Step 1

Preheat oven to warm or its lowest setting.

Step 2

In a medium size bowl, add the oil, vinegar, lime juice, garlic cloves, chopped onion, adobo, oregano, pinch of cumin and black pepper. Whisk well and set aside.

Step 3

Rinse steaks and place in the marinade for 20 minutes to 24 hrs.

Step 4

Break crackers some and add to a blender or food chopper with the garlic powder.Blend until the crackers are fine ground.

Step 5

Prepare three separate bowls of flour, cracker meal and egg wash.

Step 6

Flour steaks on both sides. Shake excess flour off.

Step 7

Dunk steaks in the egg wash and then into the cracker meal.

Step 8

In a large skillet, add oil to cover the bottom of the pan.About ½ an inch of oil. Heat over medium heat.

Step 9

Fry two or three steaks at a time until golden brown on one side.Flip steaks over using a spatula or tongs so you do not disturb the coating on the steaks and cook for another few minutes until golden brown.Drain steaks on a wire cooling rack on top of a baking sheet so air is able to circulate and breading on steaks does not become soggy.Continue frying the rest of the steaks until they are all fried.Note: Keep cooked steaks warm in the preheated oven while frying the other steaks.

Step 10

Top steaks with fresh chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
