"Nice use for a cheap cut of meat -- cube steak. How can you miss when it's marinated in garlic and lime juice?!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 20mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 907.18 g cube steaks, cut into 4-6 pieces
• 2.46 ml salt
• 1.23 ml ground black pepper
• 3 limes, juice of
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 29.58 ml olive oil
• 29.58 ml butter
• 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped

directions

1. Season steaks with salt and pepper. Put steaks, juice from 2 limes and garlic in a 1-gallon zip-top bag or in a shallow glass pan or plate. Marinate for at least an hour.
2. When ready to cook, put oil and butter in a heavy frying pan over medium heat. When butter stops foaming, add onions and sauté until soft and just starting to turn color, about 5 minutes. Remove onions to a bowl, cover with foil and set aside.
3. Turn heat under pan to medium-high. Add steaks, being sure not to crowd the pan and adding a little more olive oil if needed. Cook about 2 minutes per side, flipping when juices come to surface. Remove to a platter or individual plates.
4. Add any leftover pan juices to onions, along with juice from remaining lime, and parsley. Top steaks with onions.
5. Serve with white rice.

What an interesting taste combo! The lime comes up as a sensory surprise, even though you know you put it in there! I had no parsley, but I did have cilantro on hand. That was a good choice! Because I am particularly fond of plain old cube steak quick pan fried, I admit to comparing old to new - thus only 4 stars. But I will try it again. I didn't put it on anything. I will add a slice of tomato for color somewhere along the line - cooked w/ the onions or just layered on top of finished product.
