Living in South Florida for several years, this was a favorite of mine when we'd go out to a Cuban restaurant. It's good with black beans & rice & fried plantains.

BISTEC DE PALOMILLA

Bistec De Palomilla image

Adapted from Vivette Castro by Kim Severson for the New York Times, March 4, 2009. Many Cubans in Miami wax lyrical about bistec de palomilla, the Cuban national steak, and debate whether lemon juice is a reasonable substitute for lime juice in the marinade. People weighed in on the etymology of the word "palomilla" and the political leanings of the late Nitza Villapol, the Cuban cooking teacher who codified the nation's cuisine in books and on television.
