Steps:

• Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Place plantain halves in the oil and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until they float. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
• Place plantain halves between 2 cutting boards. Press to flatten. Place the flattened plantains back in the oil and cook for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic, skirt steak, onion, cumin and oregano. Cook, stirring frequently, until steak is cooked through.
• To serve, spread mayonnaise on one of the plantain slices. Top with cheese, steak and onion mixture, lettuce, and tomato. Place the other plantain half on top to form a sandwich. Cut in half and serve!

Steps:

• Marinate the steak: In a large bowl, whisk together the orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, adobo seasoning, garlic powder, garlic, and pepper. Add the steak and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
• Make the mayoketchup: In a medium bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Sear the steak: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, high-walled skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry with a paper towel. Add the steak to the pan and sear for 2-4 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (55°C). Remove from the pan and set on a cutting board to rest for about 10 minutes, then slice against the grain into ¼-inch-wide pieces.
• Make the tostones: Heat the canola oil in a large high-walled skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
• Peel the plantains and cut in half lengthwise. Add the plantains to the hot oil and fry until light golden brown on all sides, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Working 1 at a time, place a plantain half on a cutting board. Place another cutting board on top of the plantain and press down to flatten until the plantain doubles in width and is about ¼-½ inch thick.
• Return the oil temperature to 350°F (180°C). Fry the flattened plantains again, 2 at a time, until golden brown and crispy on both sides, 1-2 minutes total. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and immediately season with salt on both sides.
• Assemble the sandwiches: Spread 1-2 tablespoons of the mayoketchup across a plantain. Top with 2 half-slices of cheddar, and half of the sliced steak, onion, cilantro, tomato, lettuce, and avocado. Spread another 1-2 tablespoons of mayoketchup on another plantain and top with 2 more half-slices of cheddar. Top the sandwich with the second plantain. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make another sandwich.
• Enjoy!
