VACA FRITA (PAN-FRIED BEEF)
This is one of my favorite Cuban foods. It reminds me of the countryside. I like this with black bean soup and rice and either platanos maduros (fried ripe plantains) or tostones (fried pressed plantains). You could also serve with black beans and rice cooked together. A spicy Cabernet Sauvignon would go well with this dish.

Steps:
- Cut 1 onion in half and thinly slice the remaining onion. Set aside.
- Combine flank steak, halved onion, bell pepper, and bay leaf in a large saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer until meat is easily shredded with 2 forks, about 20 minutes. Transfer flank steak to a work surface and let cool, about 10 minutes. Strain beef broth and save for another use. Shred cooled meat using 2 forks and place into a separate bowl.
- Mix garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt in another bowl. Apply paste onto the meat, along with lime juice, olive oil, and sliced onion. Let stand at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add butter. Working in small batches, spread shredded beef in a thin layer into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook, turning once or twice, until sizzling and crispy, about 7 minutes per batch. Transfer to a platter and serve with lime wedges.

Steps:
- To a large pot, add steak, bay leaves, carrot, tomato, cumin, and oregano and cover with water. Boil the meat until it becomes tender, then remove from the liquid, and shred the meat. Into a very hot saute pan pour 1/8 cup olive oil, then add the meat, making sure to spread it out evenly. Flip it over and cook until both sides become crispy. In a separate pan, add the remaining oil and cook the onions until caramelized, then mix in the meat, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

- Season the flank steak with 1 tbs of salt and 1 ½ tbs of garlic powder on each side. Cut the flank steak into four rectangular/square pieces. Place the steak in a pressure cooker along with ½ an onion, ½ green pepper, and 4 garlic cloves. Add 4 cups of water (this should be enough water to cover the meat). Cook under pressure for 10 minutes.
- While your flank steak is cooking, squeeze in 1/3 cup of orange, lemon, and lime juice. Stir together. Add the cumin, oregano, and black pepper and mix to combine. Also, at this time, cut the remaining onions into strips and mince the remaining garlic cloves.
- Once the flank steak is done cooking, remove from the pressure cooker and shred into pieces using two forks.
- Heat 6 tbs of oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shredded flank steak and half of the onions and all the garlic. Stir to coat with oil and let it cook for five minutes. After five minutes add about 1/3 of the citrus and seasoning mixture and stir. Let it cook for another five minutes without stirring so that the steak starts to become crispy. After these five minutes, add the remaining onions and another 1/3 of the citrus and seasoning mixture and stir to combine. Allow to cook for another five minutes and add the remaining citrus and seasoning mixture. Cook for another five minutes. Each time you mix the steak, you should notice that the steak in the bottom is becoming crispy.
