    How to serve

    Want to try the combination pictured here? Serve your bistec encebollado Dominicano with rice with corn and plátanos al caldero and some avocado salad, or Dominican salad with tomato, cucumber, radish, and cabbage or lettuce. A small bowl of Dominican beans (habichuelas rojas guisadas) will complete the meal.

    You can also serve it with just tostones, with which it goes great.

    About this recipe

    This recipe yields 4 servings.

    If your family or guests are enthusiastic carnivores, you might need to double the ingredients, this one serves about 2 thin slices per guest. You will also need a very large pan, or cook the meat in two stages. Don't let it linger in the pan or it will get very dry and hard.

    Buen provecho!

    Ingredients

    • 1½ pound beef round, [0.68 kg], sliced crosswise (¼" [0.5 cm]-thick approx.)
    • 1 large red onion, cut into thin strips
    • Juice of 1 lime
    • 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
    • ½ teaspoon oregano (dry leaves)
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper (freshly-cracked, or ground)
    • 1½ teaspoon coarse sea salt, (or more, to taste)
    • 4 tablespoons vegetable oil

    Instructions
     

    • Seasoning the steaks: Place the beef in a bowl, and add onion, oregano, pepper, vinegar, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and salt.
      Marinate for an hour at room temperature.
    • Cooking the steaks: Once an hour has passed, separate the meat and onions from the marinade liquid. Reserve the liquid and the onions separately.
      Lightly pat dry the beef slices using a paper towel.
      Heat the oil over high heat in a large non-stick pan. Add the beef slices (careful with splatters), Cook for half a minute, turn and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Remove them from the pan.
    • Cooking the onions: Add the onions to the pan and lower the heat to low. Cook and stir until the onions become translucent.
      Once the onions are cooked, increase the heat to medium, and add the liquid from the marinade and simmer until the liquid has reduced to half. Try and season with salt to taste if you find it necessary. Remove from the heat.
    • Serving: Serve the steak with the onions. See serving suggestions above recipe.
