top round steaks, pounded to 1/4 inch thick
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 limes, juiced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil or 3 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

Preparation

Cut steaks into six equal portions. Season steaks with garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Allow to marinate at least 1 hour, refrigerated.
Remove the steaks from the marinade and pat dry; reserve marinade. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat until very hot, and brown each steak for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the steaks to a serving platter and keep warm. Add the reserved marinade and onion to the pan and cook until the onion is slightly wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.
Garnish the steaks with the onion and parsley and serve immediately.
