Here's my take on making his famous jibarito at home.
Instructions to make Jibarito:
- Slice the plantain in half. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side. Take out, flatten making sure to keep the plantain intact. Return to the oil and fry until golden, season with salt and set aside.
- Rub the sofrito all over the steak, season with badida or your favorite Hispanic seasoning salt and cook in a skillet or griddle until done.
- Spread Mexican mayo on the plantain like you would a piece of bread. Place the meat evenly, and assemble the veggies. Serve and enjoy! I get my thin cut steak from the Mexican store in my area. If you don't have one in your area you could always go to your local butcher and ask them to show it for you. I believe the steak I get is called Bistek de rez.
The plantain bread slices for this sandwich are most easily made if you have a large deep fryer, but it can also be done in a deep skillet with oil.
