Fried Beef Filet Steak

How to Make the Best Filet Bistec Salteado

Raúl Musibay: Back in the good old days there was plenty of good beef in Cuba!

Glenn Lindgren: And Cuban cooks have come up with many ways to prepare beef steak.

Jorge Castillo: There's empanizado, palomilla, encebollado – just to mention a few of my favorites.

Glenn Lindgren: But have you ever had a Cuban stir fry?

Jorge Castillo: This recipe is about as close as you're going to get. The deep fat fried potatoes are the key ingredient.

Glenn Lindgren: We tried it last weekend and it's great!
