curry adobo rubbed flank steak
Flank steak is seen on many Latin tables across the country and all served in their own unique way," Linares says. "I like to make mine a little different and still keep the traditional flavors of Cuba, starting with a Jamaican curry rub accented with ground cumin and Chinese ginger. This really elevates the flavor and gives it a beautiful crust when seared; the palate goes through a beautiful dance of great flavors, like dancing a good salsa.
