Sunnys Michelada Skirt Steak Tacos With Cerveza Pico Recipes

MICHELADA FLANK STEAK TACOS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Add the beer, tomato sauce and oil to a large resealable bag. Squeeze the limes in, then drop them in the bag. Add the steak, sprinkle with salt and pepper and seal. Marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours. Remove the steak from the bag and discard the contents. Pat the steak dry on both sides and sprinkle lightly with more salt and pepper.
• For the pico de gallo: Add the tomatoes, beer, cilantro, onion, lime juice, hot sauce, radishes, jalapenos and a pinch of salt and pepper to a large bowl. Drizzle with some olive oil, then toss and let rest at room temperature until ready to use.
• For the rub: Preheat the grill of a smart countertop grill to high heat. Combine the chile-lime seasoning, chile powder and zest in a small bowl. Sprinkle the seasoning all over the steak and rub into both sides. Place the steak on the grill, cover and cook until the internal temperature reaches 120 degrees F for medium-rare, flipping halfway through, about 8 minutes total. Remove the steak to a plate, cover loosely with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice the steak against the grain. Make tacos with warmed tortillas and the prepared pico de gallo.

SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH SHALLOT RINGS

Steps:

• Add the skirt steak to a shallow dish. Add the sherry, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper. Carefully toss to combine, then marinate the skirt steak for 30 to 45 minutes at room temperature. (Optional: Use a fork to prick the steak many times to help the marinade do its job.)
• Prepare a gas or charcoal grill for cooking over direct medium-high heat.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and pat dry. Grill on one side for about 5 minutes, then flip and continue to grill until medium-rare, another 3 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Heat the tortillas over a direct flame until the desired char is reached on both sides. Place in a covered pan and keep warm in the oven.
• Slice the skirt steak against the grain. Make tacos with the steak and Avocado Salsa, then garnish each with Shallot Rings and cilantro leaves.
• Mix together the cilantro, garlic, jalapeno and onion on a cutting board. Add the lime juice and salt and continue mincing until combined. Add this mixture to the halved avocado flesh in a bowl and mash with a fork until the avocados are broken down and everything is combined.
• Soak the shallots in the buttermilk in a bowl for up to 30 minutes. Preheat 3 inches oil in a large Dutch oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the grits in a large paper bag. Pour off the buttermilk from the shallots, then add the shallots to the bag and shake to coat. Add the coated shallots to the oil in batches and fry until crispy, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt.

SKIRT STEAK TACOS WITH ROASTED TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Heat grill to high.
• Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and on the top rack of the grill while the steak is grilling.
• Heat grill pan over high heat. Brush steak with oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill on one side until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the steak over and cook to medium-rare doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes then slice against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
• Fill each tortilla with some lettuce, 3 to 4 pieces of meat, onion, grilled tomato salsa, sour cream, and avocado.
• Heat grill to high.
• Heat oil in a small saute pan and saute the chiles, onion, and garlic until soft.
• Brush tomatoes with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides until slightly charred and soft.
• Transfer tomatoes and serrano mixture to a food processor; add the lime juice and salt and pepper and process until smooth. Add the cilantro and pulse a few times (there should be flecks of cilantro in the salsa.) Transfer to a bowl.
