Granny's Cuban Breaded Steak (Bistec Empanizado) 




4 steaks (1/4 inch thick)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 tbsp fresh garlic, minced
1/4 cup sour orange juice
1/4 tsp salt
4 eggs, beaten well
1 cup finely ground crackers, salt to taste
1/2 onion, sliced into rings
Olive oil

Sprinkle steaks with chopped onion, garlic, orange juice and salt.  Rub garlic into meat.  Marinate for a few hours in the refrigerator.  Brush off the onion pieces and dip each steak into the egg to make sure its fully coated.  Dip the steak into the crackers, making sure that the ground crackers completely cover the steak.  Fry the steaks in cooking oil on medium heat until golden brown and well done.  Serve with a few onion rings.
