Cube Steak With Cuban Lime Mojo is a dish that originated in Cuba and is popular in many Latin American countries. The marinade is made with fresh lime and orange juice, garlic, cumin, oregano, and black pepper.

3.Add steaks to the marinade, turning to coat. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to several hours.
