Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds flank steak
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground oregano
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 large onions, roughly chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeds removed and diced
1 to 2 diced, canned chipotle peppers (not the whole can)
1 tablespoon Adobo sauce from the canned chipotle
1 cup white wine or chicken broth
4 to 5 large tomatoes, cut into large chunks (about 1 pound) or sub with canned tomatoes

Steps:

  • Slice the flank steak into thin strips across the grain.
  • Combine the cumin, sugar, salt, oregano, chili powder, and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Toss the steak strips with the spices until they get completely coated. Let the steak sit for at least 20 minutes or place in the fridge overnight.
  • Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium high heat until it gets smoking hot. When the oil is hot, work in batches to cook the steak strips. Add the steak strips in a single layer and let them sear for 1 to 2 minutes without moving them. When they get a caramelized brown color, give them a stir then transfer to a plate. Repeat with the rest of the steak strips then transfer them to a plate. You don't need to cook the steak all the way, just get it browned. The steak strips will cook more later in the recipe.
  • Don't clean the skillet out. The pieces left behind from cooking the steak will loosen up when you cook the vegetables.
  • Add the onions to the hot skillet and cook, stirring frequently until softened. Add garlic, jalapeño peppers, chipotle, and adobo sauce. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring, until the peppers and garlic are fragrant.
  • Pour in the wine or broth to deglaze the pan. Scrape up any cooked-on bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Return the steak strips to the skillet and add the tomatoes. Give everything a stir and reduce the heat to medium. Cover with a lid and simmer for 15 to 25 minutes until the steak gets tender and the tomatoes break down into a juicy sauce.
  • Remove the lid and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce.
  • Serve with rice or roasted potatoes.

BIG-BATCH RANCHERO SAUCE



Big-Batch Ranchero Sauce image

There is no other aroma coming from the kitchen - not truffle, not freshly peeled orange, not a chocolate cake baking - that will stop you in your tracks and make you inhale as deeply as this ranchero sauce simmering away. Here's a large batch to use in many ways: Poach eggs in it for brunch, simmer shrimp in it for taco filling, or spoon it over shredded chicken with avocado slices inside a flour tortilla for lunch for the kiddos. Put it in tightly sealed Mason jars and bring it to friends as a host gift.

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 quarts (a ton; that's the point)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 1/2 pounds/about 100 ounces canned whole, peeled plum tomatoes and their juices (or one restaurant-style No. 10 can)
1 bunch cilantro, leaves and stems washed and roughly chopped
1 cup peeled garlic cloves
4 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed then roughly chopped
2 guajillo chiles, stems detached
1 tablespoon achiote paste
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine everything in a large pot or rondeau, and simmer over gentle heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent any scorching on the bottom. Add a little water if it becomes any thicker than ketchup. Allow to cool before puréeing.
  • Working in a blender in batches, purée until smooth. Check the salt seasoning. Let cool.
  • Transfer to quart or pint containers, and stock your freezer, or put the sauce in something more attractive - rubber-sealed jars with hinged lids? - to make gifts of the stuff. Ranchero sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 1 year. (It may separate a little, in which case you can simply reheat and give a new buzz in a blender to reunify.)

HUEVOS RANCHEROS



Huevos Rancheros image

Eggs "rancher's style" is a traditional, hearty Mexican breakfast typically enjoyed after a hard morning's work. But it also makes for a satisfying and comforting weeknight dinner. The simple yet flavorful homemade salsa comes together quickly and is smartly used in three ways: a quick simmer transforms the salsa into the warm ranchero sauce; it adds a zesty flavor that shines through in the smoky refried beans; and it gives a final fresh finish as a tangy topping. Any leftover ranchero sauce and refried beans make for great dips the next day.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 pounds ripe tomatoes, diced
3/4 cup finely chopped white onion (from ½ medium onion)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 small jalapeño, stemmed and minced
2 teaspoons kosher salt, such as Diamond Crystal, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
1/4 cup neutral oil, such as safflower or canola
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves, plus more for serving
8 (6-inch) warmed corn tortillas
Sliced avocado and crumbled queso fresco, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, jalapeño, 2 teaspoons salt and ¼ teaspoon of the garlic, and mix well. Transfer 1½ cups of the fresh salsa to a bowl and set aside.
  • Cook the remaining salsa over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes soften and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes. Transfer the ranchero sauce to a bowl and cover to keep warm (you should have about 2 cups).
  • In the same saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium. Add the remaining ¼ teaspoon garlic and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add the beans (and their liquid), cumin, smoked paprika and ½ cup of the reserved fresh salsa, and cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and mashing with the back of a spoon or potato masher, until the mixture is smooth and thick, about 10 minutes. Season with salt to taste and remove from heat.
  • In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium. Crack in 4 of the eggs and cook undisturbed until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a large plate and repeat with the remaining oil and eggs.
  • Meanwhile, stir the cilantro into the remaining 1 cup reserved salsa. Divide the tortillas across 4 plates (2 per plate). Spread refried black beans on the tortillas and top each with an egg. Cover the eggs with ranchero sauce. Divide avocado on the plates and garnish with some of the fresh salsa, queso fresco and cilantro.
