Vaca Frita Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, combine minced garlic, house adobo seasoning, fresh lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Add the flank steak and coat it well with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Cook the Steak

   Remove the steak from the marinade and let it come to room temperature. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the steak for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest for 10 minutes.

3. 3

   Shred the Steak

   After resting, shred the steak using two forks. Set aside.

4. 4

   Crisp the Steak

   In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the shredded steak in a single layer and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. 5

   Sauté the Onions

   In another pan, sauté the sliced red onions in a little bit of oil until they are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the crispy shredded steak topped with the sautéed red onions. Enjoy!
