Steps:

• Mix all the adobo ingredients and set aside. Slice the piece of beef in 3 to 4 pieces against the grain and pound thin. Season generously with the adobo, mashed garlic, some onion slices, olive oil and marinate overnight in the refrigerator. In a large skillet places 2 teaspoons of olive oil and heat until it reaches its smoke point, lightly brown the beef pieces and set aside. Add the onions, caramelize lightly or dark depending on personal preference, once color has been obtained from the onions add the vinegar, stock and butter. Let all the butter melt and incorporate with the rest of the ingredients in the skillet and cover with a tight lid. Cook until tender and juicy (approximately 1 minute). To serve, arrange alternate layers of beef and onions over the green beans and top with the allumette fries. Some of the remaining liquid on the skillet can be poured as a thin sauce.

Steps:

• Cut beef tenderloin into 3-ounce medallions and pound to form scaloppini.
• In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, oregano, and 2 tablespoons adobo. Add the meat, stirring to coat evenly. Place in the refrigerator and let marinate for at least 12 hours.
• In a saute pan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and saute until golden brown. Add vinegar, chicken stock, and butter, and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Season with 1 tablespoon adobo, or more to taste. Keep warm.
• In another large saute pan, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add beef scaloppini and quickly saute for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat.
• To serve, layer the beef scaloppini and the onion mixture and repeat layers 1 more time. Ladle the broth from the onions over top as a sauce. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle over steak slices on all sides to season. Transfer steak to a resealable plastic bag and add sliced onions, vinegar, and onion powder. Move steaks around to combine with the marinating ingredients. Seal the bag and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add steak and onion mixture; cook and stir until steak is browned and onions are soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
