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: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 2  lbs  cube steaks, cut into 4-6 pieces
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 3  limes, juice of
• 4  garlic cloves, minced
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
• 2  tablespoons butter
• 1  large yellow onion, roughly chopped
• 2  tablespoons parsley, finely 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.
