About Vaca frita
Vaca Frita, meaning “fried cow” in Spanish, is a beloved Cuban dish known for its bold flavors and crispy texture. It features shredded flank or skirt steak that's marinated in a blend of garlic, lime juice, and spices before being seared to perfection. Typically, onions are sautéed alongside the beef to enhance its richness. This dish originates from Cuban cuisine and is traditionally served with rice, black beans, and plantains. While Vaca Frita provides a good source of protein and iron from the beef, its nutritional profile depends on preparation. Using lean cuts of steak and limiting added oils can make it a healthier choice. However, it may be high in saturated fat depending on the cut and cooking methods used. Pairing it with nutrient-rich sides like black beans and vegetables can help balance the meal and boost fiber intake.
