Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs flank steak
  • 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 4 Cuban-style rolls split
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter softened

Method
 

  1. Whisk the orange juice, lime juice, garlic, cumin and 1 teaspoon salt, add the flank steak and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  2. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat its surface dry and discard the marinade.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and cook the onion with the remaining salt for 6 minutes until soft and browned.
  4. Transfer the onion to a plate and sear the steak for 4 to 5 minutes per side until it reaches 145°F.
  5. Rest the steak for at least 3 minutes, slice it thinly across the grain and divide it among the rolls with the onion.
  6. Butter the outsides and press the sandwiches in the skillet for 1 to 2 minutes per side until crisp and compact.
