Bistec de Cerdo en Salsa is a classic dish in Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in the Caribbean. It features tender pork steak simmered in a flavorful tomato-based sauce infused with garlic, onions, bell peppers, and spices like cumin and oregano. Typically served with rice, beans, and plantains, this recipe balances rich, savory flavors with a hint of natural sweetness. Pork provides a good source of protein, vitamins like B12, and minerals such as zinc and iron, all essential for maintaining energy and promoting overall health. The dish can be adjusted for healthier preparation by limiting added oil and choosing lean cuts of pork, as traditional recipes sometimes lean high in saturated fats. However, the inclusion of vegetables in the sauce adds vitamins, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, making this a hearty and satisfying addition to a balanced diet.
