About Bistec de Palomilla
Jamie Silva records this Cuban palomilla steak from watching her mother cook it. Thin top-sirloin steaks receive a citrus-and-garlic mojo marinade and complete seasoning before being quickly pan-seared.
Her homemade mojo uses sour orange, garlic, white onion and oregano. The accompanying seasoning blend adds coriander, cumin, annatto, onion powder and black pepper, alongside garlic powder and salt.
Sliced onion softens in the same skillet after the steaks. It is served over the beef, with white rice as one of the recipe's suggested accompaniments.
