Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I followed the advice in the recipe to marinate the cube steaks overnight, but it’s such an acidic marinade that the resulting steaks broke down into a mushy texture and tasted like vinegar and not much else. For cube steaks that are tenderized and pounded thin to be quickly seared, a 1-4 hour marinade would probably be better. The onions were great though, especially with a little of the author’s homemade sofrito stirred in at the end. I think it will be worth it for me to try again without overmarinating the meat, because this could be a solid budget-friendly weeknight meal.
