THE BEST GUACAMOLE



The Best Guacamole image

Simple ingredients in perfect proportion make a this dip a crowd-pleasing favorite for any event. We decided not to use tomato in ours -- it makes the guac watery -- and included both onion and garlic for extra zip. A healthy dose of fresh lime juice balances and brightens the flavors.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 small red onion, diced small
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
4 ripe Hass avocados
1/4 cup lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 jalapeno, minced (seeds and membranes included if you prefer heat or removed for a milder version)
1 clove garlic, grated
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup lightly packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped (about 1/4 cup finely chopped)
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Put the diced onion into a small strainer and rinse under cold running water. Transfer to a small bowl and cover with 1 cup cold water. Stir in the vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. Pour the lime juice over the avocado. Using a fork or potato masher, mash the avocado until creamy with some chunks remaining. Drain the onions well and add to the bowl, along with the jalapeno, garlic, salt and cilantro. Stir to combine.
  • Serve immediately with tortilla chips. Or press a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole to prevent discoloration and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1 1/3-pound flank steaks
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Coarse kosher salt
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
11/4 cups thinly sliced green onions (about 6)
1 12-ounce bottle dark beer
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
Aji Sauce
Colombian Guacamole

Steps:

  • Using sharp knife, lightly score flank steaks about 1/8 inch deep on both sides in a crisscross pattern at 1/2-inch intervals. Place steaks in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Sprinkle steaks on both sides with oregano and cumin and generous amount of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. Drizzle olive oil over both sides of steaks, rubbing oil and spices into meat. Add green onions, beer, and Worcestershire sauce, turning steaks several times to coat both sides. Cover and chill at least 3 hours, turning occasionally. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Brush grill rack lightly with oil. Grill steaks to desired doneness, 3 to 4 minutes total per side for medium-rare, turning steaks 1/4 turn after 1 1/2 minutes to form crisscross grill marks, if desired. Transfer steaks to cutting board; let rest 5 minutes. Thinly slice steaks across grain. Transfer to platter and serve with Aji Sauce and Colombian Guacamole.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use ripe avocados.
  • If you don't have a molcajete, you can use a mortar and pestle or a food processor to make the guacamole.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the guacamole, or it will become too smooth.
  • Serve the guacamole immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Garnish the guacamole with cilantro, diced tomatoes, or crumbled queso fresco before serving.
