How to Make Palomilla Steak Sandwich?
In this first recipe, I will prepare them in the traditional Cuban style, over a skillet or pan. This process gives a smoky crisp that using grills can’t make. Let’s proceed to the ingredients list and directions for making.
Ingredients we Need:
1 lb of beef sirloin steaks (1/4 inch thick and counts 4)
2 tbsp. of lemon juice
1 tbsp of minced garlic
4 Cuban rolls, split
¼ cup of onion, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. of chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. of butter, finely melted
1/4 cup of KRAFT Zesty Italian Dressing, divided
Methods of Preparing Cuban Beef Sandwich Step by Step:
Step 1: Take out a small bowl and add 2 tbsp of Italian dressing, 2 tbsp of lemon juice and 1 tbsp of minced garlic. Mix finely and set aside.
Step 2: Place the steaks in a shallow dish and pour the dressing mixture. Coat evenly on both sides.
Step 3: Marinate the steaks by placing them in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Step 4: Take out a large skillet and add the remaining dressing over medium-high heat.
Step 5: Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and gently place the steaks on the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes each side or until done. Add max 2 at one time.
Step 6: When done, remove from heat and cover to keep the steaks warm.
Step 7: Now, add ¼ cup of sliced onion in that skillet and cook for 5 minutes on medium-low heat or until the onions are tender and light brown in color.
Step 8: Add 1 tbsp of chopped fresh parsley, and stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Step 9: Spoon the parsley mixture over the steaks and finish by covering the top halves of the rolls.
Step 10: Now, take the sandwiches and brush both sides with melted butter.
Step 11: Here is the trick. You need to heat up 2 skillets on medium-high flame. Place 1 sandwich at a time in the heated skillet.
Step 12: Place the second heated skillet on the top of the sandwich and gently press down on the top of the skillet to flatten the sandwich. Let cook for 4 minutes to 5 minutes on each side until both sides are crispy and golden brown.
Continue the procedure with the remaining sandwiches and serve.
