Tostone Steak Sandwiches Recipes

TOSTONE STEAK SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Fill a large, deep skillet halfway with vegetable oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Place a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Fry the tostones in 2 batches for about 2 minutes per side, or according to package directions. Drain on the cooling rack.
• Dice the sirloin (do this when it's cold right out of the refrigerator so it's easier to cut into small pieces). Place the steak in a medium bowl. Add the onion and mojo sauce and toss. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Mash the avocado, lime juice and a pinch of salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a medium cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the steak and onions to the skillet, leaving the liquid in the bowl. Sear the steak until the exterior is seared, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the reserved mojo to the pan and cook until steak and onions are browned and caramelized, 3 to 4 minutes more. Turn off the heat, then season with salt and pepper.
• The tostones will vary in size, so match up sets of two that are approximately the same. Spread a thin layer of avocado on one side of the tostones.
• Build sliders by layering one tostone with steak, pico de gallo, a pinch of potato sticks and cilantro and top with a second tostone that is about the size of the first. Repeat with remaining tostones.

JIBARITO SANDWICH RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Marinate the steak: In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, adobo seasoning, garlic powder, garlic, and pepper. Add the steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
• Make the mayoketchup: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Sear the steak: Heat the vegetable oil in a large high-walled skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Add the steak to the pan and sear for 2-4 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (55°C). Remove from the pan and set on a cutting board to rest, then slice against the grain into ¼-inch-wide pieces.
• Make the tostones: Heat the canola oil in a large high-walled skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Peel the plantains and cut in half lengthwise. Add the plantains to the hot oil and fry until light golden brown on all sides, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Working 1 at a time, place a plantain half on a cutting board. Place another cutting board on top of the plantain and press down to flatten until the plantain doubles in width and is about ¼-½ inch thick.
• Return the oil temperature to 350°F (180°C). Fry the plantains again, 2 at a time, until golden brown and crispy on both sides, 1-2 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and immediately sprinkle with salt on both sides.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the mayoketchup across a plantain. Top with 2 half-slices of cheddar, and half of the sliced steak, onion, cilantro, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. Spread another 1-2 tablespoons of mayo ketchup on another plantain and top with 2 more half-slices of cheddar. Top the sandwich with the second plantain. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make another sandwich.
• Enjoy!

TOSTONES

Steps:

• Trim and discard the ends of the plantains. Use a paring knife to cut a slit along the length of the plantain to easily remove the peel, carefully avoiding cutting into the flesh. If the peel is too firm, use a spoon to lift the edges, then discard the peel. Slice the plantain crosswise into 1-inch rounds (about 8 pieces per plantain).
• In a large skillet, heat about 1/8-inch vegetable oil over medium. When the oil shimmers, add the plantains, flat-side down. Fry until beginning to turn golden, about 1 minute per side.
• While keeping the heat on, transfer plantains to a cutting board. Working with one piece at a time, use a tostonera or large flat-bottomed cup to gently press each plantain to about 1/2-inch thick. (If using a cup, keep it as centered as possible to flatten the plantains evenly.)
• Working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding the pan, pan-fry the flattened plantains until golden-brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer tostones to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. While hot, season with salt to taste. Serve immediately.
