Yummy

So I felt like making food...

First off, prepping the meat for the main dish. Skirt steak marinated in Tecate, lemon juice, garlic, kosher salt and pepper:


But, to go with it we need green salsa! Let's look at the ingredients... left to right: poblanos, tomatillos, habaneros, and cilantro. Also present is a fresh espresso for the chef.


Oh wait, we're forgetting mr White Onion:


First we need to broil the stuff:


Do the same to the habaneros, poblanos and white onion. Take the stuff out when it looks like this:


Time for a guest appearance by mr Cuisinart:

 

Some garlic and cilantro joins in:


Punch the go button and...


Refigerate for a couple hours.... MMGOOOOD!



I'll post pics of what happened to the meat later... :naughty:

 

By the way, skirt steak is a little frightening in that unlike most meats you get packaged it really does look like it came out of--and belongs inside--an animal.

 

Nah, just a very obsessive hobby. Cruise on over sometime and I'll treat you to dinner, moose-style.

 

So let's see what happened to the meat.

After about 4 hours of marinating, this is the result:


Not too appetizing? Check out the marbling:


Mr Cast Iron pan is waiting:


In goes the meat and some yellow and green bell pepper strips:

 

Few minutes later:


Warmed tortillas are waiting:


The final result... yes, that is generic Publix taco cheese, not proper. But ya know what? F proper, I cook what I LIKE. So, meat and peppers in tortilla, some cheese, and some of that glorious salsa verde pictured above. Absolute heaven.

 

Hahaha, just tell me when, and feed me some good beer.. I'll be there!

 

Yeah, I always felt a bit intimidated by Mexican cooking since I had no clue about it... your stuff was inspiring, so decided to give it a go. :kiss:
