Add a photoThese steaks are a treat and a great way to make an inexpensive cut of meat memorable. You can use bottom round (best), top round, or a thin cut sirloin for this dish. The steaks should be cut about a 1/2 thick. Mine were a little thicker, so I pounded them with a mallet to thin them. In Cuban restaurants, this recipe is called palomilla. Steven Raichlen adapted this from a restaurant in Miami called Victor's Cafe, and put the recipe in his excellent BBQ Bible. I adapted this from that recipe. You won't be disappointed!
Ingredientes
- For the marinade:
- 6 cloves garlic
- 1 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp ground cumin
- 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup sour orange juice or lime juice (I mixed 1/3 cup of lime juice and 1/6 cup of orange juice to simulate the sour orange juice)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- For the steaks
- 4 (6-8 ounce) beef steaks, cut 1/2 inch thick (bottom round, top round, sirloin, etc.)
- 2 large onions cut into 1/2 inch slices (optional)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Direcciones
- Preheat grill to high
- Prepare the adobo (marinade) by combining the garlic, salt, cumin, and pepper in a mortar and grind slowly with a pestle gradually working in the lime juice and olive oil until you have a smooth paste. Or, to save time, put all these ingredients in a blender and process to a smooth paste. Brush some of the adobo on the steaks 10 minutes in advance of placing on the grill. This is not necessary, but will impart additional flavor to the steaks.
- When grill is ready, oil grill grate. Brush onions with oil and place on the hot grate. Grill for 4 minutes on each side, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Once the onions are on the grill, brush the steaks with the adobo and place on the grill alongside the onions. Grill for 3 minutes per side for medium rare, basting with the adobo.
- Transfer the steaks to a platter or individual plates and brush one final time with the remaining adobo using all of it. Let stand for 3 minutes, then serve with the grilled onions.
- This dish goes well with rice, rice and black beans, tortillas, or garlic bread.

Our kids and I really enjoyed these steaks. The flavor was pungent but mild and really accentuated the meat. It reminded me of steak John and I used to get at a cuban place near Weehawken, NJ. Tasty!Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta

11 de Enero de 2013I have not done something Cuban... i would definitely try to make this one. Interesting.- 26 de Octubre de 2012Great recipe. The whole family loved the garlic - lime marinade on the steaks. Will use this again.1 reply
23 de Octubre de 2012This looks really good, but I'm a bit confused. It appears to be a recipe for garlic lime marinade, but lime isn't mentioned in the ingredients. How much lime juice do you use in step 2 (where it says "working in the lime juice and olive oil until you have a smooth paste")? And when do you use the sour orange juice? Or do you use the sour orange in step 2? See -- I'm confused! :-) Thanks!!! (Either way, think the recipe will be a good one, and I'm anxious to try it as I have everything on hand except the lime juice.)1 reply
