Main Dish Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture onto the beef steak and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Steak

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness.

  3. 3

    Cook the Onions

    In the same skillet, add sliced onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent. Serve the onions over the cooked steak.

Rice and Beans

  1. 4

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of rice and a pinch of salt. Stir, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 20 minutes until rice is fluffy.

  2. 5

    Prepare the Beans

    In a separate pot, heat the black beans over medium heat until warmed through. You can season with salt to taste.

Tostones

  1. 6

    Fry the Plantains

    Peel and slice the plantains into 1-inch thick slices. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  2. 7

    Smash and Re-fry

    Remove the plantains from the oil and smash each slice flat. Return to the oil and fry again for another 2-3 minutes until crispy.

Salad Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Salad

    Wash and chop the lettuce and tomatoes. Toss them together in a bowl and serve with a dressing of your choice.
