Pan con Bistec (Steak Sandwich)
Pan con bistec is made with steak, onions, mayo-ketchup, and papitas (potato sticks). I use cube steak, which cooks up juicy and tender.
Ingredients

- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tbsp vinegar

Instructions
Marinate the steak
- Wash the cube steak with cold water and vinegar. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Place the steak in a bowl and add the oil, vinegar, and seasonings.
- Toss the steak until evenly coated in the marinade.
Cook the steak
- Place a pan over medium high heat. Drizzle some oil on the pan and sear the steak on both sides, about 3 minutes per side.
- Add the onions to the pan and continue cooking for about 4-5 more minutes.
Toast the bread
