Categories     Main Dish

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1.5 pounds skirt steaks
3 cloves garlic (peeled and mashed)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Goya Adobo seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 bunch green onions
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from real limes)
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Steps:

  • Make the marinade by combining the garlic, vegetable oil, mayonnaise, lime juice, cumin, adobo, and salt in a large glass or Pyrex bowl.
  • Cut the steak into 5-6 inch sections, or whatever will fit in your skillet. Use a meat tenderizer such as this one to tenderize the meat.
  • Place steak in marinade and make sure the marinade covers the meat as thoroughly as possible. Marinade for a minimum of 2 hours; I usually let it sit in the marinade, in the refrigerator, overnight.
  • Heat your cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When it's hot, place the skirt steak pieces on the skillet and cook until medium-rare, about 10 minutes on each side. The meat should start to develop a slight "crust" on the outside.
  • Remove meat, slice against the grain into strips, and (optionally) return to pan to finish cooking.
  • At this point, add the green onions (full length or cut in half; not chopped) as well and let them cook in the grease from the meat. Add more vegetable oil if needed.
  • Serve on warm flour tortillas with Mexican rice, salsa, cheese, sour cream, lettuce, diced tomatoes, etc.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH BEEF FAJITAS



Melt-in-Your-Mouth Beef Fajitas image

I love a good fajita but have never been satisfied with most restaurants I've gone to. I've come up with a basic recipe you can build from that is awesome in itself. Give it a try! The meat is key in a good fajita. It must melt in your mouth along with all the other fixins you put into the tortilla. Serve fajitas in warm tortillas topped with fresh guacamole, garden salsa, and fresh cilantro.

Time 10h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 flank steak
¼ cup shichimi togarashi
¼ cup orange juice
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice
½ orange, zested
½ lime, zested
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon chili powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, cut into slices and separated
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
¾ cup water

Steps:

  • Flatten flank steak slightly with a meat mallet. Rub shichimi togarashi into both sides of steak, wrap the steak in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Combine orange juice, soy sauce, lime juice, orange zest, and lime zest together in a resealable plastic bag. Remove flank steak from plastic wrap and place the steak in the resealable plastic bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove steak from marinade and pour marinade into a small bowl.
  • Cook steak on the preheated grill, basting with the marinade every 5 minutes, until it starts to firm and is seared on the outside and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 135 degrees F (57 degrees C).
  • Cut steak in half lengthwise and cut across the grain into thin slices.
  • Whisk cornstarch, chili powder, salt, paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin together in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and red bell pepper in hot oil until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Add sliced steak, chili powder mixture, and water to the skillet. Cook until sauce thickens and meat is glossy, 3 to 5 minutes.

FAJITAS (MEAT-FILLED TORTILLAS WITH HOT SAUCE)



Fajitas (Meat-filled tortillas with hot sauce) image

Provided by Craig Claiborne

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 skirt steaks, about 3 pounds
1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablepoon water
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper to taste
12 tortillas
Chipotle chili sauce (see recipe)
Red onion rings for garnish
3 large romaine lettuce leaves
Guacamole
Hot chili sauce (pico de gallo) (see recipe)
Mexican table sauce (see recipe)
Cowgirl beans (see recipe)

Steps:

  • The skirt steak should be as free of surface fat as possible. Place each steak on a flat surface, and carefully slice away most of the fat using a sharp knife. Trim well on both sides.
  • Cut each steak crosswise into three or four pieces, each about five or six inches long.
  • Place each piece of meat on the flat surface, and holding a sharp slicing knife parallel to the cutting surface, cut each piece of meat, sandwich-style, into two thin rectangles. Count on four or five slices per person.
  • Blend the garlic, lime juice, water, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Spoon a small amount into a flat dish. Make one layer of meat slices and brush the tops with the mixture. Make another layer of meat, another brushing of sauce and so on. Continue until all the slices of meat and sauce are used.
  • Cook the meat slices over a hot charcoal fire about 2 minutes on each side. Meanwhile, heat another grill or a skillet, and add the flour tortillas. Cook briefly just to heat through without browning. They must remain soft.
  • To serve, arrange equal portions of the hot grilled meat on each of six preheated plates. Smear a generous quantity of the chipotle sauce over the meat. Garnish the top with three red onion rings. Cut each lettuce leaf crosswise in half and add a half to each plate. Spoon equal portions of guacamole (two avocados will produce the right quantities for these proportions) on top. Serve the hot chili sauce and the Mexican table sauce on the side. Serve the beans in individual small bowls to be eaten with a spoon. Serve the warm flour tortillas, covered, on the side.
  • To eat, add one piece of sauce- covered, garnished meat in the center of a tortilla. Add hot chili sauce and Mexican table sauce to taste. Fold left and right sides of the tortilla over the center to enclose the meat. Fold up the bottom edge to prevent dripping.
