Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat: Palomilla steak is a flavorful and tender cut of beef that is perfect for frying. It is also relatively inexpensive, making it a great option for a budget-friendly meal.
  • Tenderize the meat: Pounding the meat with a meat mallet or rolling pin helps to break down the connective tissue and make it more tender.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: Marinating the meat in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and oil helps to enhance the flavor of the steak.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This helps to create a crispy crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Palomilla steak is a thin cut of meat, so it cooks quickly. Overcooking can make the steak tough and dry.

Conclusion:

Bistec de Palomilla, or Cuban Fried Steak, is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The steak is flavorful and tender, and the crispy crust adds a nice touch of crunch. Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or salad, for a complete meal.
