Method
Method Marinade
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together
- Add black pepper on meat(press with hand palm to make it go into)
- Put meat and marinade into a large zip bag. Let it rest 8-24 hours (less is ok if time press: first time I tried 1 hour and it was fine).
Method Meal
- Mince the Bell peppers, onions
- Prepare the guacamole
- Pour Salsa and Sour cream in bowls
- Pre-heat the flour tortilla for 1 minute in microwave
- Turn on the oven on the warm setting (just keep the meat warm after)
- Drain the marinade (keep set aside the left over juices) and dry the meat.
- Heat some oil - medium heat - in a large pan
- Cook the steak for about 2 minutes on each side
- Set the meat aside in the warm oven
- Set the pan on medium-heat, add a tad of oil (and butter)
- Toss in the sliced onions and peppers and cook for a few minutes.
- Then toss in a bit of the marinade and continue cooking until ready (at the end I usually grab the juice from the meat and throw it in as well).
- 1 more minute on the flour tortillas and at the same time (microwave)
- Get the meat out and slice the meat in thin slices, making sure to cut across the grain, slightly in diagonal, inner-length strips.
Note : 3 ounces steak per tortilla, 2 tortillas per person = 6 ounces total each person 6 ounces x 6 people = 36 ounces = 2 1/4 pounds steak …1 ounce = 30 gr,) To eat, each one roll his/her own, a flour tortilla, some guacamole, some meat, some fried onions+pepper, salsa and sour cream.
