STEAK RANCHEROS



Steak Rancheros image

Great rancheros sauce in which beef cutlets are sauteed. Serve over rice as these are very saucy and the sauce is amazing. Alternatively can serve sauce over grilled steak.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces chopped tomatoes (canned)
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/4 onion
2 serrano peppers, stem removed
2 jalapenos, stem removed (use less if you don't like things too spicy)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon chipotle hot sauce
salt and pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
4 (1/4 lb) cube steak

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except oil and beef in blender or food processor until very smooth. It will be a thin sauce.
  • Heat oil in skillet until very hot. "Fry" the sauce stirring constantly. Beware of splatters. Cook down about 10 minutes.
  • Place steaks in pan with sauce and cover with sauce. Place lid on skillet. Simmer on medium covered about 15-25 minutes until cooked through. Periodically can spoon more sauce over meat.
  • Serve over rice. I particularly like Goya's Spanish Rice.

Categories     Meat Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 c grilled steak, diced (i used leftover steak from the day before)
1 medium tomato, diced
2 green onions, sliced thin
2 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp cumin
pinch jalapenos powder, can mince fresh jalapenos if desired
salt and pepper to taste
2 eggs
butter, melted
1/2 c monterey jack cheese
salsa for topping, can use store brought or homemade
2 6 to 7 inch flour tortillas, store brought or homemade
slice avocado, optional

Steps:

  • 1. In a small skillet over a medium heat, heat oil. Add steak and heat; add tomato, onions, garlic, cumin, jalapeno powder, salt and pepper and cook 3 to 4 minutes until good and hot. Turn heat off. NOTE: should you opt to used Jalapeno peppers, remember to wear gloves. Slice and seed, then dice.
  • 2. Cook eggs sunny side up until almost done; add about 1/4 cup cheese to top of each egg. Cover and cook until cheese begins to melt.
  • 3. Place the tortillas on plates, spoon 1/2 of the meat mixture on each tortilla; place egg on top and spoon salsa over top of each egg. Add a slice of avocado if you like.
  • 4. I used homemade salsa: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/snack/other-snack/canning-garden-fresh-salsa.html?p=2

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are all good choices for steak rancheros. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, so they won't become tough or overcooked.
  • Marinate the steak. Marinating the steak in a mixture of lime juice, garlic, cumin, and chili powder will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
  • Don't overcook the steak. Steak rancheros is best when the steak is cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooked steak will be tough and chewy.
  • Serve the steak rancheros with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

Conclusion:

Steak rancheros is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
