Authentic Puerto Rican sandwich that my family can’t get enough of. Wonderful because there is NO bread involved!!!
Ingredients
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
- 1 green plantain, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 ounces beef skirt steak, cut into thin strips
- ¼ medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 pinch cumin
- 1 pinch dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 slice processed American cheese, cut in half
- 2 slices tomato
- 3 leaves lettuce
Directions
Step 1
Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Place plantain halves in the oil and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until they float. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Step 2
Place plantain halves between 2 cutting boards. Press to flatten. Place the flattened plantains back in the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Step 3
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic, skirt steak, onion, cumin and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently, until steak is cooked through.
Step 4
To serve, spread mayonnaise on one of the plantain slices. Top with cheese, steak and onion mixture, lettuce, and tomato. Place the other plantain half on top to form a sandwich. Cut in half and serve!
