Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider marinating the steaks for a few hours instead of overnight. If you don't have hominy, you can substitute with corn or chickpeas. For a spicier kick, add some sliced jalapeños or use a spicy sweet and sour sauce. Ensure your pan is hot before frying the steaks to achieve a nice sear.
