Steak and Onions / Bistec Encebollado

Here is another recipe that is great for a weeknight dinner. This dish is a staple in Latin households. It’s quick and easy to make. I forget how delicious this dish was.

The prep and cooking time are under an hour so this would be great to make on those busy nights. The steak comes out so tender from the marinating in vinegar and seasonings. Clean up is easy too you only use one large skillet to cook.

The onions get soft and tender giving the steak another layer of flavor.

We served it with rice and beans but you can have tostones on the side as well.
