Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Latin American     Caribbean

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ teaspoon cumin seeds
¼ cup orange juice
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Montreal-style steak seasoning
2 ¼ teaspoons lime juice
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
1 ½ pounds beef rib-eye steaks

Steps:

  • Place cumin seeds into a small skillet over medium heat; stir constantly until seeds turn dark brown and smell toasted, about 1 minute. Immediately pour seeds into a bowl to stop the cooking. Mix cumin seeds with orange juice, vegetable oil, steak seasoning, lime juice, and oregano in a bowl.
  • Place steaks into a large resealable plastic bag, pour orange juice marinade over the meat, and squeeze out air. Seal bag and turn it over several times to coat meat with marinade. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or longer for extra flavor.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove steaks from marinade, shaking off any excess. Discard used marinade. Grill steaks on the preheated grill until seared on the outsides and still slightly pink in the centers, 6 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted sideways into the center of the thickest steak should read 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Let steaks rest for 3 minutes before slicing.

Provided by luvcookn

Categories     Rice

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies, drained
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup tomato sauce or 1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
4 cups hot cooked rice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix all ingredients except rice in a 2 qt casserole.
  • Bake uncovered about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot and bubbly.
  • Serve over rice.

Tips:

  • Tenderize the steak: Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to tenderize the steak. This will help to break down the connective tissue and make the steak more tender.
  • Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and oregano will help to add flavor and moisture. You can marinate the steak for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the steak over medium-high heat: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Let the steak rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Cuban steak is traditionally served with black beans and rice, but you can also serve it with other sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Cuban steak is a delicious and flavorful dish that is easy to make at home. By following these tips, you can make a Cuban steak that is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal that your family and friends will love.
