But ask any <em>abuela<\/em> in Havana, and they&#8217;ll tell you that palomilla steak truly captures the essence of Cuban cooking.<\/p>\n<p>Known for its bold flavors and simplicity, this Cuban favorite features thinly sliced steaks marinated in a zesty blend of lime juice and garlic.

Make a classic meal with rice and black beans, fried plantains and good Cuban bread.<\/p>\n<h2>What is palomilla steak?<\/h2>\n<p>Palomilla steak, or\u00a0<em>bistec de palomilla<\/em>, is a\u00a0traditional Cuban recipe that gets its name from the palomilla cut of beef. It&#8217;s called <em>palomilla<\/em> because the thinly sliced and pounded-out top round or sirloin steak is said to resemble the flatness of the wings of a butterfly or moth (<em>palomilla<\/em> is the Spanish word for a moth or small butterfly). If you can&#8217;t find a palomilla cut, get top round and slice it thin or butterfly it, and pound it to about a 1\/4-inch thickness.<\/p>\n<h2>Palomilla Steak Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Olive oil:<\/strong> Opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-olive-oil-brands\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">high-quality extra virgin olive oil<\/a> to infuse the steak with rich flavor as part of the marinade, and in the skillet to create a perfect sear as the steak cooks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limes:<\/strong> Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a zesty, citrusy flavor to the steak marinade, and wedges make for a fresh, tangy finish when garnishing the dish.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic cloves:<\/strong> Minced garlic gives the marinade a bold, aromatic flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Steaks:<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-cuts-of-meat\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-cuts-of-meat\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best cuts of meat<\/a> for this recipe are top-round steak (which we recommend), or top sirloin. When sliced about 1\/4 inch thick, these lean cuts stay tender and cook quickly and evenly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong>\u00a0Add the simple-yet-essential seasoning combo of salt and pepper before cooking to bring out the steak&#8217;s natural flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onions:<\/strong> White and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/yellow-onion-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/yellow-onion-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">yellow onions<\/a> have mild, slightly sweet flavors that perfectly complement the citrus in the marinade.

Marinate the chicken in the same marinade of lime juice, garlic and olive oil, then pan-fry it in a hot skillet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add some Cuban mojo:<\/strong> For a more authentic twist, marinate the steak in a traditional Cuban mojo sauce, which includes sour orange juice, garlic, cumin and oregano.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spice it up:<\/strong> Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade, or serve the steak with roasted jalapeno peppers on the side for a spicy kick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Palomilla Steak<\/h2>\n<p>To store palomilla steak, first allow the cooked steak to cool to room temperature, then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate it. You can also freeze the steak by wrapping it tightly in storage wrap or aluminum foil and then placing it in a freezer-safe bag or container.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does palomilla steak last?<\/h3>\n<p>Leftover cooked palomilla steak, stored in an airtight container, will last up to three to four days in the refrigerator. If frozen, it will last for two to three months.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat steak palomilla?<\/h3>\n<p>The best way to reheat palomilla steak is to heat a bit of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the steak for two to three minutes on each side. If you&#8217;re short on time, reheating in an air fryer at 180\u00b0 for one to two minutes is an option, or you can place the steak on a microwave-safe plate, cover it with a damp paper towel, and heat it on medium power in 30-second intervals until it&#8217;s warmed through. Just be careful not to overheat the steak, which can make it tough.<\/p>\n<h2>Palomilla Steak Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2068104\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Palomilla-Steak_FT24_277336_EC_1008_7-MLedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Overhead Shot Of Palomilla Steak\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Ellie Crowley for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with palomilla steak?<\/h3>\n<p>When it comes to sides for palomilla steak, you can&#8217;t go wrong with classic Cuban sides like arroz congri (white rice and black beans) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-plantains\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/air-fryer-plantains\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fried plantains<\/a> or tostones.

Other thin cuts like flank steak, skirt steak or thinly sliced ribeye can work well. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly, as these cuts may have slightly different cooking requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>How do I prevent the steak from being too tough?<\/h3>\n<p>The key to keeping your steak from being too tough is to marinate it properly\u2014for at least four hours or even overnight. The lime juice in the marinade helps to tenderize the steak. When cooking, use medium-high heat and cook the steak for just two to three minutes on each side to avoid overcooking, which can make the meat tough. After cooking, let the steak rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat juicy and tender.
