This is a very popular Cuban dish. It is pronounced Pal O miya. I'll usually double the marinade and onions as it makes a great mojo to serve over yucca as well as the steaks. Serve with black beans, rice and tostones or maduros. An ice cold Hatuey beer would go well with this, if you can find it. Hatuey was an Arawak that organized other native Caribbean islanders to resist the invading Europeans (mainly the Spanish) cira 1512.

Ingredients
6 Top round steaks, 4-6 ounces each
2 Cloves garlic, finely chopped
Juice of 2 limes
3-4 Tbsp Spanish olive oil
1 Medium size onion, thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
3 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Directions
1) Using a mallet, pound the steaks on both sides until 1/4" thick.
2) Season with garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper, allow to marinate at least 1 hour in the fridge.
3) Remove steaks from marinade and pat dry. Reserve marinade.
4) In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high until very hot.
5) Brown each for 2-3 minutes on each side.
6) Transfer the steaks to a serving platter and keep warm.
7) Add the marinade and onion to the pan and cook until the onion is slightly wilted, 3-4 minutes.
8) Garnish the steaks with the onions and parsley. Serve immediately.
