Palomilla Style Steak – Cuban Steak

NOTES

• Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions have softened, about 5-7 minutes or until golden. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl and cover with foil.
  In a bowl, mix together the lime juice, parsley and cilantro. Set to the side.
  In the same skillet that the onions were cooked in, add the lime juice mixture and quickly stir over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. Pour the sauce into a small bowl. Set to the side.
  Position the oven rack 5-6 inches from the broiler unit, and set stove to broil. Line a oven safe broiler pan or baking sheet with foil.
  Pat the steaks dry and season both sides with the salt, garlic and onion powder. Place on a broil safe pan. Gently baste the steak with the melted butter. Broil until browned. About 6-8 minutes for medium-rare. *See notes.
  Place the steak on a plate and tent with foil. Let the steak rest for 10 minutes. Slice thinly across the grain. Pour the sauce over the steak then top with the onions. Sprinkle with a good quality coarse sea salt. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing.
