Caribbean Style Skirt Steak and Tostones

You will feel like you’re having dinner at a resort in the Dominican Republic when you try this Caribbean Style Skirt Steak served with tostones. Tostones are fried green plantains which are commonly served in many countries in the Caribbean.  This dish was inspired by my wonderful husband who was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. He loves making all types of tasty dishes that bring a little taste of the Dominican Republic into our home.

How to Make Caribbean Style Skirt Steak with Tostones

1. Begin by spraying your skirt steak with cooking spray or rubbing it with olive oil.
2. Season your skirt steak generously with the Himalayan pink salt, ground black pepper, paprika powder, oregano. Set the steak aside once you’re done seasoning it.
3. Over medium heat, place your skirt steak in a skillet and cook to desired doneness. For this recipe, I cooked mine until it was medium-well, which took approximately 10-12 minuts.
4. Once your skirt steak is finished cooking, remove it from the pan and cut it into cubes. Set the skirt steak aside as you finish the rest of your dish.
5. Prepare your creole sauce by cutting and dicing your onion, tomatoes, mushrooms and cilantro. In a separate bowl, squeeze fresh lemon juice from your lemon over those cut vegetables. Mix everything together and set aside for later.
6. Peel and cut your plantains into 1 inch pieces.
7. Heat up in enough oil in your pan to submerge the plantains. Place your plantains into the oil at medium high heat and let it fry for 30-40 seconds. Remove the plantains from the pan and bring them to a cutting board or plate.
8. Smash your plantains using a cup or a smasher if you have one.
9. Prepare your lemon, garlic and water base. Mix water, lemon juice from one freshly squeeze lemon and granulated garlic in a bowl.
10. Dip the plantains into the lemon, garlic and water base sauce.
11. Bring your plantains back to the pan and fry for another 30-40 seconds or until golden.
12. Remove the plantains from your pan and set aside.
13. Over medium heat, combine your cut onion, tomatoes, mushrooms and cilantro. Add your water and tomato paste and stir well.
14. Cook your creole sauce for about 10 minutes or until it has thickened.
15. Serve your creole sauce over your skirt steak and fried tostones and enjoy!

Top Tips for Making Caribbean Style Skirt Steak with Tostones

• Make sure you buy the green plantains not to be mistaken for the yellow ones. The yellow ones are called maduros and have a much sweeter taste. Tostones are made only with green plantains.
• Use a knife to cut the peel off of your plantains. Be careful not to cut the actual plantain itself. Simple, cut a line down the side of your plantain and use your knife to peel back the skin and remove it.
• There are several steps to make this dish, so preparation will be very important. Prep your ingredients before hand to ensure a smooth cooking process.
