Mexican/salsa cube steak instructions

Ok. Did you read the recipe? Did you go to the grocery store? Do you Have all your ingredients? If the answer is yes then let’s START..
Here we go. Pat dry your cube steak. Dry. You don’t want to steam them you want to brown them. And because they are naturally wet that is a little more difficult..
Heat your frying pan. No oil. Not yet..
Generously salt and pepper both sides..
Add the Oil to your hot pan. About 2-3 tablespoons. Add the pieces of meat one at a time and be careful not to splash oil on your self. Sear for several minutes until brown..
Turn over steak and brown on the other side. Don’t turn the heat on the pan down. At this point you may have some liquid in the pan. That’s ok. Cook for 2-3 minutes..
Add salsa and a 1/2 cup water. I live at high altitude with low humidity So I have to add a little more water..
Cover..
Cook at medium heat (a soft boil) for 35 to 45 minutes. it looks weird I know but don’t lose faith..
Remove cover and cook off excess liquid - So that you have kind of a thickened red gravy. Don’t leave the room. It goes fast when it starts to cook off..
Add the cheese and melt for 2 minutes. You can really use any cheese. And that’s it! Meat and salsa in an intimate beautiful relationship..
I serve with mashed potatoes and sour cream. But you could serve it with rice, tortillas, bread or whatever..
Enjoy yourself. Smile and be happy and your food will taste better. Really. 😁.

Any kind that suits your fancy. This lime-heavy version (most mojo is made with sour oranges, a tropical fruit) is a perfect marinade for cube steak, a quick-cooking cut of beef round. Cube steak is cut from the beef top round or top sirloin - not normally tender cuts of meat. So butchers run the pieces through an electric meat tenderizer a couple of times that gives the finished steak patty a distinctly dimpled look. The resulting "cubes" running over the surface of the meat patty is how cube steak got its name.
