Bistec Encebollado: Puerto Rican Steak & Onions

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a Puerto Rican recipe, but since my classic Rice and Beans continues to be one of the most popular recipes on the blog I thought I’d share another. I’ve also included my recipe for tostones (twice fried plantains)–bonus!

Bistec Encebollado: Puerto Rican Steak & Onions

I love how quick most Puerto Rican food comes together without ever sacrificing flavor.  This a Puerto Rican take on Steak & Onions. I thinly slice my steak–it’s better for stewing in my opinion–but you can also leave it whole if you wish. Be sure to serve it with rice to soak up all the juices!

Yield: 4
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Puerto Rican style steak and onions.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound sirloin or round steak, whole or sliced thin
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 large white onion, thickly sliced
  • Salt, pepper and adobo, to taste
  • 1/2 packet sazon (optional)
  • Cooked rice, for serving
  • Tostones (recipe follows)

Instructions

  • Combine all ingredients in a large ziploc bag or shallow dish. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 30 minutes to 4 hours.
  • Pour all contents into a large skillet, cover and simmer over low heat for about 40 minutes or until steak is tender and onions have cooked down. Taste and season again if necessary. Serve with rice and tostones.

    Tostones

    Ingredients:

    • 2 green plantains
    • Oil for frying
    • Salt

    Directions:

    To peel the plantain: slice off both ends, run a knife down the length creating a shallow incision. Pry open to unwrap.

    Cut into 1-inch thick slices. Fry in hot oil until softened, but not browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from oil and flatten each piece to 1/2-inch thickness. This can be done with the bottom of a plate or cup. Return to oil and fry again on each side until crispy and golden yellow, about 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt while hot. Serve with any Puerto Rican meal.

    NOTE: Tostones can also be cooked in a deep fryer instead of pan frying.

    Yield: about 4 servings
