Skirt Steaks with Red Onion Mojo
Nuevo cubano: This is Rodriguez's riff on vaca frita, slow-cooked shredded meat that's then sautéed with onions. Rodriguez likes to serve the steak whole, with an onion mojo on the side. (Mojo usually refers to a marinade made with citrus, olive oil, and onions, but here the mixture has been transformed into a condiment.) What to drink: A selection of Latin beers like Corona Extra, Hatuey, Negra Modelo, Dos Equis, and Tecate.
