But of course when we are able to we always choose the best meat possible to make steak, so the result will be excellent.
Using a beef steak is the most popular way to prepare it on the Island and in the rest of the world where Cubans live, but with confidence you can prepare it with whatever type of meat you choose.
All of the ingredients of this recipe are very popular on the Island and the most are specialties that we use in almost every Cuban dish.
Since we are using beef the best thing to do is to marinate it with a sour orange to give it a juicier and more tender texture, but if you don’t have a sour orange you can substitute it with a sweet orange mixed with a lemon.
Also, the traditional way to prepare this recipe is to cook the steak on a pan that is placed directly on the fire, but with modern technology you can make it better in a pressure cooker.
