Cube Steak With Cuban Lime Mojo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 4 limes)
1/2 cup orange juice
1 1/2 lbs round steaks or 4 cube steaks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 sweet white onion, sliced thin
1/2 red pepper, sliced into thin strips

Preparation

Smash and peel garlic and place in a mortar; sprinkle with salt and let sit for 5 minutes to soften the garlic.
Use the pestle to form the garlic and salt to a paste; in a small bowl, combine the garlic paste, oregano, cumin, pepper, lime juice and orange juice.
Place the steaks in a single layer in a baking dish; pour the marinade over and let sit about 20 minutes.
Heat a skillet over high heat, add oil, and cook the onions and peppers, while stirring, until softened, anout 2 minutes; remove to a bowl.
Place steaks into the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, then flip and cook another 2 minutes.
You will probably have to do this in two batches.
Return the onions and peppers, along with the steaks, to the skillet, cover, and cook another minute.
Place steaks on a serving plate covered with the onions and peppers.
If desired, you can cook the marinade for a couple of minutes and spoon that over the steaks.
