Pam Pack, Sewickley, Pennsylvania, Southern Living, SEPTEMBER 2005.

Provided by Julie Smith

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ground round
1/2 lb hot or mild pork sausage
1 small onion, chopped
1 large egg
1/2 c bread crumbs, dry
1/4 c mild salsa
2 Tbsp taco seasoning mix
2 Tbsp cilantro, fresh divided
1 pkg (2.64-ounce) package country-style gravy mix
1 can(s) (14 1/2-ounce) can reduced-sodium beef broth
1 can(s) (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained regular or mild

Steps:

  • 1. Combine first 7 ingredients and 1 tablespoon cilantro.
  • 2. Shape mixture into 6 (1/3-inch-thick) patties.
  • 3. Heat a lightly greased large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties; reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 8 to 10 minutes per side or until center is no longer pink.
  • 4. Remove from skillet. Wipe pan clean.
  • 5. Whisk together gravy mix, broth, tomatoes with chiles, and remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro. Cook over medium heat 1 minute or until thickened. Return patties to skillet, and cook until thoroughly heated. Garnish, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of steak. A flank steak or skirt steak is a good choice for this recipe, as they are both relatively thin and cook quickly. You can also use a hanger steak or top sirloin steak, but they will take a little longer to cook.
  • Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the steak and infuse it with flavor. You can use a store-bought marinade or make your own using olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, and cumin.
  • Cook the steak over high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the steak while keeping the inside juicy. You can cook the steak in a skillet, on a grill, or under the broiler.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the steak with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, beans, tortillas, and salsa.

Conclusion:

Tex-Mex steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can make a Tex-Mex steak that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying meal, give Tex-Mex steak a try!
