Mofongo

Steak and Onions

Method

Mofongo Preparation

  1. 1

    Fry the Plantains

    Peel the green plantains and cut them into 1-inch thick slices. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices until they are golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.

  2. 2

    Mash the Plantains

    In a large mortar and pestle (or a mixing bowl), add the fried plantains, garlic cloves, and salt. Use a pestle or fork to mash the mixture until it's a thick, chunky paste. Gradually add chicken broth until desired consistency is achieved.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Pork Cracklings

    Fold in the pork cracklings into the mashed plantains until well combined. Shape the mofongo into small balls or serve in a bowl.

Steak Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Steak

    Season the steak with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes.

  2. 5

    Cook the Onions

    Slice the onion into thin rings. In a skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until they become soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 6

    Cook the Steak

    In the same skillet, increase the heat to medium-high. Add the seasoned steak and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Once cooked, remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes.

  4. 7

    Combine Steak and Onions

    Slice the rested steak against the grain into strips. Return the sautéed onions to the skillet and mix with the steak for a minute to reheat. Remove from heat.
