Bistec de Cerdo, a staple in Latin American cuisine, is a flavorful dish made with thinly sliced pork steaks seasoned with garlic, salt, pepper, and occasionally citrus or herbs for depth. Often pan-fried or grilled, it pairs well with rice, beans, and fresh salads. Originating from countries like Cuba and Puerto Rico, it showcases the region's love for bold flavors and simple preparation methods. Pork is a rich source of protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as zinc. However, depending on the cooking method, it can also be high in saturated fats and sodium, especially when fried or heavily seasoned. Opting for leaner cuts of pork and preparing it with minimal oil can make this dish a healthier option while maintaining its authentic taste.
