Cuban Steak Sandwich
Steak, delicious sauce, chips and a sprinkle of onions and parsley. What's not to like?
Ingredients
- 1 lb Steak Top Round or Bottom Round, thinly sliced are what I usually use. If you like lots of meat do 1.5-2 lbs for 2 sandwiches the sauce will still be enough for more meat.
- 1/4 Sweet Onion chopped into tiny pieces
- 3-6 Sprigs Parsley 1/4 or less of the bunch
- 1/2 12 oz Jar Sofrito (found in Spanish section of grocery store)
- 1/2 23 oz Jar mojo Kirby is my favorite brand (found in Spanish section of grocery store)
- 1/2 Cup White Wine Any dry cheap wine is good
- 1 Loaf Cuban Bread this is the long loaf, if using Cuban rolls then 1 per sandwich
- 1 4 oz bag Potato sticks I usually find these in a canister called pik-nik chips, but Kroger now caries their brand in a bag

Instructions
For a juicier steak, marinate overnight in a little (1/2 cup) of the mojo (not necessary, I only do this when I've thought ahead which is not often). Place steak in a frying pan and cook until well done, flipping once. Approximately 5 minutes.
While the steak is cooking chop the onion into tiny pieces. Tear the parsley leaves into small pieces and mix with the onions. Set aside.
Once the steak is cooked remove from pan. Add the mojo, sofrito, and wine to the pan and bring to a simmer, scraping all of the meat gunk off of the bottom of the pan and mixing it into the sauce.
As the sauce is heating cut the steak into 1 inch pieces. Dump it back into the sauce pan once cut. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes to drench the steak with sauce flavor.
To serve cut a cuban bread in half lengthwise. Smother both sides in the sauce and then put the steak on. Then sprinkle the onion and parsley mixture over the meat and load with a mound of potato sticks (I used 1/2 the bag for 1 sandwich). Don't be shy with the chips. Squish the sandwich and stuff everything that fell out back in. Enjoy!
