Bistek Encebollado Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   Cook the Onions

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Grill the Steak

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

4. 4

   Combine

   Return the cooked onions to the skillet, add the sliced steak, and toss to combine, allowing the flavors to meld for about 2-3 minutes.

5. 5

   Prepare the Plantains

   Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally. In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat and fry the plantain slices until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Sprinkle with brown sugar and let caramelize for an additional minute.
