Vaca Frita is a flavorful Cuban dish that translates to "fried beef." It features marinated flank steak, slow-cooked to perfection, and then pan-fried until it’s beautifully caramelized. The beef is served with a zesty blend of lime juice, garlic, and onions, giving it a delightful tang. Traditionally accompanied by rice and black beans, it provides a hearty meal rich in protein. While the beef is deliciously savory, it’s best enjoyed in moderation due to its fried nature. Experience the vibrant tastes of Cuban cuisine with this mouthwatering dish!
