Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 teaspoon light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound skirt steak
3 multi-colored bell peppers, cut into thick strips
1 large yellow onion, sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves
Iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
8 small flour tortillas, warm

Steps:

  • Stir together the sugar, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small mixing bowl to make the dry rub for the steak.
  • Put the steak on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Rub both sides generously with the spice rub. Allow the steak to come up to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
  • Place a grill pan over medium-high heat and allow the pan to heat for 5 minutes.
  • Put the bell peppers and onions in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables out over the hot grill pan. Cook, tossing occasionally, until caramelized and softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Put the grilled vegetables on a serving platter and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
  • To cook the steak, brush the hot grill pan with the vegetable oil. Place the steak on the grill and cook for 3 minutes. Flip the steak over and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and allow it to rest for at least 5 minutes.
  • Slice the steak into thin strips, against the grain of the meat. Layer the steak over the warm vegetables and sprinkle with the cilantro leaves. Serve with shredded iceberg lettuce, sour cream and warm tortillas.

MEXICAN BEEF STIR-FRY



Mexican Beef Stir-Fry image

This is a very unique stir fry, in that it's served on a bed of shredded lettuce instead of over rice! To save time, you can buy a bag of pre-shredded lettuce. I like 2 or more jalapenos, but I like things spicy. If you'd like, you can garnish with salsa, diced avocados, chopped green onions, and sour cream! I like this served hot, but you can serve it cold as a salad....but I really like it hot over the cold lettuce!

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the steak and vegetables plenty of room to cook.
  • Cook the steak in batches: If you overcrowd the skillet, the steak will steam instead of sear. Cook the steak in batches to ensure that it gets evenly browned.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Steak is best cooked to medium-rare or medium. If you overcook it, it will become tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your stir-fry. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and carrots.
  • Add some heat: If you like spicy food, add some chili peppers or Sriracha sauce to your stir-fry. You can also use a spicy marinade for the steak.
  • Serve immediately: Stir-fries are best served hot and fresh. If you let them sit for too long, the vegetables will become soggy and the steak will toughen.

Conclusion:

Mexican Fiesta Steak Stir-Fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover steak. With its bold flavors and colorful vegetables, this stir-fry is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a flavorful and healthy meal, give this recipe a try.
