Drunken Steak Recipes

DRUNKEN STEAK

Steps:

• Place the steak and all remaining ingredients in a plastic zippered bag. Zip it up and let it sit in the fridge for 2 to 3 hours.
• When you are ready to cook, turn the grill on high and let it heat up for 10 minutes. Pop the steak on the grill (discard the marinade) and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium rare depending on the size of your steak (if you are using a meat thermometer, you are looking for 140 degrees).
• Let the steak rest under foil for 5 minutes, then slice it up against the grain and serve!

DRUNK'N STEAK

Steps:

• Choose your favorite cut of meat. In my family we use chuck because it is very inexpensive and badly NEEDS tenderizing.
• Take a small-tipped paring knife and puncture the meat on both sides several times. Doing this helps get flavor into the meat, not just on the surface.
• Place the meat in a glass pan. (I've never seen it, but I have heard that acidic liquids can do damage to your metal cookware.)
• In another bowl, mix one part rum (We use Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum, though the Coconut one is really good too.) to two parts cola (don't use Pepsi because it is too sweet).
• Pour the mixture over your meat (make sure that the meat is covered by the liquid). Cover and let sit for at least two hours in the refrigerator. Make sure to turn the meat at least once.
• We usually have some grilled vegetables with this as well. Choose your favorite summer vegetables and place on a sheet of buttered aluminum foil, leave half of the foil sheet empty so it can be used to created a packet. On top of the vegetables place one tablespoon of margarine or butter, and one cube of ice. Sprinkle garlic salt, onion powder, and rotiserrie chicken seasoning over the vegetables. Fold uncovered part of foil over the vegetables to form a packet and seal.
• Get your grill nice and hot and place vegetable packets on. Pull the meat from the refrigerator. Take meat out of the marinade and place on a plate. Rub a small amount of freshly ground pepper and salt into the meat.
• Put meat on the grill...mix yourself a rum and coke and use a little of it to keep the flames off of the meat.
• Cooking time depends on your grill. The steaks can also be done in the kitchen but are so much more fun out in the yard.
• Enjoy one of my families favorites and have a great summer.
• Happy eating.

FLANK STEAK FAJITAS WITH CHIMICHURRI AND DRUNKEN PEPPERS

Steps:

• Make the chimichurri: In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, garlic, red onion, paprika, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth. Reserve half for drizzling on the fajitas. Place the remaining half in a large resealable plastic bag.
• Marinate the steak: Place the steak in the bag with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal. Rest at room temperature for up to 2 hours.
• Make the peppers: In a large straight-sided pan with a lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. When the oil begins to swirl, add the poblano, bell, and jalapeno peppers, and the onion. Season with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened and slightly caramelized around the edges, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the beer, cover, and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until all the vegetables are plump and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Grill the steak: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade. Season the steak with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper on both sides. Grill the steak, flipping just once, until cooked to medium rare, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer the steak to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
• Warm the tortillas: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Wet your hands and rub each side of the tortillas with your hands, then stack the tortillas, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil, and place on the center rack of the oven until steamy, about 10 minutes ( or place them in a warmer).
• Assemble the fajitas: Slice the steak into thin slices on the bias, against the direction of the muscle. Place a few strips of meat on each warmed tortilla and top with the peppers. Drizzle the reserved chimichurri over the top and fold loosely like a soft taco.
