Bonnies Beefy Steak Tacos Recipes

MEXICAN STREET TACOS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, 1 tablespoon canola oil, garlic, chili powder, cumin and oregano. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine soy sauce mixture and steak; marinate for at least 1 hour up to 4 hours, turning the bag occasionally. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steak and marinade, and cook, stirring often, until steak has browned and marinade has reduced, about 5-6 minutes, or until desired doneness. Serve steak in tortillas, topped with onion, cilantro and lime.

15-MINUTE STIR-FRIED STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• Cut the steak along the grain into 3-inch pieces, then slice each piece across the grain into 1/3-inch-thick strips. Toss the steak in a medium bowl with the chili powder, oregano, sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Meanwhile, wrap the tortillas in a clean dishcloth, and microwave at 100 percent for 1 minute. Let sit, wrapped in the dishcloth, until ready to serve.
• When the skillet is hot, add the oil. Add the seasoned steak in an even layer. Don't stir for 2 minutes, then give the steak a good stir and let cook until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes more. Transfer the steak to a medium bowl. Immediately add the onions to the skillet, and stir until brown and slightly softened, about 1 1/2 minutes; transfer to the bowl with the steak, and stir to combine.
• Set up a taco bar with the steak and onions, wrapped tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, salsa verde, pico de gallo and cheese.

BONNIE'S BEEFY STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• 1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN: Do your prep work first and then it goes together really fast. I use a divided dish for the vegetables and cheese and then assemble the tacos after the tortillas are fried.
• 2. PREPARE INGREDIENTS: Wash the romaine lettuce. I cut it as fine as possible with a sharp knife, looks like it is shredded. Dice the onion fine. Dice tomatoes. Chop the cilantro fine, and mix with the tomatoes. Put the vegies and the cheese in the divided dish and set it in the refrigerator.
• 3. Grate the cheese. Dice the cooked steak into small pieces.
• 4. COOKING THE MEAT: You will need a large pan for the taco meat and steak and a medium pan to fry the tortillas. Place the ground beef in the pan over medium heat. When it starts to brown, I use a metal potato masher to make it all the same size. When the meat is lightly browned, add the taco seasoning mix, cumin, garlic, worcestershire sauce, A-1 sauce, and stir. Then add the salt and pepper and pepper flakes if you want it. Add one cup of water, stir, and let it simmer uncovered until the liquid is reduced. When it is reduced, add the steak. Adding it later keeps it from becoming tough. Keep it hot while you fry the tortillas. You can add a couple of spoons of water to keep it moist. Don't let it dry out (it is now ready to eat) . By the time the meat has reduced, you should have the taco shells fried.
• 5. FRYING THE TACO SHELLS: Fry the tortillas in hot oil, folding to make a shell until golden brown and then drain on paper towels. I cook the shells according to my family's preference. Some like them soft, others like them crispy. The boxed shells just don't taste the same to us.
• 6. When the shells are fried, assemble the tacos with the meat first, onion, tomato/cilantro mixture, lettuce and cheese, and taco sauce if desired. We like ours piled high with the vegies. Serve with guacamole and sour cream and a side of refried beans. Enjoy!

BONNIE'S SALISBURY STEAK

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE THE MEAT THE NIGHT BEFORE: Combine the ground beef, bread, onion, mince garlic, sea salt and fresh cracked pepper in a large bowl. Add the milk. Mix well. Form into oval shaped patties, not too thick or thin. Wrap the patties individually and tightly in saran wrap and refrigerate over night. (Don't skip this step!)
• 2. MAKING THE SALISBURY STEAKS: In a small skillet, prepare the 2 packets of gravy per instructions. Add the one tablespoon of Lipton Mushroom Onion mix. (or 1/2 tablespoon if you use one packet) Once it's thickened, add the mushrooms and simmer. Sprinkle the prepared Salsibury Steak patties with the McCormick Steak Seasoning. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Once it's hot, add the salisbury steak patties and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until nice and brown, and to your desired degree of doneness. Use oil very sparingly if you have to.
• 3. SERVING THE SALISBURY STEAKS: You can serve the salsibury steaks two ways. You can add the gravy right into the pan and simmer it with the Salsibury Steaks for a few minutes. The gravy should be thickened. (We prefer it like that because the gravy picks up the juices of the meat) Or you can place the cooked steak patties on a serving dish and cover with the mushroom gravy. Garnish with 1 teaspoon chopped green onion. Enjoy!
