Description

Bistec Encebollado (Cuban steak and onions) is a popular dish in Cuba as well as in other Caribbean islands like Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (1 pound) New York strip steak, sliced thin
3 large onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon onion powder
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons sofrito
1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

1 Combine salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle over steak slices on all sides to season. Transfer steak to a resealable plastic bag and add sliced onions, vinegar, and onion powder. Move steaks around to combine with the marinating ingredients. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
2 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add steak and onion mixture; cook and stir until steak is browned and onions are soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
3 Add beef broth, sofrito, and garlic to the skillet and cook over medium heat until garlic is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add steak and onions back to the skillet, cover, and simmer over low heat until onions and steak are cooked through, about 15 minutes.
