Taste of Traditions
For Enrique Santos, few meals capture the flavors of his Cuban heritage quite like bistec de palomilla con arroz blanco y tostones. A classic Cuban comfort food, bistec de palomilla features thinly pounded steak marinated with garlic and lime, pan-fried until tender, and traditionally topped with sautéed onions. Served alongside fluffy white rice and crispy twice-fried green plantains, this beloved combination is a staple of Cuban home cooking. For Enrique, it represents the familiar flavors of his upbringing, the traditions passed down through generations, and the Cuban-American culture that remains an important part of his identity.
