Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

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

Steps:

  • 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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the steak came out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a disaster. The steak was overcooked and the mojo sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The steak was a bit tough, but the mojo sauce was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the steak for longer next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with less salt next time.

I'm not a huge fan of steak, but this recipe changed my mind. The mojo sauce is incredible, and it really tenderizes the meat. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! The steak was tender and juicy, and the mojo sauce was amazing. I served it with a side of roasted vegetables, and it was a perfect meal.

Followed the recipe exactly and the steak came out perfect. The mojo sauce was a bit too sour for my taste, but that's just personal preference. Overall, a great recipe!

OMG, this dish is incredible! The steak was so tender and flavorful, and the mojo sauce was out of this world. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this recipe a few times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The steak is always tender and juicy, and the sauce is amazing. I love that it's a relatively quick and easy dish to make, too.

This Cuban-style cube steak is bursting with flavor! The mojo sauce is a perfect blend of citrus, garlic, and herbs, and it really tenderizes the meat. I served it with a side of black beans and rice, and it was a hit with my family.
