According to him, either he fires them or they fire him.

No doubt, but I'd put it more like a grain or two at most.

That last I agree with. Whether malice or prank I cannot
venture to say.

Luckily or unluckily, since there have been other things
to pound.

      Title: Cuban Steaks, Garlic Citrus Marinade & Orange Onion Salsa
 Categories: Beef, Grill, Fruits
      Yield: 4 Servings

      4 ea Top round or flank steaks,
           -5 to 6 oz. each
      3 ea Garlic cloves, peeled (or 4)
    1/2 c  Orange juice
    1/4 c  Lemon juice
      2 T  Olive oil

MMMMM----------------FOR THE ORANGE-ONION SALSA:---------------------
      2 lg Sweet oranges
    1/2 ea Red onion, thinly sliced
      2 T  Finely chopped cilantro
           Salt
           Black pepper

     Preheat the grill.
  PREPARE THE STEAKS:
     Trim excess fat or connective tissue. One at a time, place each
  steak piece between two sheets of waxed paper and pound with a meat
  pounder until they are flattened to a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
     Press the garlic cloves through a garlic press and put into a large
  shallow dish. Add the orange and lemon juices and the olive oil and
  stir well. Add the steaks, turning them in the mixture to coat them,
  and leave them in the dish at room temperature.
  PREPARE THE ORANGE-ONION SALSA:
     Segment the oranges. Using a sharp knife, first cut off the peel
  at the top and bottom of each orange, cutting deeply enough to remove
  the outer membrane of the orange segments as well. Then stand each
  orange on a cut end and cut off the peel in strips in the same way.
  Holding the peeled orange over a bowl to catch the juices, free each
  segment by cutting between it and the membranes on either side; cut
  the freed segment crosswise in half and let the halves drop into the
  bowl. Add the sliced onion and cilantro and toss well, seasoning with
  salt and pepper to taste.
  GRILL THE STEAKS:
     Oil the grill rack. Remove the steaks from their marinade, pat them
  dry, and season them with salt and pepper to taste. Place the steaks
  on the rack and cook, turning once, until done to your liking, 12 to
  15 min total for medium. Serve with the salsa.
